Trauma Healing

There are many types of Trauma…

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD Post-traumatic stress disorder keeps your nervous system locked in survival mode long after the threat has passed. Flashbacks, hypervigilance, nightmares, emotional numbness — these aren’t character flaws. They’re a nervous system doing what it learned to do. PTSD responds powerfully to the right treatment. Using ART, IFS, and somatic approaches, I help clients in Las Vegas move through PTSD — not just manage it. Read more →

Complex PTSD

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) When trauma was chronic, repeated, or happened at the hands of someone who was supposed to keep you safe, the wounds run deeper than standard PTSD. Complex PTSD affects your emotional regulation, your self-concept, your relationships, and your sense of reality. This isn’t too much to heal — it requires the right approach, the right pace, and a therapist who genuinely understands developmental trauma. Read more →

Childhood Trauma

Childhood Trauma What happened in childhood doesn’t stay in childhood. Adverse childhood experiences — abuse, neglect, chaos, emotional unavailability — shape the nervous system, the inner critic, the patterns you keep finding yourself in. Healing childhood trauma as an adult means making sense of where these patterns came from, grieving what should have been different, and building a self that belongs to you. Read more →

Sexual Assault 

Sexual Assault Surviving sexual assault is not the end of your story. The freeze response, the fragmented memories, the shame that doesn’t belong to you — these are documented, understood trauma responses. And they heal. I work with sexual assault survivors in Las Vegas with the belief, the steadiness, and the clinical skill this work requires. You can move at your own pace. You don’t have to tell everything at once.

Childhood Sexual Abuse

Childhood Sexual Abuse Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse carry wounds that are often decades old and rarely fully named. Deep shame, complicated relationships with the body, patterns in intimacy that don’t make sense until they do — this is layered, important work. You are not too damaged. What happened was not your fault. It could have been from a family member, friend or neighbor, babysitter, stranger, teacher, priest, or even another child and it IS STILL ABUSE. And healing, done carefully and at your pace, is real. Read more →

Healing Abuse in Children with Family Therapy

When a child has experienced sexual or physical abuse, the entire family is impacted, and healing takes time, safety, and support. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where children can begin to process what happened in ways that feel safe and age-appropriate. Using gentle, evidence-based approaches—such as play therapy, CBT, and somatic techniques—I help children reduce fear, shame, and anxiety while rebuilding a sense of safety in their bodies and relationships. At the same time, I support parents and caregivers in understanding how to best respond, offering tools to create stability, validation, and trust at home. My goal is to help children regain resilience and hope, while strengthening the family’s ability to nurture healing together. 

Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse

Emotional & Narcissistic Abuse Emotional abuse leaves no visible marks — which is exactly what makes it so hard to name and so easy to dismiss. Gaslighting, coercive control, the cycle of idealization and contempt — these create real trauma. If you’ve spent years doubting your own perceptions or rebuilding yourself around someone else’s reality, therapy can help you reclaim your sense of what’s true, what you need, and who you actually are.

Trauma Bonding and Domestic Violence

Trauma Bonding & Domestic Violence Leaving an abusive relationship is never as simple as “just go.” Trauma bonding — the powerful psychological attachment that forms in cycles of harm and reconciliation — is real, neurological, and not a sign of weakness. I work with survivors of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse without judgment, without a timeline, and without requiring you to have it all figured out before you walk in. Read more →

Intimacy and Sex after Trauma

Intimacy & Sex After Trauma Sexual trauma changes your relationship with your body, with touch, and with intimacy — sometimes in ways that linger long after everything else feels more manageable. Dissociation during sex, triggers you can’t always predict, difficulty experiencing pleasure without fear or shame — these are treatable. Your sexuality belongs to you. Therapy can help you reclaim it, at whatever pace feels right. Read more →

Trauma Stores in the Body

Trauma & the Body Trauma isn’t only stored in memory — it lives in the body as chronic tension, a startle response that won’t settle, a gut that braces, a breath that never fully deepens. Talk therapy alone often can’t reach it. Somatic and body-based approaches work directly with the nervous system to release what the body has been holding — because healing the whole person means including the body, not working around it.

What if I can’t remember what happened?

Dissociation can occur to protect us from the pain of life and this can effect our memory. Do you ever feel detached from your body, watching yourself from outside, losing time, moving through life like it isn’t quite real — dissociation is a trauma response, not a sign you’re losing your mind. It developed because at some point, it protected you. Therapy helps you understand the internal landscape dissociation created, build stability, and gradually come back into your life more fully present. Read more →

Healing Religious Trauma

Religious Trauma Religion was supposed to be a source of safety, meaning, and belonging. When it becomes a source of fear, shame, control, or abuse — the damage is real, and it deserves real therapeutic attention. Whether you’re healing from a high-control religious environment, processing the grief of faith deconstruction, carrying shame installed by purity culture, or rebuilding an identity that was entirely organized around beliefs you no longer hold — this is a space where all of it is welcome, and none of it will be judged.

Chronic Pain and Illness IS Traumatic

Chronic Illness & Chronic Pain Living with chronic illness or pain isn’t just a physical experience — it’s a grief process, an identity shift, and an ongoing negotiation with a body that doesn’t behave the way you expected. The anxiety, the isolation, the rage, the exhaustion of not being believed — these are real, and they deserve more than a pamphlet about coping skills. I work with chronic illness and pain clients in Las Vegas using somatic, nervous system–informed approaches that meet you exactly where your body is today. Read more →

Sex Work isn’t always, but it can come with Trauma

Therapy for Sex Workers & Adult Industry Professionals You deserve a therapist who won’t make your career the problem. Whether you’re navigating burnout, relationship dynamics, identity and compartmentalization, or simply need support from someone who won’t flinch at what you do for work — this is that space. No agenda about your choices. No moralizing. Full confidentiality. I work with people in the adult industry in Las Vegas with the same non-judgment, care, and clinical skill I bring to every client — because your mental health matters regardless of how you earn a living.
