Surviving childhood abuse, cult involvement, or sexual trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, stuck in old survival patterns, or carrying a sense of shame that doesn’t belong to you. Our team work with clients, like you, who’ve endured deep wounds and help to uncover the root causes of your pain and create lasting change. Using approaches like EMDR, Ketamine, and IFS, we help you move through what once felt unbearable with compassion and steadiness, so you can reclaim yourSELF, your sense of safety, and your right to take up space in the world.

Developmental trauma often show up as anxiety, relationship struggles, self-doubt, or feeling like you’re always bracing for impact. I specialize in guiding survivors through those patterns with tools that go beyond talk therapy. Our work isn’t about “fixing” you, instead we focus on connecting with the parts of you that learned to survive.

Trauma can make it feel like the past controls your life. The weight of childhood abuse is insurmountable and it can feel like you'll never break free. We help survivors find who they were always meant to be...but that the trauma took. We will help you get to the root of your pain, not just manage symptoms. Why? Because YOU deserve to heal.

A typical session focuses on untangling how these experiences affect your day-to-day life, building clarity, safety, and self-trust, and learning to respond rather than react to old patterns. Many clients notice greater confidence, calmer emotional responses, and a stronger sense of who they are as they move through therapy.
