Trauma & Complex PTSD Therapy in Minneapolis + St. Paul
You’re sick of feeling like you’re terrible at being human.
Close friendships? A loving relationship? A body that isn’t constantly on fire? Somewhat decent self-esteem? All of these seem like things only others get to experience - not you.
You keep wondering:
Is it me?
Is there something fundamentally wrong with me?
What if the problem isn’t you - but what happened to you?
You try not to think about those memories, that time in your life, but what happened to you as a kid still lingers.
The sickening feeling in your gut when those familiar memories circle back into your vision, into your brain.
The intense, overwhelming sensations in your body that you can’t seem to shake when those memories return.
And this deep feeling that at your core, something is wrong with you.
This is how trauma lives in the body. Not just as memories—but as patterns, sensations, and ways of relating to yourself and others.
Signs you may be dealing with trauma or C-PTSD
Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with PTSD or Complex PTSD.
Maybe you’ve done other types of trauma therapy, like EMDR or IFS.
Maybe you’re not totally sure if the word “trauma” even applies to you, but something keeps drawing you back to this page.
You know you’re ready to start facing how your childhood impacted you, and you need a trauma informed provider who understands how to walk this road with you.
Hi, I’m Sarah!
I am a somatic therapist and trauma specialist based in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN.
I work with adults who are starting to come to terms with their past, and are looking for a therapist who really understands trauma and can support them in building a more loving, compassionate relationship with themselves.
The majority of my clients come to me because they have found more traditional therapy approaches didn’t go deep enough in helping them get to the root of the issues they are facing.
My approach integrates somatic therapy and NARM, two powerful trauma-informed modalities that focus on developing greater body awareness, agency and self-compassion.
I can’t wait to meet you!
The kinds of therapy I use - somatic therapy and NARM - offer you something different - a chance to look at even your most painful patterns and your history with a curious, gentle lens.
To understand how what happened to you impacted your developing sense of self, and your sense of belonging in this world. And to imagine what life could look like with a little more space for your softest, smallest, and most essential parts leading the way.
We will dig into what you’re deeply desiring and look, with compassion and fierceness, at what stands in the way of accessing these things.
I am here for you to stop blaming yourself for the challenges you face in adulthood.
I can help you learn how to have a more gentle, loving relationship with yourself and your inner child.
