​Supporting you through what’s been, what is, and what’s still felt.
​

Everyone’s experience of trauma is unique. You may be living with the weight of a painful past, struggling with current distress, or trying to understand why certain patterns in relationships keep repeating. Trauma can show up in many ways — anxiety, shame, disconnection, emotional numbing, or feeling constantly on edge — and sometimes, it can be difficult to connect the dots.

I work with care, sensitivity, and a deep respect for your pace. As a trauma-informed therapist, I offer a space that is safe, steady, and collaborative — where you are never pushed to go where you’re not ready.

What Do We Mean By “Trauma”?

​​Trauma isn't always about one single event. It can arise from:

​

  • Ongoing emotional neglect or abuse

  • Childhood experiences that left you feeling unseen or unsafe

  • Loss, abandonment, or bullying

  • Difficult family or relational dynamics

  • Living through distressing events, accidents, or violence

  • Systemic or identity-based oppression

​​

Relational trauma, especially, can leave a lasting impact on how we see ourselves and how safe we feel with others. Therapy can help rebuild a sense of trust — with yourself, and over time, with the world around you.

 

A Trauma-Informed Approach

​
​My way of working draws on trauma-sensitive practices that help create emotional safety and allow space for your experience without shame or pressure.
​
I focus on:
​
  • Choice and control – You set the pace, and I will always check in with you
  • Body awareness – Gently noticing how trauma might live in the body, and finding ways to ground and regulate
  • Understanding the nervous system – Learning how fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses show up and how to gently work with them
  • Compassionate curiosity – Together, we explore the past only when and if it feels useful and supportive
  • Relational repair – Especially important if past experiences left you feeling unsafe, unheard, or unimportant in relationships
​​
I offer a steady presence, not to "fix" you, but to sit alongside you, help you make sense of what’s felt confusing, and support your healing process in a way that feels respectful and empowering.
​

Common Themes I Work With

​

  • Emotional flashbacks
  • Childhood neglect and complex trauma 
  • Relationship patterns rooted in early attachment wounds
  • Relationship issues with parents, partners or workplace
  • Shame, self-criticism, and identity confusion
  • Disconnection from the body or emotions
  • Hypervigilance, fear of abandonment, or people-pleasing

​​

You’re Not Broken — You’re Surviving

​

If you’ve been through trauma, especially relational trauma, you may carry a sense that something is wrong with you. But what I know from years of working with people is this: you adapted. You learned to survive. Now, therapy can help you find new ways to live — not just survive.
