Do you ever feel like…

  • You keep ending up in familiar relationships, or acting reactively, unwillingly repeating patterns you want to outgrow.

  • You carry a quiet shame that convinces you are somehow unworthy of love or belonging.

  • You struggle to trust yourself, or to feel safe trusting others.

  • You long for closeness but get scared or pull away when it arrives.

  • Other therapies don’t address the depth and complexity of your story.

Trauma isn’t just big things: abuse, accidents, or loss. It’s anything that’s too much, too soon, or for too long.

Trauma can also look like:

  • A parent who expected constant perfection.

  • A parent 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 & dreams ignored.

  • Being told not to feel, or that you feel too much.

  • Gender or sexuality shame.

  • Shame around your worth and values.

How we’ll work together:

  • Listening deeply to your story with empathy, without rushing or judgment.

  • Exploring how trauma shapes your relationships and learning ways to build new, supportive patterns.

  • Integrating body awareness and internal exploration to help you regulate emotions and feel grounded.

  • Supporting your nervous system and creating felt safety inside your body.

  • Cultivating self-compassion, trust, and a sense of authentic belonging.

  • Learning skills to manage triggers, set boundaries, and navigate relationships safely.

  • Understanding how trauma has shaped your patterns, reactions, and sense of self.
