Specializing in Trauma, Complex Trauma and Interpersonal Trauma

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, complex trauma, and interpersonal trauma. My clients are often deeply insightful, recognizing patterns and struggles in their lives, but they find it challenging to translate that awareness into meaningful change. Many of them feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, codependency, and hyper-vigilance, saying "yes" when they want to say "no" and feeling trapped in their thoughts.
My approach is designed to help you bridge the gap between understanding your trauma and embodying the change you seek. Together, we’ll reconnect you with your true self and create healthier, more authentic relationships.
We Might Be a Good Fit If You…
Have suffered from trauma, complex trauma, and/or interpersonal trauma and are ready to understand and heal its impact on your life.
Possess deep insight into your patterns but struggle to turn that insight into action.
Often find yourself people-pleasing or putting others’ needs above your own at the expense of your well-being.
Experience codependency, taking responsibility for others’ emotions and suppressing your own needs and feelings.
Live in a state of hyper-vigilance, always alert, and finding it difficult to relax or feel safe.
Feel stuck in overthinking or intellectualizing your emotions without finding resolution.
Say "yes" when you want to say "no," complying with others’ expectations even when it goes against your own wishes.
Strive for perfection or overachieve to seek validation, often feeling that you're never doing enough despite your efforts.
Struggle with forming or maintaining healthy connections due to attachment wounds from early life experiences.
Carry a sense of chronic shame or unworthiness, feeling inherently flawed, which prevents you from fully embracing joy or love.
You are physically safe in your current environment as an adult, but still find it difficult to fully experience a sense of safety, security, and joy due to the lingering effects of past trauma.
