Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? I am a psychotherapist specializing in trauma-focused treatments for children, adults, and couples. I believe that most people who walk into the therapist's office have difficulties that are rooted in trauma. Most traumatic experiences happen in the context of a relationship and can also be healed in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship.
Our trauma often plays out in our life through struggles with substance abuse or self-harm as a way to cope with intolerable feelings; difficulty in intimate relationships; persistent self doubt; or overwhelming somatic feelings. When we heal our traumatic wounds, we begin to experience our self and the world in a different way.
I am a certified couples therapist. Couples that have early childhood trauma sometimes 'reenact' their lived experiences and unprocessed feelings in the dynamic. Fears of abandonment and the common push-pull dance are ways these early wounds play out in relationships. I can help you sort through these complex dynamics with a trauma informed approach.
