Trauma Therapy in Richmond, VA
Reclaim Your Voice After the Silence
You’ve carried so much for so long—quietly.
You’ve pushed through, kept it together, and tried to leave the past in the past. But the weight of it all still lingers. Maybe it shows up as anxiety, disconnection, or a sense that something inside you never fully exhaled. You're not broken, and you're not alone.
I offer trauma therapy virtually in Richmond, VA for women and LGBTQ+ folks who are ready to stop living in survival mode and start reconnecting with who they truly are.
Even if you can’t point to a single “big” event, trauma can live in your body like a quiet hum. It’s often shaped by what didn’t happen or what you needed and never received.
You might notice:
You feel on edge, but can’t always explain why
You struggle to relax, even in safe situations
You often second-guess yourself or feel like you're "too much"
You keep people at a distance—while still craving deep connection
You’re exhausted from always holding it together
It’s not weakness. It’s a nervous system that’s been working overtime to protect you.
What Trauma Can Feel Like
What Working Together Looks Like
We’ll move at your pace. This space is yours to be seen and supported.
My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and centered around the belief that you don’t need to be “fixed”—you need to be witnessed, honored, and gently guided back to yourself.
We might use art, movement, metaphor, or simply words—whatever feels most natural to you. We’ll track not just what happened then, but what’s happening in your body and relationships now. And we’ll make room for both grief and growth.
How I Can Help
Healing from trauma doesn’t mean reliving every detail. It means making space for your story without judgment—and learning to feel safe in your body again.
As a trauma-informed therapist and art therapist, I weave together traditional talk therapy with somatic work, parts work (IFS), and creative expression to help you:
Feel more grounded and less reactive
Understand and soften harsh inner voices
Reconnect with parts of yourself you had to hide
Build relationships where you don’t have to perform or prove
Trust that your needs matter—without guilt
You're allowed to stop performing. You're allowed to rest. You're allowed to heal.
Why I Specialize in Trauma Therapy
I do this work because I believe healing is possible—and because I’ve seen how powerful it is when someone finally gets to feel safe.
I’ve worked with high-achieving women, queer folks, and survivors of complex childhood trauma who’ve spent years trying to outpace their past. They didn’t need to be told what was “wrong” with them—they needed space to understand how they adapted, and how to come back to themselves.
Your story matters. Not because it defines you, but because it deserves to be held with care.
You don’t have to keep holding it all in.
I offer trauma therapy online in Richmond, VA for those ready to move from survival into deeper healing. You don’t have to do this alone.
