Trauma Therapy in Kentucky

Unlock Lasting Healing

If you’re feeling trapped in a cycle of anxiety, self-doubt, or unhealthy relationships, you’re not alone.

Many individuals just like you have experienced painful patterns stemming from unresolved childhood trauma, broken attachments, or relationship wounds that never seem to heal—no matter how hard you try. Maybe you’ve gone through traditional talk therapy or other methods that haven’t provided the relief you’re seeking. It can be frustrating, draining, and leave you feeling stuck.

Does this sound like you….

You’ve experienced trauma, and despite your best efforts, it still affects your day-to-day life. Maybe you find yourself stuck in a cycle of emotional pain, struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or a persistent sense of unease that won’t go away, no matter what you try. You might be feeling disconnected from yourself or those around you, constantly replaying old wounds, or even avoiding situations that trigger painful memories. If you’re looking for lasting change—true, transformative healing—you’re in the right place.

I’m here to help you heal from the root cause of your pain. Whether it’s childhood trauma, unresolved attachment wounds, or the lingering effects of past relationships, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can process these experiences and finally begin to move forward. But this isn’t just about coping or learning to “live with” what happened. It’s about creating deep, meaningful change that frees you from the weight of the past, so you can step into the life you truly want.

I Work with People Who Are Motivated to Make Real Change

I know how difficult it can be to break through old patterns. Maybe you’ve been in therapy before, hoping it would help, but you still find yourself reacting in ways that don’t serve you. Perhaps you’re struggling with trust issues, self-doubt, or an inability to form secure relationships. Or maybe you’re simply tired of feeling “stuck” and ready to get to the core of what’s been holding you back.

I specialize in working with individuals who are ready to do the deep work. If you’re highly motivated and willing to explore what’s beneath the surface—if you’re prepared to face your past and transform the impact it has on your present—then we’re likely a good fit. I’m not here to offer a quick fix or band-aid solutions. My approach is about helping you create lasting, foundational change, so you can experience genuine healing and growth.

We Can Work on the Following Together:

  • Healing Trauma: Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you; it’s about the way those experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether you’re dealing with childhood trauma, abuse, neglect, or more subtle forms of emotional wounding, I use evidence-based therapies that are proven to reduce the emotional intensity of these memories, helping you heal without re-traumatization.

  • Attachment and Relationship Issues: Often, trauma has a profound impact on how we relate to others. If you find yourself struggling with trust, experiencing fear of abandonment, or falling into unhealthy relationship patterns, we’ll explore how your past experiences are influencing your current relationships. We’ll work on breaking these patterns and building healthier, more secure ways of connecting.

  • Anxiety and Emotional Reactivity: If you’re constantly “on edge” or overwhelmed by intense emotions, it’s likely that unresolved trauma is affecting your nervous system. Together, we’ll work on calming your body’s stress response, so you can feel more in control and less reactive to everyday stressors.

  • Building Self-Compassion and Confidence: Trauma can leave you feeling like you’re never “good enough” or undeserving of love and happiness. I’ll help you reconnect with your own inner strengths and develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

My Approach: Compassionate, Client-Centered, and Action-Oriented

I believe that healing happens in a collaborative and compassionate space. My role is to guide and support you—not to judge or push. We’ll go at your pace, with your comfort and well-being at the forefront. I also believe in using a combination of therapies that are tailored to you. This might include traditional talk therapy, somatic (body-based) techniques, or specialized trauma therapies like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories in a relatively short period of time.

But my approach isn’t just about processing the past. It’s also about helping you take concrete steps toward building the future you want. We’ll explore your goals, identify the blocks holding you back, and work through them together—so you can experience real change in your day-to-day life.

Is This You?

If any of this resonates, I encourage you to reach out. I’m here to help you move beyond trauma and into a place of true healing and growth. It’s time to stop being defined by what happened to you and start building the life you deserve. Change is possible—and it starts with a single step.

Are you ready to take that step? Let’s connect and begin your healing journey together.

Does this sound like you/sound familiar?

  • I frequently experience distressing memories or flashbacks of the traumatic event, which can be triggered by everyday situations or seemingly unrelated stimuli.

  • I avoid places, people, or activities that remind me of the trauma, which are limiting my ability to engage in normal daily activities and negatively impact my quality of life

  • I constantly feel on edge, irritable, or easily startled. This heightened state of arousal has led to sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, and heightened stress levels.

How I can help

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers several benefits for individuals suffering from trauma:

  1. Rapid Relief: ART is designed to provide quick relief from trauma symptoms, often in just a few sessions. This rapid approach can be especially beneficial for those seeking fast results.

  2. Non-Invasive: ART does not require clients to discuss their trauma in detail, making it easier for those who find it difficult or re-traumatizing to talk about their experiences.

  3. Reduces Intrusive Memories: ART helps reprogram the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, reducing the intensity and frequency of intrusive memories and flashbacks.

  4. Improves Emotional Regulation: By changing the emotional response to traumatic memories, ART can help clients manage their emotions better, reducing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and hyperarousal.

  5. Enhanced Sense of Control: Clients often feel a greater sense of control over their symptoms and their lives after undergoing ART, which can improve overall well-being and quality of life.

You don’t have to keep living like this…it can get better…I’m here to help…you don’t have to do it alone anymore

FAQs about Trauma Therapy

  • Recognizing trauma can be challenging, but there are several signs that may indicate you have experienced a traumatic event. If you find yourself frequently reliving a distressing experience through flashbacks or nightmares, feeling intense emotional or physical reactions when reminded of the event, or avoiding situations that remind you of it, these could be indicators of trauma. Additionally, if you experience persistent feelings of fear, anxiety, or sadness, have difficulty sleeping or concentrating, or feel detached from others and your surroundings, these are also common symptoms. Trauma can manifest in various ways, and it's important to listen to your body and emotions.

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a structured, directive approach that helps you process and resolve traumatic memories quickly and effectively. During an ART session, you'll work with a trained therapist who will guide you through a series of eye movements while you focus on the distressing memory. This process helps to reprogram how your brain stores the memory, reducing its emotional impact. You don't need to verbalize the details of your trauma; instead, you briefly visualize the memory and then the therapist assists you in replacing distressing images with positive ones. This can lead to a significant reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and flashbacks, often in just a few sessions, allowing you to move forward with a sense of relief and empowerment.
