Virtual EMDR Therapy for PTSD, Complex Trauma, and Dissociation
In Florida and Colorado
SOMETHING HAS YOU FEELING STUCK.
You may look functional on the outside while feeling disconnected, emotionally shut down, overwhelmed by triggers, or stuck in patterns that still feel shaped by the past. Trauma therapy can help you process what your system has been carrying, reconnect with yourself, and begin living from the present instead of survival mode.
You may be here because…
You may be used to holding it together while feeling anything but okay underneath.
Maybe you feel numb more often than you would like. Maybe you lose access to yourself in relationships, shut down when things feel too intense, or get pulled into the same painful patterns even though part of you knows better. Maybe you have done a lot of thinking, reading, and self-awareness work, but your body and emotions still respond as if the past is not over.
Trauma does not always look obvious. Sometimes it looks like dissociation, emotional numbness, chronic shame, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting yourself, or feeling like different parts of you are pulling in different directions.
If that sounds familiar, you are not broken. These patterns often begin as adaptations — ways your system learned to survive.
Support for PTSD, Complex Trauma, & Trauma-related Dissociation
I specialize in helping adults navigate:
Childhood trauma
Relational trauma
Family of origin wounds
Emotional shutdown and numbness
Chronic shame and self-doubt
Protective patterns that no longer fit your life
Younger parts of you that still carry fear, pain, or unmet needs
This work is for people who are tired of understanding their patterns intellectually while still feeling stuck in them emotionally, physically, and relationally.
My Approach
Trauma therapy that goes deeper than insight alone:
I use EMDR therapy, parts work, and a trauma-informed, relational approach to help you understand and heal the deeper roots of your symptoms.
That means therapy is not just about managing reactions better or talking through what happened. It is about helping your system process unresolved experiences, gently working with the parts of you that learned to protect, avoid, detach, or overfunction, and creating more safety in the present.
Our work together may include:
Understanding how trauma is affecting your current life and relationships
Building safety, grounding, and internal stability
Gently working with dissociation and protective responses
Identifying younger parts of you carrying fear, shame, grief, or unmet needs
Using EMDR to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of triggers
Helping you feel more connected, present, and able to respond with more choice
EMDR & Parts Work
Healing Trauma at the Root
EMDR helps the brain and body process experiences that still feel unresolved. Parts work helps you understand the different aspects of yourself that formed to survive — the part that shuts down, the part that stays guarded, the part that overexplains, the part that people-pleases, the part that keeps going no matter what, or the part that still feels young and overwhelmed.
For many trauma survivors, healing is not just about knowing what happened. It is about helping the parts of you that are still living as if the past is still happening.
Therapy can help you begin to:
Feel less reactive to reminders of the past
Reduce emotional overwhelm or shutdown
Understand yourself with more compassion
Trust your feelings, needs, and boundaries
Feel more present in your daily life and relationships
Respond more often from your adult self instead of old survival patterns
Therapy for Dissociation, Shutdown, & Numbness
When trauma leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself
Not everyone responds to trauma by looking visibly overwhelmed. Sometimes trauma shows up through dissociation, numbness, spacing out, memory gaps, feeling unreal, or feeling disconnected from your emotions, body, or surroundings.
These experiences can be confusing, frustrating, and hard to explain — especially when you look “fine” from the outside.
Therapy can help you better understand why dissociation happens, build more internal safety, and work gently with the protective responses that helped you get through what you could not fully process at the time. Healing does not have to mean forcing yourself to feel everything all at once. It can begin with creating enough safety to stay more connected in the present.

What Healing Can Look Like
Healing does not mean pretending the past did not affect you. It does not mean becoming a completely different person. And it does not mean never getting triggered again.
It can look like:
feeling more connected to yourself
staying present more often instead of shutting down
understanding triggers without being consumed by them
relating to younger parts of yourself with compassion instead of shame
trusting yourself more fully
feeling safer in your relationships
having more choice in how you respond
living with more intention and less reactivity
