Therapy for When Trust Feels Impossible

Rebuild trust. Reclaim your voice. Restore your peace. Stop managing the pain. Start healing it—with therapy that gets it.

You’ve always been the one who keeps it together.

The responsible one. The caretaker. The one who can read the room before you even enter it.

 

At first, it felt like a strength—your ability to stay ahead, stay calm, stay in control.

But somewhere along the way, it started feeling like a wall.​

Maybe the trust issues came after something specific: a betrayal, a loss, a childhood that didn’t feel safe.

Or maybe they’ve always been there, quietly shaping how you love, connect, protect, and pull away.

You’ve spent years managing it—through overthinking, over-performing, people-pleasing, or shutting down when things get too close.

And now?​

You’re tired of living in survival mode.

You want connection—but don’t fully trust it.

You crave intimacy—but it feels risky.

When Trust Feels Unsafe—But You Still Long for Connection

It’s not just “trust issues.”

It’s the nervous system that’s constantly bracing.

It’s second-guessing yourself, overanalyzing everything you say, and replaying conversations at 2 a.m.

It’s feeling like you’re “too much” and “not enough.”

It’s building walls you don’t want to keep—but don’t feel safe enough to take down.

This pain isn’t random.

It’s a pattern formed from past experiences. And it can shift—with care, attention, and the right support.

What We Can Work on Together

Therapy for trust issues often overlaps with other emotional wounds. Here’s what we might explore together:

  • Rebuilding self-trust after betrayal, gaslighting, or trauma

  • Relationship anxiety and emotional over-functioning

  • Healing from betrayal or infidelity

  • Trust issues in romantic relationships

  • Hyper-independence and control patterns

  • Attachment wounds and abandonment fear

  • Healing from religious or spiritual trauma

  • The pain of always feeling “too much” or “never enough”

  • Overthinking, perfectionism, and emotional shutdown

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

You don’t have to be “ready.” You just have to be curious.

Together, we’ll create a space where it’s safe to feel—without judgment, pressure, or performance.

I use a trauma-informed, relational approach to therapy that centers you—your pace, your preferences, and your process.

Modalities That Support Deep Healing

You don’t have to retell every detail.


EMDR helps your brain reprocess past experiences that feel stuck—so they stop running the show.

It’s especially helpful for childhood trauma, relationship wounds, and anxiety that won’t quit.

For many clients, EMDR provides lasting relief—even after years of talk therapy.

If you’ve had a transformative psychedelic experience, integration helps you explore, ground, and grow from it.

We’ll take the insights seriously—and support whatever came up with care and curiosity.


Whether you’re seeking meaning, closure, or forward movement, integration therapy helps the work take root.

When your brain is wired for hypervigilance, CBT helps you recognize the patterns, challenge the inner critic, and create space for more presence and peace.

It’s not about forcing positivity—it’s about choosing clarity and self-compassion when the old thoughts show up.

You're Not Broken—You're Protected

The walls you built were brilliant.
They were survival.
They made sense.

But now, they’re keeping you from the connection, peace, and self-trust you long for.

You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Rebuild Trust. Reclaim Your Voice. Restore Your Peace.

Start therapy today—with someone who understands the nuance of healing.
