Immediate Openings! Therapy for Women Experiencing Relationship Trauma & Abuse: If you’ve experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, or other interpersonal trauma, your body and nervous system may still feel caught in survival mode. You might notice anxiety, hypervigilance, numbness, shame, or a sense of disconnection. I help women with: • Domestic violence, emotional abuse, and coercive control • Sexual assault and unwanted sexual experiences • Trauma bonding, shame, and self-blame. You do not need to have all the words, details, or answers to begin therapy—only a desire for something to feel different.
Many clients feel stuck in fear, numbness, or self-blame long after the trauma has ended. I offer a gentle, paced, trauma-informed approach focused on safety, stabilization, and rebuilding trust, including EMDR (in training). This is a space where you can feel safe.
Taking the first step toward therapy after trauma can bring up fear or uncertainty. You don’t have to have the right words or know what you need yet. You deserve care that honors your boundaries and moves at your pace. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what you’re experiencing and see if working together feels like a good fit.
