Therapy for when life hurts & you want to truly heal.
Have you been through something that
overwhelmed you to your core?
And now you…
- Are afraid to talk about how you feel because it might bring up more than you can handle.
- Feel emotionally disconnected or have difficulty feeling positive emotions.
- Avoid people, places, or activities that remind you of the trauma.
- Get flashbacks of painful memories and it feels like it’s happening all over again.
- Are constantly feeling on edge, tense, nervous, or jumpy.
Or have you experienced lots of “little things” that when added up altogether changed you and turned your world upside down?
Or maybe you don’t feel like you’ve experienced “Trauma”
Get relief from your pain,
rediscover who you are & reclaim a life that you love.
But something in life doesn’t feel right.
The hardest part is that you can’t quite figure out when you started to feel this way – or if it’s always been like this.

Does this Sound like you?
It’s so hard to deal with the feelings of being:
Minimized | Ignored | Overlooked
by the people in your life.
You feel like the conversation becomes about everyone else and no one really sees or understands you.
You truly want to be seen and heard,
but it feels scary for some reason.
You want to be able to stay true to yourself and actually say what you think and feel. | You don’t want to lie or hide your feelings, but
Something inside you just automatically kicks on and you’re…
- Trying to please the other person or keep them happy.
- Only speaking up if you agree or have something positive to say.
- Making yourself small or invisible.
- Avoiding any arguments or conflict.
- Feeling really afraid if any disagreements happen in a group.
It feels hard to express your opinions not knowing how other people will react.
The idea of a confrontation makes your heart jump out of your body or feel nauseous.
Get relief from your pain,
rediscover who you are & reclaim a life that you love.
Sometimes you want to stand up for yourself,
but when you get the courage to try, the person doesn’t listen.
Maybe you’ve thought, “What’s the point in even trying to reason with this person?” and you decide that the easiest thing to do is just go along with it. You swallow back your true feelings and stay silent. But then you’re left holding so much frustration and hopelessness inside.
You might have a sense that some of this is related to trauma in your past. Maybe family members or partners treated you poorly and even though things are different now, there’s still a part of you that feels afraid.
You don’t have to live for everyone else.
It’s time for you to feel
seen | heard | supported
Trauma therapy can help us get to the root of the issue and learn where this pattern of putting others first started. We can process the belief that conflict is dangerous and help you to feel safer and more comfortable expressing yourself – what you need, what you like, and what you want in life.
It may seem impossible now, but we can help you recover from the people pleasing and perfectionism that’s kept you scared, small, and suffering in silence.
Together we can help you get relief from feelings of fear.
You can live with more courage and confidence to create a life that you truly love. And you can have deeper connections than ever before.

FAQs
about Trauma therapy
I’m happy to talk with you about each therapy that I offer and help you decide what you prefer or what is best suited to your specific situation.
The goal of trauma therapy is to reduce negative symptoms related to a traumatic experience. Some clients may notice an increase of emotions at the start of the process. This is normal and temporary. During our work together, I can prepare you for this and help you feel confident in your ability to handle any difficult emotions that may arise during the course of therapy.
Trauma therapy looks different for everyone. Some people see results very quickly while others take more time. I will support you to process your trauma at the speed and pace that is right for you.
Trauma when a stressful, upsetting, or frightening experience overwhelms your ability to cope. It can be a single event (like a car accident) or it can be many events that occurred throughout your life (for example, being beaten or physically abused by your caregiver). Everyone’s ability to cope is different, so trauma looks different for every person. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, powerless, or out of control - then you’ve experienced trauma.
