Therapy for Adult Millennial Survivors of Childhood Abuse, Neglect & Family Dysfunction
You might not use words like trauma, CPTSD, or attachment wounds — but you feel the impact every day.
Many of my clients come in saying:
“I don’t know why I shut down around conflict.”
“I can’t relax… even when life is going well.”
“I feel guilty anytime I put myself first.”
“Something small happens and it hits me way too hard.”
“I don’t know who I am without trying to please everyone.”
These experiences are not a failure. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you.
Our work helps you create a new, gentler pattern.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are. We’ll focus on the places where the past shows up most in your present:
Relationships: Feeling unseen, over-giving until you’re resentful, shutting down to avoid rejection, or getting pulled back into old family roles.
Work: Perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of disappointing others, or never quite feeling like you belong—even when you’re performing well.
Parenting: A loud inner critic, emotional spirals and guilt that leave you stuck.
My Approach
Therapy with me is gentle, body focused, and practical.
We’ll work with what’s happening in your life right now—your mornings, your relationships, your work stress, the moments you shut down, the times you over-give, the times you disappear.
Together we will:
Calm your mind and body when stress spikes
Replace shame with self-compassion, so your inner voice becomes a helpful ally
Build boundaries that protect you without drowning you in guilt
Make peace with your past without letting it define your future
I draw from trauma-informed methods (including EMDR, forward-focused therapy and more). You set the pace. Consent and collaboration guide every step we do.
What You Can Expect Working Together
Your initial session is a conversation—not a test.
We’ll talk about:
What brings you in
What you hope will feel different
What gets in the way
In the beginning:
We will learn about your challenges and their impact on your relationships, work and/or identity.
Through experiential exercises, you will learn about the threat response circuitry that leads to fight or flight.
Focus on building safety and stability through in-vivo exposure
Practice small, doable habits with accountability to allow for integration
As you feel steadier:
Expand your psychological flexibility and tolerance for distress
Begin to rewire overadapted patterns related to emotional flashbacks, toxic shame, self-abandonment, vicious inner critic and/or social anxiety.
You will not only learn but will practice how to live intentionally to help you create a life that is rooted in present choice and not old patterns of reactivity.
Between sessions, you’ll:
Fill out assessments every 2-4 weeks to track your progress as well as identify areas of challenge.
Bring your wins and challenges into session that we process together.
We’ll adapt as we go—based on what truly helps you using a feedback informed treatment approach.

You’ve carried survival mode long enough. Let’s begin the work of moving you toward safety, compassion, and freedom.
