It’s been gnawing away at you.

The feeling that something in your childhood was not exactly right.

That your parents were not who you imagined or hoped they were…

You feel discomfort in beginning therapy and focusing on yourself.

Every time you have broken away from thinking of others and doing something for yourself, you have been shamed and told you are selfish.

But it’s time to shed what’s been keeping you stuck. When it takes hold, you notice:

  • You stay stuck in your head, over-thinking and replaying the same thoughts or errors

  • You are your own worst critic, and you shame yourself constantly

  • You make sure to stay productive. You have got to remain on task, focused, and hard-working. You can’t seem lazy! You don’t have the luxury of relaxation

  • You apologize again and again. It feels like it is never enough to make you enough

  • You believe others deserve more space and joy than yourself

  • Your anger? Please. That’s just not allowed.

  • You doubt your sadness when it comes on. Is it really valid? It’s hard to know…

Despite being incredibly caring and perceptive, you increasingly discover that you feel stressed, resentful (even though you don’t want to), and these feelings unfold into your relationships.

and discover your true self

Finally Feeling Like You Are Enough with Childhood Trauma Therapy

What would your life look like if, instead of stress, frustration, overwhelm, and resentment, you could connect inward, know what you need, and nurture yourself?

In this space and time, what would it look like for you to give yourself curiosity, compassion, and love?

What would happen if instead of shame and criticism you gave the same kind of care to yourself that you so freely and willingly give to other people?

Childhood Trauma Therapy: Supporting You in the Past and in the Present

I work with adults navigating parts of their past that in the present can show up as feeling “too much” and “not good enough,” low self-esteem, complex trauma/complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, the impact of having emotionally immature or narcissistic parents/caregivers, relationship challenges, parenting challenges/stress
