You’ve done therapy before and unpacked your story, but certain patterns still hold you back. You're stuck in old survival strategies: people-pleasing, self-criticism, over-functioning, isolation, and numbing out, among others. You long to feel purposeful, confident, or simply “okay,” but life’s experiences have resulted in you feeling dysregulated, disconnected, and ashamed. You’re not looking for quick tools or shallow fixes. You want real, lasting change. You’re ready to face what’s been buried and reconnect with the version of yourself that was never broken—just deeply protected from the devastation of complex trauma.
I work with clients healing from Complex PTSD using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and a culturally responsive lens. Together, we’ll meet the parts that work to keep you safe, tend to old pain with care, and use gentle mindfulness and body-based practices to steady your nervous system and move you toward greater capacity and wholeness.
If you’re ready for transformative work—not bypassing or "fixing", but truly turning toward your inner world—I’d be honored to walk with you. My clients are self-aware, experienced with therapy, and seeking a space to go deeper. Healing is possible, even if it's slow. Let’s begin wherever you are, and then get you back in touch with who you've always been.

Complex PTSD is commonly associated with childhood abuse. It can also occur when a caregiver is unavailable due to emotional immaturity, generational trauma, physical or mental illness, poverty, separation, etc. CPTSD can stem from bullying, cults, discrimination, long-term illness, intimate partner violence, isolation, or any repetitive and inescapable overwhelm.
