Trauma and Relationship Therapy for More Choice, Connection, and Growth
When talking about it isn’t enough.
Complex trauma, PTSD and traumatic loss can wreak havoc on our ability to trust ourselves, speak for our needs, and show up how we want to with others. You can read all the books and spend hours in talk therapy, and still:
You question your own decisions, needs, and judgment
You shut down when you most need to speak up
Anger comes out quickly and intensely
You get defensive and push away the people you want close
You pull back from vulnerability, even when the distance hurts
You replay every word and second-guess what you said
You know you want to take better care of yourself, but you struggle to follow through.
You know what you want to do differently, but the old reactions take over
Maybe you know exactly where this comes from. Maybe you’re only starting to connect the dots. Complex trauma and PTSD don’t just cause physiological symptoms. They have an insidious way of showing up in all of your relationships, especially your relationship with yourself.
Understanding the patterns is not enough. You want a new way forward.
That means handling conflict without losing yourself in it. Trusting your own judgment. Recovering faster when something hits a nerve. Staying connected without abandoning yourself. Making choices based on what you want now, not what you learned you had to do to stay safe, accepted, or in control.
Here’s how we change it.
I specialize in EMDR and IFS-informed therapy for adults dealing with developmental and family trauma, betrayal, loss, difficult relationships, anxiety, self-doubt, dissociation, and recurring patterns that keep getting in the way.
The goal is to change the underlying patterns of response and reactivity held in your nervous system. This is more powerful than insight and coping skills alone.
We work directly with the experiences and responses driving the pattern so you have more choice in the moment, more trust in yourself, and more freedom in your relationships and your life.

How the past keeps showing up in the present
As a Level 3 IFS Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I provide specialized online trauma therapy for adults and couples navigating:
anxiety, overthinking, shame, panic, or persistent self-doubt
perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or difficulty trusting their own judgment
childhood trauma, relational trauma, attachment wounds, or unresolved painful experiences
conflict, withdrawal, mistrust, fear of abandonment, or disconnection in important relationships
emotional overwhelm, shutdown, numbness, or dissociation
Our work together will be active, experiential, and paced with respect for the nervous system. EMDR, IFS, and trauma sensitive IFIO relationship therapy help shift the emotional and body-based responses that insight alone has not changed.
