Trauma-Informed Therapy
Toxic Relationships Don’t Have to Define Your Future
Supporting individuals, couples, and families through trauma, betrayal, and complex relationship challenges.
You’re in the right place if...
You feel stuck in painful patterns you can’t seem to break
One or both of you has experienced trauma, and you're ready to begin healing together as a couple.
You’ve experienced childhood trauma, family conflict, or betrayal
You’re overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or grief
You’re struggling to reconnect with your partner after trust has been broken
You’re ready to stop people-pleasing and start living for yourself
You—or you and your partner—are navigating a major life transition, such as the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, a big move, career changes, or adjusting to an empty nest.
Therapy for Individuals: Reclaim Your Voice
If you often put others' needs ahead of your own, worry more about others’ feelings than your own, or take on people’s problems even when it hurts you, you’re not alone. Many of my clients grew up in families where emotional needs were ignored, or where they were expected to be the caretakers.
As adults, they feel lonely, burned out, and unseen in their relationships. They may shut down emotionally, or stay quiet to keep the peace, never really asking for what they need. They often experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, and C-PTSD.
In therapy, I help you reconnect with your emotions, set healthy boundaries, and build a life that reflects your true values, not someone else’s expectations. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from evidence-based methods to support deep, lasting change. This includes EMDR to help you reprocess traumatic memories, somatic and attachment-based therapies to restore the mind-body connection and emotional safety, and Internal Family Systems to explore and heal wounded inner parts. I also incorporate Gibson’s work on emotionally immature parents to help you navigate complex family dynamics and break generational patterns, as well as tools from CBT and narcissistic abuse recovery for clients working through difficult relationships or ingrained self-doubt.
Couples Therapy for Trauma and Betrayal
Trauma can shake the foundation of a relationship. Whether from infidelity, ongoing conflict, or the impact of an individual trauma on your relationships, it’s easy to feel disconnected, hopeless, or like you’re repeating the same fight over and over. Addressing betrayal and PTSD within couples therapy can be healing and help you reconnect and find the intimacy you are longing for.
Using the Gottman Method for Treating Affairs and Trauma, I help couples process trauma together, rebuild trust, and reconnect emotionally and physically. You’ll learn how to support each other better, feel seen and heard again, and build a relationship that can hold both your pain and your growth.

Hello and Welcome! I’m Tiffany
I know it's difficult to find help. I know you may have tried therapy before only to find that it didn't resolve your problems. I admire your resilience in seeking a therapist. I know it's difficult to trust that you can heal; I believe that you can. I invite you to therapy where we will work to resolve your pain and help you feel safe in therapy, which we will then work to expand to your body, your relationships, your family, your home, and your life.
I value diversity and welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life to therapy as individuals, couples, and families. I believe therapy should be a warm, genuine, accepting space for people to heal and grow.
Whether you're feeling stuck, working to repair or deepen your relationships, trying to regain control of your life, or seeking purpose, I will work with you to help you understand how your past is impacting you, how to navigate your current challenges, and how to build the future you desire.
