Online Trauma Therapy in Orlando and throughout Florida
Trauma isn't defined only by what happened. It's about how an experience overwhelmed your ability to cope and what it left behind in your mind and body. That might look like flashbacks, constant tension, difficulty trusting people, or a sense that you're watching your life from a distance. Whatever it looks like for you, it makes sense, and it can be worked with.
I provide online trauma therapy to adults in Orlando and throughout Florida, drawing on EMDR, IFS, and somatic, polyvagal-informed care. We focus first on safety and stability, then on healing.

Trauma care that fits Central Florida schedules
Orlando is a city of shift workers, students, healthcare staff, and parents juggling a lot at once. Plenty of people living with trauma symptoms put off care because they can't imagine fitting in weekly drives, waiting rooms, and parking on top of everything else. Others try therapy once, end up with someone who isn't trained in trauma, and decide it doesn't work for them.
Trauma-focused therapy is different from general talk therapy. It pays attention to your nervous system, helps you build tools to come back to calm, and uses methods like EMDR to process what's stuck. Online sessions let you do that from home in Kissimmee, Oviedo, or Winter Park, so your energy goes into healing rather than getting there. If a session brings up a lot, you can take a few minutes to rest before stepping back into your day.
Therapy for Orlando residents, from home
If you live in Orlando, you probably plan your week around I-4. A mid-afternoon appointment across town can quietly turn into a two-hour round trip, and that is often the moment people give up on getting help. Online therapy takes the drive out of the equation. You open your laptop at home in College Park, in a parked car outside the office in Lake Nona, or in a quiet room after a closing shift, and we begin.
Orlando runs on hospitality, healthcare, tech, and education, and plenty of those jobs come with rotating schedules, weekend shifts, and very little margin. I see Florida clients by secure video, so where you sit matters less than whether you have privacy and a steady connection.
Finding a therapist who is actually trained in trauma work, rather than one who lists it among twenty specialties, can take real searching in a metro this size. If you have been looking, I am glad you found your way here.

Does this resonate with you?
- 01
Feeling stuck in the past
Do you find yourself replaying painful memories, unable to move forward no matter how much time has passed? Trauma can leave you feeling trapped, but it doesn't have to define your present or future. Together, we can process and release the weight of those memories so you can regain control of your life.
- 02
Overwhelming anxiety and hypervigilance
Do you feel like you're always on edge, waiting for the next bad thing to happen? Trauma can wire your brain to stay in survival mode, leaving you exhausted and unable to relax. Therapy can help calm your nervous system and rebuild a sense of safety in daily life.
- 03
Difficulty trusting others
Are you struggling to let people in, fearing they might hurt or disappoint you? Trauma often teaches us to build walls for protection, but those same walls can keep out genuine connection. Through a trauma-informed approach, we can rebuild trust, starting with yourself.
- 04
Self-doubt and negative beliefs
Do you feel unworthy, broken, or not "good enough"? Trauma can leave a deep imprint on your sense of self. In therapy, we'll challenge and transform these beliefs, helping you reconnect with your inherent worth and strengths.
- 05
Unexplained emotional or physical reactions
Do sudden waves of anger, sadness, or panic seem to come out of nowhere? Does your body feel tense, restless, or heavy without an obvious reason? Trauma often shows up as unresolved emotions or sensations stored in the body. Together, we'll explore these reactions and heal both emotionally and physically.
Healing from trauma is possible, and you deserve a life where you feel safe, connected, and at peace. Let's take that first step together.
How I can help
As a Certified EMDR therapist with ongoing training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) through the trainings of Frank Anderson and Richard Schwartz, I bring a deeply integrative approach. My work weaves together EMDR, IFS, and attachment theory to help you process trauma, connect with your inner parts, and heal attachment wounds.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, combining somatic awareness, guided imagery, and emotional processing to create a safe space for growth. Together, we'll uncover and address the root of your struggles, so you can move toward balance and self-compassion.
A nervous-system-first approach
Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory and somatic therapy, we start by helping your nervous system feel safe enough to do the work. You'll learn practical regulation tools you can use between sessions, and we'll only move into processing when you have the resources to handle it.
My background includes inpatient psychiatric intake, emergency department, and NICU settings, so I understand how acute stress, medical trauma, and crisis can leave a lasting mark, even years later.
- Childhood trauma and emotional neglect
- Relationship and betrayal trauma
- PTSD and complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
- Medical trauma and hospital experiences
- The impacts of abuse, neglect, or significant life events

Trauma Therapy in Orlando: common questions
Have a question that isn't answered here? I'm happy to talk it through in a free consultation.
I don't. My practice is fully online, and every session happens over secure video. That means you can meet with me from anywhere in Orlando or the rest of Florida, as long as you are physically in the state when we meet. Many people find that being in their own space actually makes it easier to settle in and do deeper work.
Yes, if you can find a private spot. A parked car, an empty conference room, or a reserved study room can all work. I ask that you never drive during a session, and that you choose a place where you can speak freely and feel your feelings without worrying about who might overhear. Headphones help a lot.
Central Florida summers bring afternoon thunderstorms almost daily, and hurricane season can disrupt things for longer. If your power or internet goes down, we can try reconnecting over your phone, or simply find another time once you are safe and settled. Because I'm not tied to an Orlando office, a storm on your side doesn't mean losing your therapist.
Trauma therapy focuses on the emotional and physical effects of trauma using specialized approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Unlike traditional talk therapy, it works with the mind-body connection to process trauma on a deeper level.
If you're struggling with anxiety, flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck despite previous therapy, trauma therapy may help you heal and move forward.
No. Sharing your story can be part of the process, but trauma therapy focuses on processing and releasing the effects of trauma without rehashing every painful detail.
I work with adults experiencing a range of trauma, including childhood trauma, relationship trauma, PTSD, medical trauma, and the impacts of neglect, abuse, or significant life events.
Trauma isn't measured by the size of the event but by its impact on you. Ongoing experiences like emotional neglect, criticism, or chronic stress can shape your nervous system as much as a single crisis. If it still affects you, it's worth addressing.
