Hello, I’m Trudy
Many of the people I work with have faced complex trauma, often stemming from experiences of emotional neglect, such as not feeling seen or understood during childhood, or growing up in environments where their needs weren’t recognized or met. These early experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how safe we feel in the world. In therapy, we can work together to understand these patterns, not by rushing to change them, but by gently exploring them with care and curiosity.
My approach is grounded in building a supportive therapeutic relationship, fostering trust, and working at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, feeling disconnected, struggling to feel secure in your relationships, or experiencing conflict within your family, we can work together to gently uncover what’s happening for you and why.
With care and patience, we’ll explore ways to nurture and develop greater self-understanding, compassion, and the capacity to build more secure, fulfilling relationships with yourself and others, so that you can move forward with a sense of empowerment and a deeper feeling of safety in the world.
