Developmental Trauma

My primary specialty is working with adults, typically parents themselves, who experienced a traumatic or neglectful childhood. This does not necessarily mean you had “capital T Trauma” like physical or sexual abuse; complex trauma means you experienced longer, ongoing pervasive neglect, lack of attunement, unpredictability, abuse, or feeling like you had to take care of others before your time. You might struggle with trusting others, feeling like you're “too much” or “not enough,” or constantly seeking approval. You might be highly independent, but underneath, there’s a fear of needing help. Or maybe relationships feel confusing. You want closeness but pushing people away at the same time. Therapy can help untangle old patterns, build new ways of relating to yourself and others, and create a sense of safety that wasn’t there before.

Through exploration and depth-oriented inquiry, I’ll help you determine what strategies you developed to survive as a child, how to have compassion for those strategies, and how to get to the root question of what you really want for yourself now that those childhood fears are no longer a threat.
