You’re tired of having to keep holding it all together.
And you don’t have to be.
You’ve been holding it together for a long time. Looking at you, no one would guess what you’ve been through. But inside, the past lingers—shaping how you move through the world. The tension. The emotional shutdown. The way your body braces for things that shouldn’t feel like danger.
You’re not imagining it. This is what unresolved trauma can look like.
Sound like you?
You’ve been through things that changed you—whether it was a single event, a season of chaos, or years of survival. Maybe you didn’t call it trauma at the time or even struggle with that term now.. You just did what you had to do.
But now, it’s catching up.
You find yourself:
Snapping at people you care about and instantly regretting it
Zoning out in meetings, then overcompensating because you're afraid of being seen as “off”
Smiling when you’re expected to, even when you feel totally numb inside
Struggling to focus—even simple tasks feel overwhelming
Feeling like a fraud for being “the strong one” when you can’t even relax at home
Wondering how it’s possible to do everything right and still feel so disconnected from your life
And beneath it all, a voice echoing: Life feels unfair.
You’ve done so much to survive, to hold it together, to rise above—and after all that, it still feels like you’re being punished for things that were never your fault.
To top it off, most people don’t really get it. They want you to move on. They see your success, your competence, your smile—and assume you’re fine.
So you keep it inside, feeling more alone…and more exhausted.
You’ve always carried more than most. But what you’ve done to survive isn’t working like it used to.
You're not broken. You're not weak.
This is what trauma can look like—especially when you're high-functioning. It’s your nervous system doing its best to protect you…
And it’s also your sign that you’re ready to heal.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about creating a space where you don’t have to pretend—where you don’t have to explain why it’s hard, or convince anyone that you’re hurting. I believe you. And I’ll walk with you at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
In our work together, you get to be real.
The exhaustion. The anger. The numbness. The self-doubt. It all gets to come with you into our time and we’ll make sense of it together, without judgment or pressure to “get over it.”
You don’t have to rehash every detail of your past to heal. But you do deserve space to understand how it’s still living in your body, shaping your reactions, and whispering old, painful stories about who you are.
Together, we’ll gently untangle those patterns and help you reconnect with what truly matters to you. Not what others expect. Not what you’ve been told you should care about. But your real values—the things that light you up, make you feel grounded, and give life meaning.
As we work together, you’ll start to feel more grounded in yourself—and more in control of how you respond to life.
Not because you’ve forced yourself to “push through,” but because you’ve reclaimed your voice, your choices, and your power.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
You’ll begin to:
Feel safer in your own skin
Hear yourself more clearly—without the noise of guilt or shame
Recognize old patterns and choose different responses
Take small, aligned steps toward what really matters to you
Show up in your relationships with clarity, honesty, and confidence
This work isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about connecting to yourself—and building a life that actually fits.
Over time, the pressure will release.
You feel more in control—not because everything is perfect, but because you trust yourself to handle what comes. You’ve stopped bracing for impact. You’ve stopped apologizing for your needs.
You show up more fully in your life—because now it actually feels like your life.
You…
Say no without guilt, and yes without fear
Feel connected to your body and emotions, not controlled by them
Make decisions from a place of clarity, not survival
Let go of who you thought you had to be, and finally start living as who you truly are
The past may still be part of your story, but it’s no longer running the show.
You are.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
You’ve figured it out, pushed through, and done the work alone.
But you don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself.
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living—on your own terms—I’d be honored to walk with you.

We will focus on what feels safest to you. I have worked with some people where the details were important to them to discuss and some where it was not the focus at all. Oftentimes, it is not the trauma itself, but navigating everything afterward that needs support.

That’s totally fair. The word does not feel right to many people. I have worked with clients about coming up with another term for it. Many times it is our mind and body that tells us that we are affected and we don’t necessarily have to name it “trauma” to know that you have been affected and could use support.
