Trauma therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps individuals process unresolved experiences that continue to affect emotional regulation, relationships, and self-belief. Trauma therapy focuses on helping clients feel safer in their bodies and more grounded in the present.
What is childhood trauma therapy?
childhood trauma therapy helps adults understand how early experiences - such as emotional neglect, family instability, criticism, or abuse - may still be shaping anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or relational patterns today. This insight allows you to redefine belief systems and behavioral patterns that negatively impact your relationship with yourself and others.

Do you provide therapy for emotional abuse ?
Yes! Emotional abuse or neglect in childhood can have devastating effects on your wellbeing. Therapy for emotional abuse is an important part of learning how to get your unmet needs MET through healthy relationship patterns. Emotional abuse is a form of trauma and requires a trauma-informed therapist. I can help you heal from the neglect you experienced in your childhood because your needs matter.
