Trauma Counseling in Twinsburg, Ohio

I provide trauma counseling in Twinsburg, Ohio for adults, college students, and athletes who have been impacted by difficult or overwhelming life experiences. Trauma can affect how you think, feel, relate to others, and experience your body, even long after an event has passed. My practice offers a supportive and compassionate space to process these experiences and begin healing at a pace that feels safe for you.

Trauma counseling is not about reliving the past. It is about building understanding, restoring a sense of control, and helping you feel more grounded and present in your life.

Trauma does not have one single definition. It can result from a single event or from experiences that occur over time. You may benefit from trauma counseling if you are experiencing:

• Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
• Emotional numbness or disconnection
• Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe
• Intrusive thoughts or memories
• Anxiety or depression linked to past experiences
• Physical symptoms such as tension, fatigue, or sleep problems

Many people minimize their experiences or feel unsure whether what they went through “counts” as trauma. Counseling can help clarify these patterns and offer support without judgment.

My approach to trauma counseling is grounded in safety, collaboration, and respect for your individual experience. 

Trauma informed counseling may include:

• Understanding how trauma impacts the nervous system
• Developing grounding and coping strategies
• Increasing emotional awareness and self-compassion
• Gently exploring past experiences when appropriate
• Rebuilding a sense of confidence and empowerment

Trauma counseling is tailored to your needs and readiness. You remain in control of the process.

Trauma can affect people differently depending on life stage and environment. Adults may struggle with the long term effects of childhood or relational trauma. College students may experience trauma related to sudden life changes. Athletes may face trauma related to injury, performance setbacks, or high pressure environments.

Trauma counseling can support healing while helping clients reconnect with their strengths and goals in a meaningful way.

Starting trauma counseling can feel vulnerable. I strive to create a calm, supportive environment where you feel heard and respected. Sessions focus on building trust, understanding your experiences, and helping you develop tools that support long term healing.

Trauma counseling does not require revisiting details before you feel ready. Sessions move at a pace that prioritizes safety and choice.

If past experiences are impacting your present life, support is available. To o schedule an appointment, please reach out today.

I accept insurance and private pay options and am happy to answer questions about getting started.
