Do you keep getting hurt in relationships? Do you spiral into anxiety, self-blame, or numb detachment? If you grew up with childhood trauma, abuse, emotional neglect, or family dysfunction, you may over-function, shut down, ignore red flags, or feel unsure of what love really is. These survival strategies helped you cope but now keep you stuck. Together we'll uncover how early experiences shaped your self-worth and relationships, and begin to shift them. We’ll work to break painful patterns so you can feel more grounded, connected, and whole. You're not broken; you're injured. And with the right therapy, your injuries can heal.
Clients come to me seeking someone who understands complex trauma and family dysfunction on a deeper level, because therapy should feel safe and validating. We’ll explore how past experiences still affect you- without reliving them. Together, we’ll move at your pace to help you heal, connect, and feel safe in your relationships and in your body.
I specialize in complex developmental trauma, C-PTSD, childhood emotional neglect, and dissociation. With nearly 20 years of experience, I offer relational, attachment-based, and neurobiological therapy for adults from dysfunctional families. I work long term via telehealth and maintain a small caseload for focused, in-depth work. Book a free consult today.

Groups
Online Support Group for Therapists
Ready to move beyond isolation and burnout? This group can help you connect with what's most authentically true to you so that you can find a meaningful path forward that fuels and sustains you. It's a safe, secure space to grow professionally and personally, seek and provide support, exchange ideas, and discuss challenges unique to being a therapist. It's a growth enhancing experience. It’s not therapy, yet it’s highly therapeutic. It's experiential in nature and offers opportunities for personal and professional growth, consultation, and a sense of community. Contact me for fees and scheduling.
