HEALING THE WOUNDS YOU LEARNED TO HIDE.
If you learned to stay small, stay quiet, or stay strong for everyone else, healing is about letting you take up space again.
You’re tired of being triggered by things you can’t explain.
Growing up in an environment where you weren’t protected, nurtured, or emotionally seen leaves its mark — not just on your memories, but on your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self.
You may have learned to be hyper-independent… or constantly afraid of being abandoned. You may find yourself shutting down, freezing, people-pleasing, overexplaining, or carrying shame that was never yours.
None of this means you’re broken.
It means you adapted — beautifully — to survive.
But now, those adaptations are getting in the way of the life you want.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
• You know where your trauma came from, but it still lives in your body.
• You keep falling into the same relational patterns, even with all your self-awareness.
• You overthink everything and feel guilty for having needs.
• You’re exhausted from always being “the strong one.”
• You’re triggered by things that logically shouldn’t feel threatening — but they do.
• You feel stuck between wanting closeness and wanting to run.
how i can help
Therapy for complex + childhood trauma can help you finally feel safe in your own mind, body, and relationships.
Complex trauma isn’t about a single event — it’s about the chronic stress of growing up without the emotional safety every child deserves. Because of that, healing requires more than insight. It requires support that reaches the nervous system, helps you rewrite old survival patterns, and gives you a new experience of being understood.
Together, we’ll work on healing the emotional wounds, the body-based responses, and the relational patterns that trauma created. With a combination of EMDR, somatic techniques, and relational repair, I help you untangle what’s yours from what was placed on you — so you can live from authenticity instead of adaptation.
