You do not have to have lived through something literally life-threatening to be a trauma survivor. If you didn't get your basic or emotional needs consistently met during infancy and early childhood, you likely struggle in your adult relationships. You might be overly clingy, avoidant, or self-sabotaging with your friendships and romantic partners. Or maybe, for you, it shows up as anxiety, avoidance, dissociation, low self-worth, poor boundaries, and even self-destructive behaviors. This is called complex trauma or attachment-based trauma, and it can be healed!

I am certified in something called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), which is a leading trauma treatment backed by science and research. We will use EMDR to work through the grief and trauma to let go of the childhood you needed and deserved and help you reclaim your ability to grow into a confident, emotionally healthy adult.
Finding a therapist is more frustrating and difficult than it should be in today's world. You have already started the process in doing what is difficult in order to honor yourself and give yourself the chance at growth and relief from your pain or suffering. Reach out to me today to see if I could be a good fit for your needs and your therapy path.
