You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone

If you’ve been betrayed by someone who was supposed to love you, a parent, partner, or anyone you relied on, you’re not alone. That kind of hurt runs deep. It can shake your sense of safety, self-worth, and ability to trust others and yourself.

I help people heal from interpersonal trauma, especially betrayal trauma, childhood emotional neglect, toxic family systems, and the lingering effects of emotionally immature or narcissistic relationships.

Who I Work With

If any of these feel familiar, you’re in the right place:

• You’re a people pleaser who struggles with boundaries, guilt, or asserting your needs.

• You feel like no one understands who you truly are and that you are fundamentally alone.

• You feel like a burden, wrestle with perfectionism, or struggle with imposter syndrome.

• You’ve experienced betrayal by a partner or family member through abuse, dishonesty, neglect, infidelity, or gaslighting.

• You’re grieving a loss, a relationship, or the life you thought you’d have.

• You’re living with PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety (non-OCD), or depression.

• You’re the family scapegoat, always feeling misunderstood or excluded.

• You’ve gone low-contact or no-contact to protect yourself from emotional harm and may have emotionally immature parents.

• You’re exhausted, anxious, stuck, or burnt out.

• You want to break painful family cycles and create something healthier for yourself and your children.

  If this sounds like you, please know you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey.

I Can Help You With:

Reclaiming Your Peace: Trauma Therapy for Depression & Anxiety

Whether you're battling persistent grief, panic attacks, emotional numbness, or constant self-doubt, we’ll work together to ease your symptoms and help you reconnect with joy, purpose, and hope. Sleep, appetite, focus, and energy often improve as trauma is processed.

Healing Attachment Wounds: Trauma-Informed Individual Therapy & Rebuilding Trust

In individual therapy, we’ll explore how trauma impacts your ability to trust, set healthy boundaries, and connect with safe, supportive people. I’ll help you understand your relational patterns, process what you didn’t receive, and build stronger, more secure connections with yourself and others.

With trauma-informed guidance, you can work toward healing attachment wounds, overcoming past relational pain, and creating a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Finding Your Voice: Empowerment Therapy & Healthy Boundaries

You may have been taught to ignore your needs or fear being “too much.” Therapy is a space to rediscover your voice, rebuild confidence, and honor your limits without shame.

Making Space for Big Emotions: Emotional Regulation in Trauma Therapy

Coping with trauma sometimes means numbing, shutting down, or striving to be invisible. You won’t be judged here; those survival strategies kept you safe. I’ll help you find new ways to navigate emotions, so you don’t feel like you have to shrink to be accepted.

Breaking the Cycle: Generational Trauma & Personal Growth

Many of my clients carry stories of complex trauma, family dysfunction, and cultural and/or systemic oppression. Your resilience matters. Therapy can help you stop surviving and start living with freedom, clarity, and intention.

A Safe Space to Be Seen and Understood
