A collection of small branches, representing the beginnings of transformation and the importance of small steps in trauma therapy.

You’re tired of past painful experiences keeping you stuck.

You might be handling life well day to day, managing work, relationships, and the regular demands of life—but there's a part of you deep down that still carries the weight of unresolved emotional pain. Even when things appear to be going well, you may find yourself feeling unexpected moments of worry, sadness, or anger that feel disproportionate to the situation. These intense reactions often seem to come out of nowhere, and they can be especially noticeable in your relationships with partners, friends, or coworkers. Trauma is a complex experience that can shape how we interact with the world, even if it’s something we don’t always consciously recognize.

Sound like you?

You have this huge rush of anxiety and fear during an argument with your partner or when your partner may be angry with you.

You make a mistake and suddenly you are convinced that nothing you do is ever good enough.

A moment of distance in a relationship triggers a deep sense of rejection even when you know that person really cares about you.

You go through a life change and it brings up memories or feelings about what you’ve been through all over again.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Trauma therapy can help you heal attachment wounds and overcome the past.

Attachment trauma can show up in different ways, from more subtle experiences to bigger, more obvious ones. For some, it might be feeling like your emotions weren’t acknowledged as a child, struggling to connect with a parent, or growing up in a home where love and support felt inconsistent. For others, it may involve more intense experiences, like a parent’s divorce, the loss of a caregiver, being bullied, or living with a parent who was angry, anxious, or unpredictable. Whether these experiences were quiet and subtle or deeply impactful, they can shape how you see yourself, trust others, and build relationships.

In our work together, we’ll gently explore how your past experiences might be affecting your life now—especially in your relationships and emotional patterns. Using tools like EMDR, we’ll work on healing those early emotional wounds, helping you feel more at peace with your past. You’ll also learn skills to manage overwhelming feelings, shift unhelpful patterns, and build a stronger sense of self-worth. This process will empower you to create healthier relationships and feel more secure and connected in your life moving forward.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

Past experiences don’t have to continue holding you back. Heal the past so you can have a calm and confident future.
