Trauma
Trauma can feel like living with a smoke alarm that won’t turn off—always on edge, always scanning for danger, even when things seem “fine” on the surface.
It rewires your nervous system, reshapes how you see yourself and the world, and can make everyday life feel unpredictable or unsafe. Being a trauma survivor often means carrying invisible wounds while trying to meet the world’s expectations as if nothing ever happened. The challenge isn’t that you’re “too sensitive” or “stuck in the past”—it’s that your body and mind are doing their best to protect you in a world that rarely slows down enough to ask what you’ve been through.
Common Examples
Emotional numbness
Dissocation/feeling unreal
Flashbacks/intrusive thoughts
Avoidance of triggers
Depression/anxiety
Panic attacks
How We Can Help
-
Alexandra Goodrich, LAC, is trained in EMDR. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories in a way that feels less intense and overwhelming. It uses bilateral stimulation—like eye movements, tapping, or sounds—to help "unlock" stuck memories and allow the brain to reprocess them with more clarity and calm. Instead of just talking about the trauma, EMDR helps your nervous system actually let go of it.
-
Through a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral lens, we can teach you grounding techniques and skills to regulate before we start to process the thoughts, feelings and somatic/physical sensation that come with triggers of your trauma and work through them together.
-
By having a corrective experience in therapy, we hope to provide you a safe space where you can work through attachment wounds and styles that may be keeping you from fulfilling relationships and goals in life.
-
Let’s untangle any unhelpful or heavy beliefs, affirm your worth, and shift the blame where it belongs—away from you.
