Healing the past to change your present
Specialized therapy for Complex Trauma (cPTSD) and the invisible wounds of childhood.
In-person therapy in Reno and telehealth throughout California & Nevada
When the past follows you into your living room…
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 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:
Why do I feel so overwhelmed when nothing is wrong?
Why do I completely shut down in arguments?
Does everyone experience anxiety like this?
Why can’t I stop the overthinking?
Why do I keep picking the same partners?
Why is my heart always racing?
My life was ‘fine,’ so why do I feel upset with people all the time?
How does everyone else know what they’re doing?
