Complex Trauma
Telehealth Therapy in Colorado.
Growing up in an unpredictable home meant always needing a plan. Now, uncertainty feels unbearable. Keeping everyone else happy became second nature, but somewhere along the way, you lost touch with what you actually want and who you actually are.
Complex trauma develops through repeated experiences like abuse, neglect, or growing up in an environment where you never felt emotionally safe. These experiences shape how you move through adulthood, but they don't have to define it. In therapy, we'll work to understand these patterns, unlearn what no longer serves you, and build a life where you have more freedom, autonomy, and choice.
Together we can explore:
People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries.
Low self-worth and difficulty understanding your own needs.
Emotional neglect, fawning, or hypervigilance.
Expressing your feelings rather than keeping them to yourself.
Your attachment patterns and how they affect relationships.
Emotional dependency or difficulty trusting others.
Feeling responsible for other people's emotions.
Learning to ask for what you need.
What working together can look like
We'll collaboratively look at the experiences and relationships that shaped you, understand the patterns you're bringing into adulthood, and explore what you want to do differently.
Our work isn't about staying stuck in the past. It's about helping you build healthier relationships, feel more confident in yourself, and have greater agency over your life.
I won't tell you how to live. We'll figure out what works best for you.
