Introduction

Childhood trauma can shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe you feel in the world as an adult. You might find yourself shutting down during conflict, overthinking everything, struggling to trust, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.” You may notice its impact showing up as anxiety, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, distrust, or repeating painful patterns in relationships. Whether you are seeking support as an individual or as a couple, therapy offers a space to better understand these patterns and begin creating change. In therapy, we create space for you to slow down, feel more grounded, and better understand why you react the way you do. Together, we work on building emotional safety, stronger communication, and healthier ways of coping so you can feel more connected to yourself and to the people you love. Healing doesn’t mean erasing the past; it means learning how to live with more peace, clarity, and confidence in the present.
