Healing beyond Relational Trauma

Emotional wounds – whether rooted in childhood or adult relationships – can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not good enough.

Every journey begins with one step.

Did you grow up with caregivers who were dismissive, self-absorbed, or emotionally unavailable?

Have you experienced similar dynamics in adult relationships, where you’ve felt unheard and unseen like your needs don’t matter?

These painful experiences often shape how you see yourself and how safe you feel with others. Over time, they may bring self-doubt, disconnection, or the heavy sense of carrying too much alone.


You're not alone

Relational trauma happens within the context of relationships, often through repeated emotional wounds—being dismissed, rejected, or feeling unsafe with those who were meant to support you.

These hurtful experiences can lead to emotional ups and downs and difficulty trusting yourself or others. But these patterns don’t have to define you. Therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences, build emotional resilience, and come home to yourself.

You don’t have to navigate this on your own.

Relational wounds can deeply impact your present life. You might be experiencing...

• Emotional overwhelm or feeling shut down
• Feeling on edge or easily unsettled by everyday moments
• A deep sense of disconnection — from yourself or others
• Difficulty trusting yourself or others, setting boundaries, or asking for what you need
• Finding yourself in familiar, yet draining and unfulfilling relationship dynamics 
• Lingering grief, shame, or low mood without a clear reason
• Physical symptoms with no obvious cause

A space to
explore this together

This short video is a gentle introduction to relational trauma therapy — and a chance to meet me. Choosing a therapist isn’t always easy, and sometimes hearing a voice and seeing a face can make reaching out feel more comfortable.
