Trauma Therapy | Lutry, Switzerland

Find Your Voice, Power, and Whole Self

You’ve been carrying so much—

Memories that surface unexpectedly, emotions too heavy to hold, or a numbness that seems to take over.

You may feel like you don’t deserve the love and care you so freely give to others. Over time, you’ve learned to make yourself small and agreeable to keep the peace, yet it’s left you feeling invisible, exhausted, and disconnected.

Trusting others—or even yourself—feels difficult. You find yourself searching outside for answers, approval, or worth, stuck in survival mode: moving, but not truly living.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. Trauma fragments life, creating distance from yourself and the world. But healing is possible. In trauma therapy, we’ll take small, steady steps toward reconnection, growth, and reclaiming the life you deserve.

What is Trauma?

Trauma isn’t just the difficult experiences you’ve been through—it’s how those experiences continue to shape how you see yourself, others, and the world.

For many, trauma creates patterns of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. These patterns may have helped you survive at one point, but now they leave you feeling stuck, depleted, and unsure of who you are.

Whether it stems from a single event, repeated stress, or feeling unseen and unsafe over time, trauma often teaches us to prioritize fixing things outside ourselves instead of tending to the pain within. But healing is about learning to shift that focus inward.

In trauma therapy, we’ll work together to gently unpack how trauma has impacted you—not to relive the pain, but to understand it and help you reclaim your life.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help

Healing from trauma is about rediscovering the parts of yourself you’ve had to suppress, like your voice, needs, and desires. Together, we’ll untangle survival patterns—like self-abandonment or people-pleasing—so you can start showing yourself the care you give to others.

Trauma often leaves us feeling powerless, but therapy can help you reclaim your voice and sense of self. We’ll explore how your experiences have shaped you, at your own pace, and consider the deeper questions: Who am I now? How do I rebuild? What truly matters?

By reconnecting with your values and purpose, you can move toward a life that feels grounded, free, and authentically yours. Along the way, I’ll provide tools to manage stress, triggers, and overwhelm, helping you regain a sense of control.

My approach is

Trauma-Informed

I recognize the ways trauma can affect every part of your life, and I’ll meet you where you are with care and understanding. I’ll equip you with strategies to help manage emotions that arise during the process and we’ll always go at your speed. 

Existential

We’ll explore the deeper questions about your sense of purpose, identity, safety, and connection.

Collaborative

You are the expert in your own story. I’ll walk alongside you, offering tools, guidance, and support as we uncover what healing looks like for you.

Body-Aware

Trauma is stored in the body as well as the mind. We’ll incorporate techniques to help you feel grounded and safe in your body again.

Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.”

What We’ll Work On Together

Trauma therapy isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about learning to live fully in the present. Together, we’ll work on:

  • Gently processing the emotions tied to your experiences in a way that feels manageable.

  • Reconnecting with your values and giving yourself permission to prioritize them.

  • Challenging the patterns of thought and behavior—like people-pleasing and self-abandonment—that keep you stuck.

  • Building relationships and boundaries that honor your needs and protect your energy.

  • Cultivating self-compassion and a sense of safety in your body.

“Trauma teaches you to close up your heart and armor up. Healing teaches you to open your heart and boundary up.”

- Unknown

Healing is Possible

Imagine waking up one day and realizing the constant pressure to be everything for everyone else has eased. The weight of the past no longer controls your every step. You feel lighter, freer, and more connected to yourself and the people who truly matter.

This is what healing can look like. It’s a gradual process of learning to trust yourself, reclaim your story, and prioritize your needs. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with time and care, it is possible.

What Trauma Therapy Looks Like

Healing from trauma isn’t about doing it perfectly—it’s about showing up for yourself, even when it’s hard. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space for that.

Here’s how we’ll work together:

1. Start with a Conversation

Our first step is a free 25-minute consultation. This is a chance for us to discuss what you’re looking for in trauma therapy, I’ll answer your questions about my practice, and we can see if we’re a good fit.

2. Explore Your Story

In our sessions, you’ll have the space to share at your own pace. We’ll look at how your experiences have shaped your emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

3. Find Relief

We’ll work through the pain together, gently and with care so that it no longer controls your present.

4. Cultivate Trust

Through compassionate exploration, I’ll help you challenge the beliefs trauma may have created, making room for self-kindness and growth.

5. Build Resilience

You’ll learn practical tools for managing stress, calming your emotions, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming.

6. Create Your Future

As you heal, we’ll shift toward building a life that reflects who you are and what you value most.

You Deserve to Feel Safe, Whole, and Connected

Therapy is a space to work towards that, one step at a time. And, if you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you.
