Gentle, trauma-informed approach
Trauma symptoms can show up in many ways
Trauma isn’t defined only by the event — it’s defined by how your nervous system learned to survive. Symptoms may include:
Feeling on edge or easily startled
Sleep disturbance, nightmares, or night sweats
Irritability, anger, or emotional shutdown
Avoidance of reminders or situations
Feeling detached, numb, or “not present”
Intrusive memories or rumination
Anxiety, panic, depression, or shame

Sleep and nightmare support
Grounding and nervous-system regulation tools
Referral/coordination for trauma therapy (EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, somatic therapies) if desired
Nightmares and sleep
Sleep is often one of the first areas we stabilize. We’ll build a plan that reduces nighttime fear and improves recovery.
