Childhood Trauma Therapy
Brentwood, TN & online across TN & FL
“I keep repeating relationship patterns I don’t like.”
“I lack self-confidence.”
“I’m not valuable unless I’m doing something for someone else.”
Enough is enough.
These negative beliefs need to stop holding you back from living.
Maybe you’re tired of these negative beliefs running the show, or perhaps you spend hours thinking about how you messed up at work or said the wrong thing in a relationship. You may be feeling paralyzed by guilt, but can’t name what you actually did wrong. You are feeling confused, depressed and not sure you are even worthy of love.
Whatever it is, you’re noticing the impact on every faucet in your life:
You never feel like you are good enough
You are always striving or people pleasing
You stay in unhealthy relationships because you fear being alone
You ruminate on conversations long after they are over
You constantly question if you are “okay” in your relationships — even long-term ones
You are afraid to let anyone see the real you, for fear that they will leave
Those fears are real, but with compassion as our guide, let’s get to the root cause of those fears.
We will sort through the voices of your past, learn to re-parent those younger, fearful parts and be able to show up as the confident adult you long to be.
say goodbye to not feeling good enough.
Therapy with me can help you:
recognize your value (without doing anything!)
identify & uphold boundaries
accept that you are human & mistakes are OKAY
learn to take care of your own needs & wants
learn self-regulation & balance
connect with yourself & others
What it’s like to work with us:
In our sessions together, compassion will be our guide.
Digging deep into the impact childhood trauma has on your life is an investment into your future self and the life you deserve.
We will explore the narratives you internalized as a child, celebrate your strength & resilience and grow compassion for the younger parts of you that developed as a way to survive.
Along the way, you’ll process the trauma through Brainspotting, which will allow your whole body and mind to work together to integrate the experiences, be less activated and gain clarity.
You’ll gain the tools to hold yourself with compassion, re-parent your inner child, listen to their fears, and show up for them as the emotionally mature parent they never had.
I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to childhood trauma therapy comes from a place of hope and belief that you don’t have to be stuck in the past. There is a way forward.
It is time to get in touch with your authentic self, not who you were expected to be your entire life.

Stop feeling stuck in the past

04

…then let’s get to work.
because, At the end of the day:

This life-changing work is an investment of time, energy & finances. The process takes about a year to fully explore your unique story and gain tools to help re-parent yourself. Participating in a Childhood Trauma Therapy Intensive around the 3 month mark is highly recommended as part of this work.

Nope. Talk therapy only gets us so far. We will incorporate Brainspotting, a brain-body trauma therapy modality into sessions. This allows your brain to process & integrate the physical & emotional experiences into your system as a whole. You get to talk as much or as little as you’d like. I’m always here to witness what you want to have said aloud, but you’ll never have to talk about what you don’t want to talk about.
-
Our work together will be most effective if you have these things in place: self awareness & insight, a support system, a practice of body awareness of when you are activated, self-regulation skills, and a practice of self-compassion.
