Trauma-informed
therapy for adults who grew up emotionally alone
A space where your inner life can be met—seen, understood, and responded to with care.
Many people learn early to manage their inner worlds on their own.
You may be capable, thoughtful, and dependable, yet still feel quietly drained, disconnected, or unsure how to let yourself be supported.
When we grow up without consistent emotional support, our nervous systems adapt to survive. You may remember feeling unseen, emotionally alone, or quietly responsible for others. Over time this can lead to chronic guilt, burnout, difficulty knowing what you want, or a persistent belief that you are “too much” or “not enough.”
Therapy with me begins with being met.
This means I see you. I witness your inner experience, stay with it, hold it with you—without rushing, correcting, dismissing, or translating it into something safer.
Your inner experience is real.
It matters.
You’re not alone in it.
How I Help
At the heart of my work is creating a safe space to slow down, get curious, and make sense of your experience. Together we connect the dots between past and present so your reactions feel less confusing and you have more choice in how you respond.
This healing journey gently uncovers your true self — buried beneath the version you built to stay safe and earn love.
My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and empowering.
You’ve survived by staying strong.
Healing begins when you stop needing to.
My expertise doesn’t come just from my training.
I know how to help because I was you.
I don’t approach therapy from the question, “What’s wrong with you?”
I start with, “What happened—and how did you learn to survive it?”
This is because I have lived it too.
Emotional neglect often leaves no clear memory or story, only an enduring sense of aloneness or self-doubt. You may be highly functional on the outside while feeling disconnected, resentful, guilty, or exhausted on the inside. Therapy helps not because you’re broken, but because the strategies that once kept you safe are now costing you.
My trauma-informed, relational approach focuses on understanding the origins of your patterns with compassion—so change doesn’t feel forced or shaming, but grounded and sustainable.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
— Carl Jung
