Traumatic Experiences
& Relationships
Many of the clients I work with struggle to feel good—whether in their minds, their bodies, or their relationships. Sometimes, this unease stems from difficult life experiences, such as stressful childhoods, complicated family dynamics, or painful relationships. These experiences may leave lasting imprints, shaping how we see ourselves and interact with the world in ways we didn’t choose.
You’ve probably heard the term "trauma" before—it’s widely discussed these days. But rather than focusing on the label, let’s talk about what you might be feeling or experiencing. These are some of the signs that bring people to therapy with me:
—panic attacks, anxiety
—feeling hypervigilant
—general mistrust in others
—nightmares and flashbacks
—feelings of hopelessness
—feeling overwhelmed
—few or no memories of childhood
—feeling you are not enough
—difficulty within relationships
—trouble trusting yourself
—negative, critical thoughts
—insomnia
—chronic pain, headaches, fatigue
—self-destructive behavior (usually to
manage painful feelings)
—lost sense of identity and self
—loss of interest in life and
—trouble finding joy
I can help you through these feelings and struggles.
If any of this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and healing is possible. Together, we’ll explore these experiences with compassion and curiosity, helping you make sense of what you’re feeling and finding ways to feel more connected, safe, and whole.
What Makes Me Different?
When it comes to healing from trauma, finding a therapist who creates a sense of safety, trust, and collaboration is essential. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences impact your present, offering a compassionate and supportive space to work through the effects of difficult relationships or life events.
In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches tailored to fit you. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, helping you process your experiences, build resilience, and reclaim a greater sense of empowerment and well-being. Healing is possible.
