“The experience of
speaking from the heart
and being taken seriously
builds the psychic
architecture that
supports the capacity
to bear life.”
Nancy McWilliams
Welcome.
You’ve managed trauma in the past, but perhaps your coping tools feel worn out. Maybe you notice overwhelm, disconnection, or patterns that are no longer working. Perhaps you've hit what feels like an emotional or physical wall.
Our minds are impressive in the way they protect us from unbearable experiences using anxiety, dissociation, and even psychosis, yet those same defenses can also hold us back.
Whether your trauma comes from a complex childhood, a single event, or navigating the challenges of living in a neurotypical world, therapy can help you honor your survival, loosen the grip of the past, and build a life with less distress that is shaped by choice.
I offer individual trauma-informed therapy for adults of all ages (both online and in-person) in the Fremont neighborhood using a relational, psychodynamic approach.
