About

You may be a young adult carrying the long shadow of childhood or early sexual trauma while still trying to function, achieve, and stay connected in your relationships. You might feel disconnected from your body, guarded in intimacy, or burdened by shame or self-blame you can’t shake. I offer a warm, steady space where you can explore the impact of what happened at your own pace. Together, we make sense of old patterns so you can feel more grounded, whole, and connected to yourself again. View 5 Photos My approach is psychodynamic and relational. We explore how early experiences shaped your emotions, boundaries, and sense of self. This is slow, deep, trauma-informed work that helps you understand your inner world, build safety in relationships, and reconnect with parts of yourself you had to shut down to survive.
