Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.

We offer trauma therapy that is gentle, attuned, and rooted in the belief that healing happens in safe, connected spaces. Using approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and compassion-focused care, we’ll work together to restore a sense of wholeness—helping you reconnect with your story, your strengths, and the parts of you that are ready to heal. This isn’t about reliving your pain—it’s about releasing it, and finding your way back to yourself.

If you’ve experienced something that left a mark—whether recently or long ago—and you find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or easily triggered, trauma therapy might be the next right step.

Trauma doesn’t always look like one big event. Sometimes, it’s a buildup of moments where your needs weren’t met, your voice wasn’t heard, or your safety—emotional or physical—was compromised. Maybe you’ve learned to cope by staying busy, staying quiet, or staying numb.

You don’t have to keep surviving like this.

At Becoming to Belong Counseling, we offer a safe, compassionate space to begin untangling what’s felt too heavy to hold alone. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of betrayal, childhood wounds, abuse, or other painful experiences, healing is possible. Together, we can explore your story at your pace—gently, respectfully, and without judgment.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to begin.

Therapy is a journey—one that unfolds at your pace, with compassion, curiosity, and care. In our work together, you can expect a space that’s grounded in safety, where you're not rushed to "fix" anything but instead invited to gently explore what’s beneath the surface.

We’ll begin by getting to know your story—what’s weighing on you, what you long for, and where you’ve felt stuck. Over time, we’ll uncover patterns, build awareness, and develop tools that help you relate differently to your pain, your past, and your potential. I’ll guide the process with a blend of existential and compassion-focused approaches, helping you navigate questions of meaning, identity, and self-worth, while offering practical ways to soothe your nervous system and reconnect with your inner resilience.

This isn't about perfection or performing—it's about becoming more deeply, freely, and honestly yourself.
