Do you support other types of trauma?

Yes, absolutely. If an experience has left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, it is significant. While I specialize in sexual trauma, I also support clients navigating many other forms of (PTSD and C-PTSD) life-altering experiences.

• The Long-Term Stress of Survival: When your nervous system has been stuck in “high alert” for years for any reason, you may feel constantly on edge, exhausted, or disconnected from your sense of self or safety.

• Relational Wounds: Healing from the ways people have let you down or hurt you—whether through abuse, betrayal, neglect, or repeated patterns of disappointment.

• Sudden or Traumatic Life Events: Working through events that fundamentally changed your sense of stability or safety, from loss to unexpected life transitions.

Therapy can be a safe space to reconnect with yourself, restore a sense of safety, and reclaim the parts of life that feel lost or out of reach. Beyond survival, there is room to rediscover joy, cultivate ease and build a life that feels truly good to live.
