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, your self-worth, and your 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

I can help you with: 

Reclaiming Your Peace: 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: Relationships & Trust
We’ll explore how trauma affects your ability to trust, set boundaries, or choose safe people. I’ll help you understand relational patterns, grieve what you didn’t get, and build more secure, satisfying connections moving forward.

Finding Your Voice: Empowerment & 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 learn to honor your limits without shame.

Making Space for Big Emotions
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 your emotions, so you don’t feel like you have to shrink to be accepted.

Breaking the Cycle: Trauma & 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.

How We’ll Work Together

I use a variety of trauma-informed, research-backed therapy approaches to support your healing. Together, we’ll find what fits you best:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – Reprocessing trauma to restore emotional balance

• Trauma & Somatic Therapy – Addressing the mind-body connection in trauma recovery

• Gibson’s Therapy for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents – Navigating complex family dynamics

• Attachment-Based & Emotion-Focused Therapy – Healing deep relational wounds

• Internal Family Systems & Family Systems Therapy – Understanding and healing inner and family conflicts

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying and reshaping harmful thought patterns

• Narcissistic Abuse Recovery – Finding peace and safety when living through or recovering from toxic dynamics

A Safe Space to Be Seen and Understood

I know it can be hard to reach out, especially if you’ve had therapy before and felt dismissed or misunderstood. I take your trust seriously and strive to create a warm, compassionate space where you feel safe, respected, and truly seen.

Together, we’ll create a customized plan grounded in trauma-informed, research-backed methods. You’ll get practical strategies, and the emotional support to help you heal, grow, and move forward with purpose.
