You deserve to thrive, not just survive.
Personalized therapy to help you cope with trauma, PTSD, and CPTSD.
Trauma doesn’t always look like what you think.
It can show up as exhaustion you can’t shake, a constant sense of tension, or staying in relationships that drain you—because change feels terrifying. Maybe you cry without knowing why, or the doctor says everything looks fine, but deep down, you know something isn’t.
It seeps into your work, your focus, your connections—making it hard to feel present, engaged, or like yourself.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably tired of just surviving.
You know there has to be more than just getting by.
When trauma responses take over, even in safe moments, it can feel impossible to fully live the life you want.
Trauma responses, shaped by past experiences, can feel overwhelming—but with the right support, you can begin to reclaim a sense of safety and peace in the present.
Healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about breaking free from survival patterns that once protected you but now keep you stuck. With the guidance of a compassionate therapist, you can learn to reduce the intensity of these responses, expand your ability to handle life’s stressors, and reconnect with a sense of grounding and inner strength.
Challenges won’t disappear, but they won’t define you. Healing allows you to move through life with greater balance, resilience, and the freedom to truly live.
MY APPROACH
Your brain and body have been doing their best to protect you.
When it comes to working through trauma, we don’t dive into painful experiences headfirst. Instead, we’ll start by cultivating a deep sense of safety and connection. This strong foundation includes: ensuring you feel at ease sharing your story to the extent you're comfortable, helping you understand how trauma affects the brain and body, and exploring tools like mindfulness, DBT, and EMDR to support regulation. Before anything else, we establish a space where you feel safe enough to do the deeper work.
When it’s time to process, we go at your pace.
When it’s time to process your experiences, we will go at your own pace. Some people come in with a clear traumatic memory, while others feel stuck, afraid, or uncertain. Healing is possible for everyone. We can use different methods, like EMDR, DBT, or trauma-informed therapy, depending on what feels right for you. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all way to heal, so we will try different approaches, such as talking, movement, art, or others.
As we work together, we will move from focusing on the past to bringing healing into your everyday life. This includes building your sense of self, setting meaningful goals, and finding more ease in the present. Trauma work takes time, and healing is not always a straight path. However, that doesn’t mean you are stuck forever. Wherever you are in the process, and whatever you bring to therapy, we will move forward together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
