C-PTSD Trauma therapy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

You are not too much

and you are not Less than.

You don’t have to carry it all anymore.

You’re the one everyone leans on—at work, at church, in your family. You smile, show up, give, serve. But inside? It’s chaos.

Just getting through the day feels like dragging sandbags behind you. Everything is so heavy. You’re constantly pushing through, doing what’s expected, showing up like you have it together—because that’s what people assume. You feel like you can’t afford to fall apart. But inside? You already are.

You spiral over something someone said—or the way they said it. You replay the moment over and over, wondering why it hurt so much. You tell yourself they probably didn’t mean it that way… but then why does it feel like a punch in the gut?

Sometimes your body betrays you. Tight chest, racing heart, panic rising. Or you shut down completely and disappear into numbness. You try to pray harder, quote Scripture, push through. But all that does is make the obsessive loops worse. You wonder where God is in all this—and why healing still feels out of reach.

You ask your partner, “Are we okay?” again and again. You overexplain, overthink, people-please, shut down, rage. You try to act “normal,” but inside you’re just trying to survive.

The voice in your head says you're too much, not enough, unsafe, unlovable. You’re terrified someone might see the real mess inside and walk away. So you keep performing. Smiling. Giving. Until you’re empty.

But the cost? Is your peace, your identity, your hope.

Sound like you?

You overthink nearly everything at times.

You find yourself making critical judgements of yourself and how you should be less faulty.

You feel anxious a lot and sometimes want to hide or numb-out with food or another vice of choice, or you try to over-compensate and prove yourself to some imagined standard of perfection.

You feel insecure and unsafe around certain people and in certain situations and are tired of having to be so brave just to live your life.

Here’s what we’ll do together

You don’t have to “perform” for me.

My Approach to Trauma Healing

You don’t have to show up “put together” in my space. You don’t even have to make sense. Just come as you are—and I’ll meet you there.

I create a trauma-informed, judgment-free space where nothing about you is “too much.” I listen deeply, with compassion, and help you gently untangle the emotional chaos—at your pace, in your way.

I use a blend of EMDR, somatic practices, and parts work, always centered around what feels right for you. Whether you want to include your faith in the process or not, this space honors your story, your pace, and your pain.

This is about whole-person healing—body, mind, heart, and spirit.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

Your healing matters—and you don’t have to perform to get it.

It’s not your fault.

What we’ll work on

Imagine a life where…

Imagine a Different Way

  • Imagine what it would be like to wake up and feel calm—not just in your body, but in your mind.
    No spirals. No shame. No pretending.

  • You speak with confidence because you know who you are. You’re grounded. Whole. Real. And for the first time maybe ever, you don’t feel the need to apologize for it.

  • You let go of what isn’t yours to carry. You stop replaying conversations. You learn how to calm your system, not just suppress it. You trust yourself again—and begin to trust others too.

  • And maybe most beautifully?
    You see how God never left. You see how this whole time, He’s been guiding you toward healing.

Change is possible.

FAQs

  • Yes. It looks different for each person, but trauma really can be healed. It is not a “quick” fix, but it is a worthwhile one for all of the ways you will be able to get your life back or get started on the one you deserved to have all along. And, you can start feeling better as soon as the first session.

  • Honestly, you can’t…at least not without meeting me and experiencing that I am trustworthy, and I wouldn’t want you to without trying me out. I do my best to be a trustworthy person, but I have to earn your trust; it doesn’t just happen….especially when you have felt unsafe with others in your past.

    I can promise that I will never hurt you intentionally and do my best to do no harm, and that we can talk about whatever needs to be discussed if there ever is a need to work through something together.

  • This is a common fear, and the truth is that you can’t do your own therapy “wrong.” There are somethings that can help you to get the best results such as letting me know your needs and concerns as you are able. However, we will work together to attend to the things that will work best for you and your particular needs and situation. You just come as you, and we will figure out how to help you reach your goals together.
