If past experiences, traumatic events, or ongoing stress are affecting your body, emotions, sleep, or relationships, trauma therapy can help you feel safe again and move forward.
Trauma can change how you feel, think, and move through the world. You may notice distressing memories, trouble concentrating, anxiety, irritability, or a sense that your body never fully relaxes. These reactions are common responses to traumatic events, and many people feel this way long after the moment has passed. You don’t have to carry these experiences by yourself. Support from a licensed mental health professional can help you understand what you’re feeling and why it’s happening.
Trauma can come from many experiences, including physical assault, sexual assault, natural disasters, sudden loss, or events that left you feeling unsafe or overwhelmed. Sometimes these events lead to symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, such as intrusive thoughts, fear, negative emotions, or feeling on edge for no clear reason. Trauma affects both your emotional and physical health, and it can influence your relationships, your daily life, and the way you see yourself.
Now & Zen Wellness offers in person trauma therapy for adults in Tampa, Carrollwood, and surrounding Florida communities. I work with trauma survivors experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the lingering effects of distressing experiences.
In trauma therapy, we take things at your pace. We explore what your trauma involves, how it affects your thoughts and body, and what your symptoms are trying to communicate. My approach is grounded in empathy, stability, and evidence-based mental health treatment. Together, we may use talk therapy, grounding techniques, or other supportive tools to help you understand your reactions and regain a sense of safety. You are not expected to relive your trauma—you are supported in healing from it.
Your treatment plan is tailored to your needs. Some people benefit from approaches that help reduce disturbing thoughts, negative emotions, or physical tension. Others find relief through skills that help calm the nervous system, strengthen coping strategies, and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression that often accompany trauma. Therapy can also support mood stabilization, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust in yourself and others.
I offer trauma therapy using evidence based practices grounded in trauma informed care. My approach is person centered, non judgmental, and paced to support your nervous system—not push it. Therapy focuses on helping your brain and body process traumatic experiences safely, build self compassion, and restore a sense of control and well being.
