Healing from Complex and Developmental Trauma
Helping You Rediscover Yourself
Virtual Therapy New Jersey
Are you feeling stuck in the same painful patterns? Do you find yourself feeling constantly on edge, only to crash into a state of exhaustion and numbness?
Maybe you swing between high anxiety, where everything feels like a threat, and complete shutdown, where even the simplest tasks feel impossible. You might struggle to connect with others, finding relationships filled with conflict or distance. You’ve learned to keep the peace, even if it means losing pieces of yourself along the way. The fear of being seen, known, or vulnerable keeps you trapped in a cycle that feels inescapable.
Perhaps you’ve tried talk therapy or other traditional approaches, only to find that they don’t quite reach the depths of what you’re experiencing.
Life with trauma feels like a never-ending struggle. You may feel like you’re never good enough. You have a persistent inner critic that tells you everything you do is wrong. Your body and mind are in a constant state of alert, leaving you exhausted yet unable to rest.
Even your relationships are difficult. You might find yourself unable to trust others or swinging between pushing people away and desperately needing them close.
At work, you might avoid taking credit, setting boundaries, or advocating for yourself, fearful of being seen or criticized. Even in moments that should feel safe, like time with family or friends, you’re on guard, never truly able to relax.
This isn’t just in your mind—it’s in your body too.
You may feel disconnected from your own body, unsure how to identify what you’re feeling or where it’s coming from. Sometimes, overwhelming emotions like shame or fear strike out of nowhere, echoing past experiences that your mind may not even remember.
You might turn to substances, excessive screen time, or other ways to numb the pain, only to find that these coping mechanisms offer fleeting relief and deepen the sense of shame and disconnection.
Now, I want you to….
Imagine waking up without the weight of constant dread or exhaustion. Picture yourself moving through your day with a calm and steady presence, no longer overwhelmed by fear or shame.
In relationships, you feel secure enough to set boundaries, express your needs, and connect with others without fear of rejection or betrayal. You trust yourself, your decisions, and your ability to navigate life’s challenges.
This transformation extends beyond your relationships and into every aspect of your life. In your professional life, you step into your full potential, taking pride in your work. Family gatherings become more manageable, and you find joy in activities that used to feel daunting.
You’re no longer defined by your past or trapped in old patterns. Instead, you’re living with a newfound sense of freedom and self-acceptance.
You aren’t just healing. You’re reclaiming the parts of yourself
that have been buried under years of survival.
What Therapy for Trauma Looks Like
In therapy, we go beyond just talking about your trauma. My approach is centered on somatic and experiential healing, which means we work with both your mind and body to help you process and release what’s been holding you back.
We start by focusing on creating safety and stability. Through nervous system regulation and mindfulness, I’ll guide you in reconnecting with your body and learning to feel safe in the present moment. This is about experiencing safety and connection in a way that words alone can’t achieve.
I use techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and somatic experiencing to tap into those deep, often hidden, memories and sensations stored in your body.
We are going to allow your body and mind to process and integrate these experiences in a way that brings relief and transformation.
We’ll explore inner child work and parts work, where we gently connect with the younger, wounded parts of yourself, offering them the compassion and care they never received.
Throughout this journey, we’ll pay special attention to the ways your trauma shows up in everyday life, helping you to build resilience, self-trust, and a stronger connection to yourself.
