Online Trauma Therapy
In California, Georgia, & Florida
Trauma therapy to help women rewrite the struggles of the past, break the chains of generational trauma, and embrace their joy for the future.
You are more than what has happened to you.
You may feel as though things will never be the same again. You have been running from what you have been through, but now you are tired of running because it hasn’t changed anything. You find it hard to enjoy the things you love the most because your mind is constantly racing. You struggle to trust others because you were raised in an environment of secrecy. You have realized that you are just surviving instead of thriving.
Do you wish that you could just close that painful chapter, but instead…
…You can’t escape what happened even when you sleep because the nightmares bring you back to the reality of what happened.
…You’re angry about what happened because you should have been protected by those with the responsibility to care for you.
…You struggle to be supported by your friends and family because they make you feel like you are “too much” to handle and that makes it hard to open up to them.
…You don’t open up in relationships because it is easier to keep yourself safe that way. If people don’t truly know you then they cannot hurt you.
…You struggle to relax because you don’t trust yourself to make the right decisions or keep yourself safe.
Online trauma therapy can help you put those experiences to rest so you can feel lighter and focus on what really matters in your life.

Trauma therapy is about trusting me to create a safe place to help you heal. Relational trauma did not happen in isolation and your healing shouldn’t either. I will help you explore your story while teaching you proven skills to help you manage and cope with what happened. I will be with you every step of the way to help you learn to leave the past behind.
Even though it is hard, I will sit with you and help you explore the emotions you are dealing with. I will encourage you to take your time and not rush the process because it is as much about the destination as the journey. I know that you are ready to be past what happened and don’t worry, you will get there.
Our sessions will encourage you to challenge long standing patterns and assumptions so the effects of the trauma can be identified and overcome. I will celebrate with you in your progress towards becoming a woman free from the chains of the past.

How long you are in therapy depends on your needs and what you are trying to accomplish. I have found that relational trauma that occurred in childhood or adolescence tends to take a bit longer to address because often it is not just one event, but multiple events that need to be addressed. Events that happened in adulthood that are unattached to other instances of trauma tend to be easier to address. Either way healing is possible. I have found that trauma therapy tends to be more effective starting with weekly sessions. This allows us to get to know each other, build trust, and begin healing those wounds.

While I cannot make any guarantees, I know that trauma therapy can help teach you necessary coping skills. I have found that once these skills are in place my clients feel more confident exploring the trauma because they no longer need to stuff their emotions inside. All you need to do is come to the sessions with willingness and curiosity so you can begin to create meaningful and lasting changes. These changes occur within a healing, therapeutic relationship. This is why I offer free consultations so that we can determine whether I am the right therapist for you.
