How Trauma Shows Up
Do any of these feel familiar to you?
Feeling Disconnected from Your Emotions: It might feel hard to connect with your feelings, or you might find yourself swinging between emotional numbness and overwhelm.
Struggling with Your Body: You may feel uncomfortable or disconnected from your body, carrying shame or self-criticism about how you look or feel in your skin.
Feeling unable to relax when things go well. You may feel like any time of calm or good fortune, will be proceeded by something negative happening.
Moments of Detachment: At times, it might feel like you’re “checked out” or disconnected from reality, especially when life feels overwhelming.
Feeling Stuck in Emotional Patterns: You might notice cycles where you shut down and withdraw, or react with anger when your emotions or nervous system feel too intense.
Internal Noise and Conflict: There might be parts of you that feel at odds all the time—constantly pushing and pulling, making it hard to find peace within yourself.
Worrying About Resources: You may feel anxious about money, unsure if you’re making the “right” choices, or even carrying shame around how you’ve handled finances in the past.
Struggles in Relationships: You may have difficulty getting your needs met in relationships, feeling unsure how to express them, or even finding it hard to enter into relationships at all.
Preoccupation with the Past: You may find yourself stuck replaying memories, unable to move forward, or noticing lapses in memory that make it hard to trust your recollections or experiences.
Feeling Different from Your Peers: Growing up, you may have had a deep, shameful knowing that your family life was very different from others—making you feel isolated or out of place.
Using Coping Mechanisms: You might turn to shopping, alcohol, or other substances as a way to numb the pain, distract yourself, or manage overwhelming feelings.
Finding It Hard to Trust Yourself: It could feel difficult to rely on your own instincts or decisions, especially if you’ve been through periods of instability or didn’t have examples of healthy coping growing up.
Carrying Old Wounds: Experiences of early loss, family dysfunction, or feeling neglected by a parent may leave you with lingering sadness, frustration, or a sense of not being enough.
Feeling Undeserving: You might struggle with asking for or accepting love, care, or emotional space, wondering if you’re worthy of those things.
A Sense of Hopelessness: Sometimes it might feel like the world is bleak, or you catch yourself questioning, “What’s the point?” during tough moments.
If these experiences resonate with you, you’re not alone. These feelings don’t define who you are—and with the right support, it’s possible to quiet the noise, rebuild trust in yourself, and find a sense of connection, balance, and peace.
You don’t have to navigate the weight of shame, disconnection, or past pain alone. Together, we’ll explore compassionate ways to reconnect with your body, understand your emotions, and create the balance and self-trust you deserve.
How therapy works
You’re Strong, But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
You’re the person everyone counts on. The best friend. The trusted confidante. The one who holds it together, even when life feels like it’s pulling you in every direction. On the outside, you’re confident, capable, and sharp—but inside, it’s not always so simple.
Maybe you’ve started to feel the weight of it all. Those moments when anger bubbles up unexpectedly, or when a night out leaves you regretting the way you lashed out. Maybe you’re questioning the relationship you’re in, wondering if it’s truly the connection you deserve. Or maybe it’s that nagging sense that something’s missing, even as you work harder and dream bigger.
What If You Could Let Go—Just a Little?
Therapy can be the space where you finally get to put the weight down. A space where you don’t have to be the one in control, where your anger, your sadness, and even the parts of yourself you don’t show anyone else are welcome. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you feeling stuck—like why it’s so hard to trust others or ask for help.
We’ll look at the anger that shows up when you’ve been pushing too hard for too long and uncover what it’s really trying to tell you. (It’s not just about being mad—it’s about what you need and deserve.)
This Is About More Than Just Learning Coping Skills
You’re not here just to “manage.” You’re here to thrive. Therapy isn’t about making you less strong—it’s about helping you feel supported enough to be your whole self. To reconnect with your dreams and step into relationships, work, and a life that truly honors all of you—the leader, the dreamer, and yes, even the parts that feel messy.
You’ve already proven you can do life on your own. But what if you didn’t have to?
Heal the Hidden Wounds: Therapy for Emotional Trauma
You’ve carried yourself through so much. You’re strong, independent, and the one people turn to when they need guidance or support. But even the strongest people have stories they don’t often tell—stories of neglect, moments of pain, or the deep exhaustion that comes from always being the one in control.
Maybe you’re starting to notice the impact of it all. The anger that shows up unexpectedly. The sense that, no matter how much you achieve, something feels off. Or maybe it’s the growing feeling that your relationships—or even your job—don’t really reflect the person you want to be.
If this resonates, it’s not just you. These are the echoes of trauma, shaping how you move through the world and how you protect yourself—sometimes at the cost of what you truly need.
Why You Feel This Way
When you’ve been neglected, ignored, or unsupported, it’s natural to build walls—to rely on yourself, because it’s safer than trusting anyone else. Over time, this independence becomes your strength, but it also becomes your armor, keeping you disconnected from the deeper relationships and peace you long for.
Unresolved trauma doesn’t just live in your mind. It’s in your body too—in the tightness in your chest, the way you brace yourself when things go wrong, and even in the moments when your emotions feel bigger than you can control.
How Therapy Can Help You Heal
In therapy, we’ll work together to understand your story—not just where you’ve been, but how it’s showing up in your life today. I will take the time to really listen to what's in your and how you carry it. Using evidence-based approaches like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Parts Work, and Psychodynamic Therapy, we’ll create a path to healing that’s tailored to you. I am not wedded to any particular way of approaching symptoms or a problem. We problem-solve and use what works.
Reconnect With Your Body (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy): Trauma lives in your body, not just your mind. Through gentle, body-based techniques, we’ll explore the physical responses tied to your emotions—like that tightness in your chest or the tension in your jaw. This work helps you feel more grounded, so you can release the stress and pain you’ve been holding onto.
Understand Your Inner World (Parts Work): You may feel like different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions—the part that wants to stay in control, the part that’s angry, the part that longs for connection but pushes people away. Parts Work helps you understand these sides of yourself and bring them into harmony, so you can act from a place of wholeness instead of conflict.
Uncover the Patterns (Psychodynamic Therapy): Many of your patterns—like the need to be in control, or the anger that flares up unexpectedly—are rooted in early experiences of neglect or unmet needs. Psychodynamic therapy helps us explore these patterns and release the hold they have on your present, so you can create new, healthier ways of being.
It’s Time to Put the Weight Down
You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. Therapy can be a space where you feel supported, seen, and safe to explore what’s beneath the surface—without fear of judgment. You’ve already proven you can do life on your own, but healing isn’t about proving anything. It’s about reclaiming your sense of ease, connection, and the ability to truly thrive.
When you’re ready, I’m here to help. Let’s start this journey together.

Yes. Depending on the availablity, need and desire I see some clients more than once a week. Sometimes, it is more appropriate to schedule 90 minute sessions if we are planning on doing deeper work that requires more time. It is important that after a therapy session you leave feeling resourced and "put back together.”
-
I invite you to reach out and set up an free 20 minute introductory call. During this time I will ask you basic questions surrounding what is currently bringing you to therapy, along with discussing scheduling issues and the financial cost of therapy. If it feels like we night be a good we will go ahead and schedule an initial consulation.
