Complex Trauma — What I Offer

Trauma-informed therapy for repeating nervous-system patterns (not just one event).

Looking for something different? If you want a sense of pacing and emotional safety first, see Complex Trauma Patterns — My Style.

Complex trauma often shows up less as a single memory and more as a repeating pattern in thenervous system: hypervigilance, shutdown, emotional flooding, chronic shame, and relational triggers. People frequently describe feeling like they’re always managing themselves — scanning, bracing, masking, avoiding conflict, or trying to be “easy to deal with.” The result can look like anxiety, depression, obsessive loops, or a constant sense of being a burden.

Common Search Terms People Use

complex PTSD (CPTSD), trauma therapy, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive loops / obsessive-compulsive behaviors, rumination, panic, dissociation, hypervigilance.

What You Can Expect to Get from Therapy

  • A clear map of your patterns so you can predict them, interrupt them, and recover faster.
  • Tools for anxiety, depression, rumination, and trauma-triggered reactions.
  • Support for boundaries and relationship repair (including staying present in conflict).
  • Skill-building that is trauma-informed (not “just try harder”).
  • A steady therapeutic relationship that can hold complexity without rushing you.
