Complex trauma develops through ongoing, repeated experiences that overwhelm your capacity to feel safe, often within relationships that should have been protective. It’s not about one specific event, but the accumulation of moments where your needs were unmet, your boundaries were violated, or your voice was silenced. Over time, this can fracture your sense of self, making it harder to trust, connect, or feel at home in your body.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing complex trauma. Our therapists draw from a range of mind-body modalities—such as somatic practices, relational therapy, attachment-focused work, and trauma-informed talk therapy—to support your nervous system, explore your inner landscape, and help you move toward greater safety, connection, and self-trust. Each path is thoughtfully tailored to your needs and pace.

Think of complex trauma as the cause (prolonged exposure to trauma, like childhood abuse or chronic invalidation), and C-PTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) the clinical term used to describe the effect—the collection of symptoms that follow, including PTSD reactions (flashbacks, hypervigilance) plus struggles with self-worth, emotional regulation, and feeling "broken" in relationships.

People living with C-PTSD often experience emotional overwhelm, numbness, difficulty trusting others, or a sense of disconnection from themselves and their bodies. You might find yourself stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, chronic self-criticism, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.” C-PTSD can also include flashbacks, dissociation, and struggles with boundaries, identity, or maintaining close relationships.

We may be a good fit if you’re ready to go deeper than "just coping,” tired of feeling hijacked by past wounds, and seeking therapy that honors both your pain and your strengths. We provide a trauma-informed space where your story is held with care and nuance. Our therapists are experienced in working with high-functioning individuals who’ve learned to survive by suppressing or minimizing pain, and are now ready to explore what healing might look like beyond survival.

Start things off with a free 15-minute consultation. This call is a space for us to learn about what you're navigating, answer your questions, and help match you with a therapist who aligns with your needs. There’s no pressure—just an opportunity to connect and make sure the support we offer feels like a good fit for you.

We begin by building a sense of safety and connection—nothing is rushed. In our work together, you’ll explore your trauma story at a pace that feels tolerable, learn tools to support nervous system regulation, and gently begin the process of healing what’s been fragmented. Therapy is collaborative, rooted in curiosity, and guided by what matters most to you.
