Therapy For Trauma and PTSD for women
Helping Women Shed the Weight of the Past (Because You Weren’t Meant to Carry This Alone)
You’ve
Been Carrying So Much
But it’s time to give yourself permission to finally let go and heal. Your strength and resilience are powerful, but you deserve to feel light and free.
From the outside, no one would guess the battle you fight every single day. You’re successful. Capable. The one who’s always handling it.
But the truth? You’re tired. And not just “I need a nap” tired (although, let’s be honest, that, too).
You’re soul tired.
And it’s not just from physical exhaustion.
You’re ready for the peace and relief that comes when you release the weight you’ve been carrying for so long.
Overwhelmed. Always bracing for the next disaster, the next disappointment, the next wave of anxiety that steals your light and keeps you staring at the ceiling at 1 a.m.
Your mind races, stuck on an endless loop of worst-case scenarios that never seem to stop. And slowing down? Feels like opening a door you’re not sure you’re ready to walk through.
It’s like no one really gets it, like you’re invisible, carrying everything alone. And that spark you used to have? Feels like a distant memory.
Imagine feeling lighter, more grounded, and able to embrace each day with a sense of calm and confidence. That’s the shift we can work toward, together.
I help deeply feeling, empathetic women heal through trauma and PTSD therapy, that’s compassionate, grounding, and actually works.
How Trauma and PTSD Show Up for Deeply Empathetic Women
At work. In relationships. In motherhood.
Being a deep feeling, deep thinking woman sometimes feels like you’re too much for your own emotions. You notice the smallest shifts in tone, in energy, in body language. You can feel the mood in the room change before anyone else even realizes something’s off.
Your high-empathy, caring nature is your your magic, a gift that allows you to feel deeply connect deeply, and love deeply.
Trauma may have dimmed that light, but together, we’ll reignite it. 
"Just where you are, that's the place to start."

As a Mom: Carrying More Than Just Your Own Pain
Motherhood is overwhelming as it is. But as a deep feeling woman with trauma? It can feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You:
※ Worry your kids can sense your struggles (spoiler: they see your love more than anything else).
※ Get overstimulated fast-the noise, the mess, the endless demands.
※ Parent from a place of fear, terrified of repeating cycles you swore you’d break.
※ Feel like you’re failing, even though you’re doing more than enough.
※ Collapse into bed at night, totally spent… and still wonder if you should’ve done more.
※ Love your kids fiercely. But there’s a part of you that fears, no matter how hard you try, the past will find its way into their lives.
I want you to know: it doesn’t have to be this way.
You want to be the mom who feels grounded and calm, who can embrace the joy of motherhood without carrying the weight of the past. That’s possible, and together we’ll make that happen.
In Relationships: Feeling Too Much, Giving Too Much… Getting Too Little
⁑ You love hard. You give deeply. But trauma makes it hard to feel safe in relationships. You:
⁑ Overanalyze texts, tone, and body language, always afraid you’ve upset someone.
⁑ Avoid conflict and confrontation, even when it means swallowing your own needs.
⁑ Find yourself in one-sided relationships, giving endlessly but rarely receiving.
⁑ Feel emotionally wiped out from tending to everyone else’s feelings.
⁑ Struggle with trust-clinging too tightly or pushing people away before they can hurt you.
You want connection more than anything…but past pain taught you to protect yourself by shrinking, silencing, overcompensating. You worry you’re too much. And at the same time? You worry you’re not enough.
I see you. And you are neither. You are exactly right.
At Work: The Weight of Expectations
Work isn’t just work. It’s a constant emotional marathon you never asked for. You’re the one who senses tension before anyone says a word.
The one who takes on more because disappointing people feels unbearable.
The one who slides into people pleasing and perfectionism, even though you know how exhausting it is. And underneath all of it? That sneaky imposter syndrome whispering: What if I’m not really good enough?
⟶ You feel like you’re walking on eggshells, dodging confrontation at all costs.
⟶ You say yes (again), even when you’re already drowning.
⟶ You replay conversations on a loop, wondering if you said the wrong thing.
⟶ Your brain is in overdrive, constantly scanning for what’s about to go wrong.
⟶ By the time you leave work, you’re emotionally spent… yet you still have to show up at home as if you’re not completely spent.
Here’s the thing: This isn’t just stress. This is trauma showing up in your nervous system-and you don’t have to keep living this way.
Therapy for Trauma and PTSD That Gets You
Let me make this crystal clear.
There is nothing wrong with you. Your nervous system isn’t broken. It’s been working overtime to protect you. But those old survival patterns? They’re outdated now.
And they’re keeping you in constant survival mode anymore.
⁜ Imagine a day where you don’t have to fake a smile. Where you feel calm. Grounded. Where the past doesn’t get to run the show.
This isn’t just wishful thinking. This is healing. And it’s possible for you.
How Trauma and PTSD Therapy Works (We Won’t Just Talk in Circles.)
This is about untangling trauma, releasing it, and finding freedom on the other side.
I’m here to guide you through this healing journey with a nurturing, flexible approach that’s as unique as you are. It’s not just about managing, it’s about thriving.
I use research-backed therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting Therapy (BSP), and Trauma-Informed Hypnosis.
⟶ EMDR goes deeper than talk therapy alone.
⟶ It helps rewire your brain’s response to trauma.
⟶ You’ll feel less triggered, less reactive, and more at peace in your body and mind.
Plus, I’ll incorporate other therapies to support healing from PTSD, complex trauma, childhood wounds, attachment trauma, and sexual trauma.
How Trauma and PTSD Therapy Can Help You
Trauma doesn’t have to define you. You can rediscover your true self and live the life you deserve. Because being a sensitive woman with trauma doesn’t mean you’re destined to a life of anxiety, exhaustion, and people pleasing.
Your kindness and empathy are not just part of who you are-they’re strengths.
The pain you’ve carried is not yours to hold forever, and you deserve to heal, thrive, and fully embrace the beautiful person you are.
With the right therapy, you can:
↠ Quiet the anxiety and overthinking, and fear that something bad is going to happen.
↠ Release the guilt, shame, and self-blame you’ve been carrying.
↠ Heal from the past instead of reliving it on repeat.
↠ Set boundaries without feeling guilty (yes, it’s possible!).
↠ Feel good enough without proving, perfecting, or over-giving.
↠ Stop feeling like you have to “fix” everyone around you.
↠ Experience relationships where you can be seen, heard, and supported.
↠ Be the mom you want to be without carrying the weight of past generations.
Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone you’re not. It means becoming more of yourself.
Without fear. Without shame. Without the past holding you back.
