Healing Trauma: Rewrite Your Story
From shame and self-judgment to acceptance and resilience.
In-person therapy in Reno and telehealth throughout California & Nevada
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.
“It’s a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found.”
