Trauma Therapist in South Bend, Indiana
I want to help you feel good and thrive.
LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER, INDIANA · EMRD-TRAINED · IFS LEVEL 3 · CERTIFIED SSP PRACTITIONER · CERFIFIED TRAUMA PROFESSIONAL
Hello, I'm Raizy!
I'm a trauma therapist in South Bend, Indiana, and I work with strong, capable women who are managing life well but have reached a point where something deeper needs attention.
You may look like you have it all together on the outside, yet still carry invisible wounds that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not fully yourself. You may have parts of you that learned to perform, perfect, or please in order to stay safe and parts you've had to push aside just to function, like the overwhelmed part, the angry part, or the one that simply wants to rest.
Old patterns may keep resurfacing, or a part of you knows it's time to stop pushing things aside and tend to what's underneath. That's where our work begins.
"Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."
— Brené Brown
HOW I WORK
My Approach
I use trauma-informed, compassionate methods to help you explore and heal the parts of yourself stuck in old pain or protective roles. Through IFS, EMDR, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, I guide you toward healing that happens not just in your mind, but in your body and nervous system.
What It's Like to Work With Me
Clients often tell me they feel safe, deeply understood, and finally able to name things they've carried for years. Therapy with me is structured and intentional, but never rigid. I'll never push you before you're ready, but I'll help you go deeper when you are.
Beyond the Therapy Room
When I'm not seeing clients, I'm usually with my husband and kids. I enjoy spending time outside and quiet moments with a good book. A big part of this work is helping you slow down, tune in, and make space for what matters.
MY BACKGROUND
Looking beneath the surface, not just the symptoms.
Before starting my private practice, I worked at a community mental health center, supporting adults facing complex trauma, depression, and anxiety. That experience deepened my understanding of how layered and connected our emotional struggles can be.
I’ve seen that change happens when we look beneath the surface, at the root of what's going on, not just the symptoms. This is how I practice and support my clients.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Reprocess painful memories so they don’t feel as triggering, often faster than traditional talk therapy.
IFS
Internal Family Systems
Understand and heal the different parts of you, your protectors, and your younger parts.
SSP
The Safe and Sound Protocol
A research-based, non-invasive listening therapy that gently calms your nervous system.
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. I draw on EMDR, IFS, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, used individually or woven together, to support deeper healing. Together, we'll figure out what's right for you and your nervous system.
