Trauma Therapy in Draper, Utah
You deserve to feel safe in your own life again.
Maybe you’ve been told to “just move on” from painful memories—but trauma doesn’t work that way. It can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even physically exhausted, like you’re carrying a weight you can’t put down.
At Empowered Mind Therapy, I offer trauma therapy in Draper, Utah because I get it. I’m here to help you process the past—not just “get over it”—so you can finally breathe freely, sleep deeply, and reclaim joy in your daily life.
How Trauma Shows Up in Your Life
You might:
Feel constantly on edge, even when there’s no danger.
Avoid places, people, or memories that remind you of the pain.
Struggle with guilt, shame, or feeling “broken.”
Notice unexplained aches, fatigue, or panic attacks.
You’re not “crazy.” Trauma rewires the brain and body—but with the right support, healing is possible.
Effective Therapy Approaches for Trauma Healing
I blend proven therapies with genuine care to help you heal at your pace.
Somatic Therapy: Release What Your Body Has Held
Trauma isn’t just “in your head.” It lives in tension, a racing heart, or that pit in your stomach. Somatic therapy helps you:
Safely reconnect with your body through breathwork and mindfulness.
Release stored stress and emotions.
Feel grounded and present again.
EMDR: Reprocess Painful Memories Without Reliving Them
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gold-standard treatment for PTSD and trauma. Using guided eye movements or gentle tapping, we’ll help your brain:
Diminish the intensity of traumatic memories.
Shift from “I’m still in danger” to “That’s over, and I’m safe now

I provide a safe environment for you to discuss your trauma. I use effective methods to help you heal, with EMDR being the most common. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a well-known technique for trauma recovery. It involves focusing on a traumatic memory and its negative beliefs while receiving bilateral stimulation (I use tappers) to help your brain process the trauma more easily and quickly.
