Do you ever wonder why you can't "let it go"? Do you wrestle with feelings of resentment, confusion and guilt about a past or current relationship? When you see someone or something that reminds you of the past, do you instantly become fearful, furious, nauseated, or even disoriented? Are there everyday experiences (like going to the doctor) that bring intense fear? Have you kept all this to yourself due to embarrassment? Are you a Christian who worries that your symptoms might be a sign of lack of faith?

I’m a trauma-informed therapist whose work centers on the connection between unresolved complex trauma and the maladaptive coping behaviors that often lead to functional impairment in adulthood. Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite name—cycles of addiction, emotional shutdown, chronic self-doubt, or relational conflict that seem to repeat despite their best efforts. Beneath these behaviors, there’s often a history of trauma that hasn’t been fully processed, and a nervous system that’s learned to survive rather than thrive.
