Do you carry the lingering impact of trauma—whether from a single overwhelming event such as an accident, loss, or medical emergency, or from ongoing patterns like childhood neglect or painful attachment experiences? Trauma can live in both body and mind, showing up as anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, chronic pain, or disconnection from yourself. Emotional neglect is one of the most invisible yet powerful forms of trauma, often leaving you unsure of your worth or needs. In therapy, we can gently explore these experiences and begin creating a sense of safety, healing, and reconnection.
No matter what type of trauma you’ve experienced, healing is possible. I’ll meet you exactly where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. Using EMDR, IFS, a somatic approach, & inner child work, I create a personalized recovery plan for your unique needs. Together, we’ll work to restore a sense of safety, emotional regulation, and connection.
Clients often share that they feel deeply seen, supported, and empowered in our work. My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving—with greater peace, clarity, and self-trust. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
