Complex Trauma / CPTSD Therapy
for Women in Coral Gables and Online in Florida
If you’re ready to start therapy, you deserve a therapist who understands the depth of what you’ve been carrying. Many of the women I work with have already tried therapy before and felt like something was missing. They felt unheard, misunderstood, or like their experience was being oversimplified.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and paced to meet you where you are. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly understands complex trauma, you’re in the right place.
Who CPTSD Therapy Is For
I work with women who are ready for therapy and want a therapist who understands trauma deeply. Many have already done some work before, but it didn’t quite click. They may have left sessions feeling like they had to explain too much, minimize too much, or do the emotional labor of helping the therapist understand what they were carrying.
If that’s been your experience, therapy can feel different here.
Why clients come to me
A lot of my clients come to me after trying therapy that didn’t fully fit. They know they want support, but they also know they need someone who gets trauma, not just the symptoms on the surface, and offers more than CBT exercises.
Clients often tell me I’m the first therapist who really understood what they were dealing with. For many women, that alone can feel relieving. When you’ve spent so long feeling misunderstood, being accurately seen can be the beginning of healing.
What complex trauma can look like
Complex trauma can show up in many ways. You might:
-
Feel like you’re always on edge.
-
Shut down when things get too overwhelming.
-
Struggle with shame, self-doubt, or harsh inner criticism.
-
Find relationships exhausting or unpredictable.
-
Feel like you’re “too much” in some situations and invisible in others.
-
Carry a deep sense that something is wrong, even if you can’t always name it.
It's time to stop trying harder and instead start trying something different.
FAQs
How does therapy help?
In therapy, we work together to understand what you have been through and how it is still showing up in your life now. Depending on what you need, that may include building safety, recognizing patterns, strengthening boundaries, and helping you feel more grounded and connected to yourself. I draw from trauma-informed TIR, DBT, and somatic therapy to support healing in a way that is thoughtful, gentle, and attuned to your pace.
TIR can be especially helpful for processing trauma and integrating painful memories so they feel less overwhelming and more manageable over time. We do not have to rush your healing. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what has felt overwhelming, and build tools that help you feel more steady and supported over time.
What if past therapy didn’t work for me?
If you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help, that does not mean therapy can’t help you. More often, it means the fit wasn’t right.
You may not have needed more effort. You may have needed a therapist who understood trauma more clearly, listened more closely, and could meet you in a way that felt more accurate and supportive.
Do you offer virtual therapy in Florida?
Yes. I see clients in person in Coral Gables and virtually across Florida.
What would working together feel like?
My goal is for you to feel understood, respected, and safe enough to do meaningful work. Therapy with me is a space where you do not have to prove how much you’ve been through. You do not have to make your pain sound smaller. You do not have to perform healing.
We can focus on what has been hard, what is possible now, and what healing looks like for you.
