Many people living with childhood trauma or C-PTSD feel like they’re “too sensitive” or “too much.” The truth is, your nervous system learned to survive, and it can learn something new. You’re someone who seems capable and dependable, yet still find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, and feeling emotionally exhausted from managing others’ expectations. You may feel disconnected from yourself or stuck in familiar patterns, even when you want things to change. You’re ready to build healthier boundaries, trust yourself, and feel more secure and authentic in your relationships. I want to help you get there.
I specialize in working with childhood trauma and individuals with attachment wounds. Clients come to me seeking a therapist who is direct, attuned, and trauma-informed, because therapy should feel safe and validating. Sessions are collaborative, structured, and insight-oriented.
I’ll meet you where you are and offer support to build secure attachment, emotional regulation, and healthier boundaries. A life where you feel connected and confident is possible. You don’t have to keep people-pleasing or doing it alone. I'm here to help you process through your trauma. Call today for a free 15-minute consult.
