Trauma wounds
Trauma wounds can develop around overwhelming or painful events that happened to us—experiences our minds and nervous systems had difficulty processing or feeling safe through.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Pause. Process. Grow.
Therapy is a place to pause, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with yourself—one honest hour at a time.
You may be functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck underneath.
There is room for all of it here
Understanding comes before change.
You deserve more than quick advice or a list of coping skills. Together, we can slow things down, understand the patterns that have helped you survive, and build new ways of responding that feel genuine and sustainable.
You set the pace. I bring support, honest reflection, and practical tools tailored to your life—not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Looking beneath the pattern
What happened—and what may have been missing.
I find it helpful to distinguish between trauma wounds and attachment wounds because they can shape us in different ways. Understanding both can bring clarity to reactions that once felt confusing or automatic.
Attachment wounds
Attachment wounds can develop when important emotional or relational needs were not consistently met in childhood, such as comfort, safety, reassurance, attunement, protection, or help regulating emotions.
This work is about context, not blame.
Recognizing an unmet need does not mean a parent or caregiver was bad, unloving, or intentionally did something wrong. Even in loving families, needs can go unmet because of stress, illness, loss, limited support, generational patterns, or what caregivers themselves were taught.
Together, we can look at your history with compassion and curiosity, understand how old patterns affect the way you relate to yourself and the people around you, and begin meeting those attachment needs in healthier ways. The goal is to break cycles—not assign blame.
Working together
What you can expect
01
Feel understood
We begin with your story: what brings you in, what you’ve been carrying, and what you hope will feel different.
02
Notice the patterns
We gently connect thoughts, emotions, relationships, and past experiences so your reactions begin to make sense.
03
Move forward differently
Insight becomes practice through healthier coping, clearer boundaries, deeper self-trust, and choices that fit who you are now.
Areas of support
Therapy for the things that are hard to hold alone.
I work primarily with older adolescents and adults who want a thoughtful, supportive space to understand themselves and create meaningful change.
✦Anxiety
✦Depression
✦Grief & loss
✦Trauma
✦Relationships
✦Self-esteem
✦Life transitions
✦Boundaries
Progress may look like recognizing a pattern sooner, trusting your feelings, setting one boundary, or simply feeling more like yourself again.
Your therapist
Warm, collaborative, and human.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to stay curious. My role is not to judge your choices or tell you who to become. It is to help you understand your experiences, recognize what is no longer serving you, and make room for what comes next.
My approach draws from trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT skills, motivational interviewing, attachment work, and grief education. Sessions are tailored to you, with space for both emotional processing and practical strategies.

Questions
Before we begin
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are provided through secure telehealth for clients physically located in Florida or South Carolina at the time of their appointment.
What should I expect during the first session?
The first session—and sometimes part of the next, depending on your story—focuses on a thorough intake assessment. I’ll ask about your current concerns, personal and family history, relationships, health, support system, and previous experiences with therapy. Because every person is different, understanding the fuller context helps me tailor your care, recognize factors that may be affecting your symptoms, and begin with a plan designed for you rather than making assumptions. You can always let me know if you are not ready to discuss something.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?
No. You can begin with a feeling, a recent experience, or simply the sense that something needs to change. We will identify your goals together.
Who do you work with?
I work primarily with older adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with limited legal and ethical exceptions. I may be required to share the minimum information necessary when I have reasonable cause to suspect abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child or vulnerable adult; when there is a clear and immediate danger of serious harm to you or another person; when records are ordered by a court or disclosure is otherwise required by law; or when you provide written authorization. We will review these limits during intake, and you are always welcome to ask questions about your privacy.
