Virtual trauma therapy for women across utah
You keep telling yourself it wasn’t that bad, and that you should be over it by now. but your body doesn’t feel the same. You’re still on edge, still anxious, and still not yourself.

You skip appointments, change the subject, or avoid certain places or people so you have to feel it.

Life feels hollow, you feel like you’re ‘going through the motions’. You feel foggy, checked out, or distant.
Emotional waves
You snap, cry or panic over small things, then wonder what’s wrong with you.
Trauma looks different for every woman
Trauma isn’t always one big event. For many women it looks like:
❤︎ A birth that didn’t go the way you hoped
❤︎ Sexual assault or unwanted experiences
❤︎ Medical trauma, or being dismissed by providers
❤︎ Relationships that left you feeling unsafe or small
❤︎ Childhood experiences you’re still carrying
You don’t have to keep white-knuckling life. Your body learned to protect you, and with the right support, it can learn that you’re safe now. I help women work through what happened at a pace that feels manageable, so the past stops running the present.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Trauma-informed therapy prioritizes emotional safety over details. We focus heavily on grounding, regulation, and processing at a speed that feels comfortable to you.
-
Trauma isn’t defined by the event itself, but by how your nervous system processed it. If an experience left you feeling helpless, unsafe, or deeply overwhelmed, it is valid and deserving of care.
-
We begin by building stabilization and practical coping strategies before slowly approaching challenging memories, ensuring you always feel in control of the process.
-
I use a lot of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is very similar to EMDR (just proven to be faster and less intense). I also use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to better understand behaviors you learned from trauma.
-
Healing isn't linear, and the timeline varies for everyone. Some clients feel meaningful relief in a few months by learning regulation skills, while others prefer ongoing support for deeper processing. We will continuously evaluate your progress together.
