Trauma doesn’t always look how you expect it to. It’s not just about what happened. It’s about how it lives on in your body, your thoughts, your relationships, and your sense of self. You might find yourself constantly on edge, emotionally shut down, or swinging between the two. Maybe you don't trust easily, even when you want to. Maybe you're tired of feeling broken, but scared to look too closely at why.
These are not personal failings. They’re responses to pain that was too much, too soon, or lasted too long. And they make sense. Therapy offers a space to begin untangling that pain with care, with safety, and without rushing.

You may have learned to keep it together. To stay high-functioning, to push through. To not make a fuss. But beneath that strength, there’s often exhaustion. You might be struggling with flashbacks, anxiety, irritability, self-doubt, or shame you can’t quite name. You might not even have words for what happened, only a sense that something isn’t right.
Trauma can stem from one overwhelming event, or from years of subtle but persistent harm. It may be connected to childhood neglect, emotional abuse, betrayal, spiritual harm, or simply never having felt safe to be fully yourself.
When the past still feels present
I am a trauma-trained therapist and EMDR practitioner. In our work together, we’ll go at your pace. You won’t be pressured to tell your story before you’re ready. Instead, we’ll build safety first, both inside the therapy relationship and within your own nervous system.
I draw from EMDR, attachment theory, and trauma-informed care, always with the understanding that healing is not linear. We’ll work to understand how your past experiences are shaping your present, and gently interrupt the patterns that no longer serve you.
Whether you’re navigating complex trauma, developmental trauma, or something you’re still trying to name, therapy can be a place to reclaim your voice, your body, and your sense of wholeness.
How I can help
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. There is life beyond just coping, and you deserve to feel safe in your own skin. Healing from trauma isn’t about forgetting the past. It’s about learning to live from a place that isn’t defined by it.
