Online Trauma Therapy for Individuals and Couples
Whatever it is, having a safe supportive space can help
Trauma can quietly shape how you see yourself, how safe you feel in the world, and how you show up in relationships. Whether your trauma comes from childhood experiences, relationship wounds, identity-based stress, or a single overwhelming event, healing is possible—with the right support.
I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals and couples who want to understand their experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build a greater sense of safety, connection, and self-trust.
What is Trauma?
Trauma isn’t defined only by what happened—it’s defined by how your nervous system experienced it.
Trauma can result from:
Childhood emotional neglect, abuse, or inconsistent caregiving
Relationship trauma, betrayal, or infidelity
Racial trauma, cultural stress, or identity-based harm
Sexual trauma or boundary violations
Chronic stress, discrimination, or microaggressions
Medical trauma or sudden loss
You don’t have to “remember everything” or label your experience as traumatic to benefit from trauma therapy. If your past still shows up as anxiety, emotional shutdown, hypervigilance, shame, or difficulty trusting others, trauma-informed therapy can help.
Signs Trauma May Be Affecting You or Your Relationship
Trauma often shows up in subtle, confusing ways. You may notice:
Feeling constantly on edge, numb, or overwhelmed
Difficulty regulating emotions or calming yourself
Shame, self-blame, or negative self-beliefs
Trouble trusting others or feeling emotionally safe
Avoidance of conflict, intimacy, or vulnerability
Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
Intense reactions to seemingly small triggers
In couples, trauma can look like recurring arguments, emotional distance, mismatched needs for closeness, or feeling misunderstood by your partner.
Trauma Therapy for Individuals
I
ndividual trauma therapy focuses on helping you feel safer in your body and more grounded in the present, while gently processing past experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
In our work together, we may focus on:
Understanding how trauma impacts your nervous system
Reducing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or shutdown
Building emotional regulation and self-compassion
Identifying and changing trauma-driven beliefs
Strengthening boundaries and self-trust
Reconnecting with your sense of identity and agency
I use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach that honors your lived experience, identity, and values. Therapy is collaborative—you are always in control of the pace and depth of our work.
Working With Couples and Trauma
Trauma doesn’t just live inside individuals—it lives in relationships.
When one or both partners have experienced trauma, it can deeply affect communication, intimacy, and emotional safety. Couples may find themselves stuck in cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or misunderstanding without realizing trauma is driving these patterns.
In trauma-informed couples therapy, we focus on:
Understanding how past trauma shows up in your relationship
Identifying trigger cycles and attachment patterns
Increasing emotional safety and trust between partners
Improving communication without blame or defensiveness
Learning how to support each other without retraumatization
Rebuilding intimacy after betrayal or relational wounds
Rather than focusing on who is “right” or “wrong,” we work to understand what each partner needs to feel safe, seen, and connected.
This approach is especially helpful for:
Couples navigating childhood trauma histories
Interracial or multicultural couples facing racial trauma
LGBTQ+ couples navigating minority stress
Couples healing after infidelity or relational rupture
Premarital couples wanting to prevent trauma-driven patterns
My Approach to Trauma Therapy
My work is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based, and relational therapy. I integrate evidence-based approaches while remaining flexible and responsive to each client’s unique needs.
I believe:
Healing happens in safe, attuned relationships
Trauma responses are adaptive—not personal failures
Cultural, racial, and relational contexts matter
You don’t need to relive your trauma to heal from it
I offer a warm, affirming space where you can show up fully—without judgment, pressure, or the need to “have it all together.”
