Complex and Relational Trauma
No relationship is perfect…
But when you’ve been regularly exposed to overwhelm, neglect, or abuse within the connections you rely on for care and support, you’ve survived conditions far beyond “normal” imperfections.
In result, you live in a chronic state of insecurity, constantly scanning for threats, walking on eggshells, consumed by the relational pain that has become your reality.
The damage you’ve endured to your self worth means you’re more likely to people-please and abandon your truth to keep the peace. You find yourself wrestling with shame, ruminating over unspoken resentments, and resisting the urge to lash out or run away.
You live with the fear of being too much, or not enough, and struggle to experience feelings of trust and safety in your relationships.
These aren’t personality flaws.
They’re survival strategies you learned in an environment where safety wasn’t consistent, and care wasn’t reliable.
Left unresolved, these patterns carry over into new relationships- replaying the drama of the past and crashing into the same walls you’ve worked so hard to distance yourself from, costing you more and more over time.
Understanding the past isn’t enough. Time alone isn’t enough.
What’s needed is the safe connection and tools to retrain your nervous system, reclaim your self worth, and rediscover yourself.
About Me
My path into this work began with my own search for healing and transformation. In my early twenties, a significant health crisis disrupted my life and sent me on a deeply personal healing journey. Through exploring various therapeutic approaches, I developed a profound respect for the courage and effort it takes to rebuild trust in yourself and your body.
That experience shapes how I show up today. My work is collaborative, grounded, and attuned to your nervous system. I draw from somatic therapy and parts work to help you move beyond insight alone and into embodied change – at a pace that feels safe, sustainable, and playful.
Outside the therapy room, I spend time producing music, practicing yoga, reading, and being in nature. Creativity and embodiment are central to how I live and work. If you’re feeling called toward deeper healing and a more authentic way of being, I’d be honored to connect.
My Approach
In my work with clients, I offer a potent combination of parts work and somatic therapy tools to address the most challenging elements of complex and relational trauma.
We’ll work together to:
- Understand the survival strategies you’ve adopted that are no longer serving your needs.
- Unlearn patterns of tension, hypervigilance, and numbness to reestablish what safety feels like within your nervous system.
- Repair the wounds that sabotage intimacy and authentic connection.
- Provide the emotional nourishment and attunement you didn’t get when you need it most
- Identify opportunities to grow in your use of boundaries and effective communication practices to support your ability to advocate for your needs and resolve conflict.
- Help you build new ways of relating to yourself, your emotions, and the people you love
This isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you grow into the version of yourself that trauma interrupted- the one who feels grounded, capable, connected, and free.
You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. You deserve support that understands the complexity of what you’ve lived through—and knows how to help you move beyond survival.
If you’re here looking for help, some part of you knows there is another way.
Let’s work together to address the burdens you carry and heal the wounds that prevent you from truly thriving.
Relief is within reach.
When you are ready to talk, you are one step closer to change.
Let’s find a time to connect.
