Supporting individuals in healing the wounds of childhood trauma and navigating the lasting impact of divorce. Space to build resilience, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of safety within themselves.
Childhood Trauma Therapy
Childhood experiences shape how we see ourselves and relate to the world. When those experiences include trauma, whether abuse, neglect, conflict, or instability, their impact can carry into adulthood in ways that are often subtle but deeply felt. You might notice difficulty trusting others, replaying old patterns in relationships, or feeling disconnected from your own sense of worth and safety. These struggles can leave you wondering why the past still feels so present.
In therapy, we explore the ways early experiences live on in your current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Drawing on IFS, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques, I help you recognize the patterns that formed in response to pain. Together, we work to process unresolved memories, uncover the roots of these patterns, and create space for healing so you can respond to life with greater freedom, rather than being pulled back into old cycles.
Through this process, you’ll cultivate self-understanding, resilience, and compassion for the younger parts of yourself that have carried so much. Over time, therapy becomes a place not only to lessen the weight of the past, but to strengthen your capacity to live fully in the present.

Adult Children of Divorce
The impact of divorce doesn’t always end in childhood. Even as an adult, you may notice echoes of your parents’ separation showing up in your own relationships and sense of security. You might struggle with trust, find yourself fearing abandonment, or feel torn between competing loyalties. These experiences can leave you questioning what healthy love and stability are supposed to look like, and how to create them for yourself.
In therapy, we look at how the dynamics of your family history continue to shape your inner world today. Drawing on Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy, I support you in processing the emotions and beliefs carried forward from those early years. Together, we untangle the ways the past still influences your present, and practice new ways of relating that bring greater steadiness, clarity, and authenticity.
Through this process, you’ll build a clarity of your needs and a deeper trust in yourself. Therapy also allows space to explore and solidify what you want in relationships. Over time, therapy becomes a place to release old burdens, strengthen your resilience, and step into connections that feel balanced, supportive, and aligned with the life you want to build.
