Trauma Therapy in Troy, Ohio

Trauma doesn’t just live in the past. It shapes how you see yourself, how you feel in your body, and how you experience relationships in the present.

At Compass Counseling, I help individuals across Troy and Miami County heal the deep wounds left by past experiences. Whether you’re carrying the weight of childhood trauma, relationship wounds, loss, or events that overwhelmed your ability to cope, therapy offers a path toward understanding, healing, and reconnection.

I take a relational, attachment-based approach to trauma therapy. Together, we focus on building a safe, steady relationship where you can explore the events that shaped you — without shame, without rushing. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Therapy into our work — two powerful, evidence-based approaches that help you reconnect to the parts of yourself that have been exiled, overwhelmed, or stuck. (You can learn more about IFS here.)

Healing isn’t about “forgetting” or “getting over it.” It’s about creating a new relationship with your story — one where you can feel grounded, strong, and free to move forward.

Can I Really Get Better?

Absolutely. Trauma healing takes time, patience, and practice — but real change is possible. Therapy at Compass Counseling provides a space where you stay in the driver’s seat, moving at a pace that feels safe and supported. Sometimes you may want to lead the work; other times, you might need me to help guide you through hard moments. Both are welcome here.

Through steady work, compassion, and relational support, you can:

  • Rebuild your sense of dignity and worth

  • Develop healthier emotional patterns

  • Reconnect to your body and inner wisdom

  • Write a new story of strength, resilience, and hope

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.


If you’re ready to begin the work of healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
