Complex & Developmental Trauma

Trauma isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what those experiences left behind in you and the patterns you learned to get you through it. The problem is that those ways of getting through may not be so helpful any longer in your present-day, adult life.

Maybe you feel on guard all the time, or you wonder why certain memories or sensations suddenly pull you under. Perhaps you question your worth and importance in significant relationships, or you constantly doubt your capabilities.

Whether you’re coping with life-altering events that happened during your youth, or a childhood filled with subtle but chronic stress, we’ll work together to help your nervous system find steadiness and your story find meaning. Using approaches like EMDR and parts work, I’ll work alongside you to help you gently process the past so it no longer drives your present.

Common Experiences for People with Complex Trauma:

• Imposter Syndrome

• Harsh inner critic

• Low self-esteem

• People pleasing

• Difficulty trusting others and difficulty feeling vulnerable

• Easily started and inability to relax

• Unexplained aches and pains (medical reasons already ruled out)

• Mood swings, and/or the opposite: emotionally numb

• Chronic loneliness

If any of this sounds familiar, there is hope. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit.
