Healing the past to change your present
Specialized therapy for Childhood Trauma, Complex PTSD, and attachment wounds.
In-person therapy in Reno and telehealth throughout California & Nevada
Trauma isn’t just big things: abuse, accidents, or loss. It’s any experience that was too much, too soon, or for too long. It can look like:
A parent who expected constant perfection.
A family who couldn’t see, hear, or validate you.
Being blamed for things beyond your control.
Growing up around anger, criticism, or rejection.
Having your needs & inner world ignored.
Being told not to feel, or that you feel too much.
Feeling frequently out of body or numb in your early life.
Gender or sexuality shame.
Shame around your worth and values.
“It’s a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found.”
— D.W. WinnicottHave you ever wondered:
What’s wrong with me?
Why do I feel so overwhelmed when nothing is wrong?
Why do I completely shut down in arguments?
Why do I feel broken?
Why am I always on edge?
Why do I always feel like I’m wrong or bad?
Why do I feel like different people?
How Therapy Works
01
Understanding the Roots
We look at your family & attachment history to build a deeper insight.
02
Building Safety
Using somatic techniques, we release the stress cycles stored in your body.

Awareness creates choice. And choice creates change.
