Therapy for Trauma, Grief & Relationships
Making Sense of Patterns
The ways we respond to life often develop for a reason. Experiences within families and relationships, particularly when they have been unpredictable or harmful, as well as loss, trauma, illness, or other difficult circumstances can influence how we see ourselves, what we expect from others, and how we respond when something feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Therapy can help you better understand those connections and what may be contributing to what you’re experiencing today. Together, we can look at what’s happening in your life now and where there may be opportunities to respond differently.
Understanding What’s Been Shaping You
I provide virtual individual therapy for adults in New York and Connecticut experiencing trauma, grief, anxiety, and the impact of difficult, emotionally harmful, or abusive relationships.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes something specific has happened. Other times, it’s harder to understand why things feel the way they do. You may notice familiar patterns repeating, feel overwhelmed by anxiety, struggle in relationships, or realize that ways of coping that once helped are no longer working in the same way.
It’s Rarely Just One Thing
What brings you to therapy may not fit neatly into one category. Anxiety can exist alongside grief. Experiences within difficult or abusive relationships can affect how you feel about yourself, connect with others, and respond to what is happening in your life now. Chronic illness, caregiving, reproductive or midlife health experiences, and unexpected transitions can also affect how you see yourself, your relationships, and the future.
You don't have to decide which part matters most before you begin. Therapy gives us the opportunity to explore how the different parts of your experience may connect and decide together where to begin.
Getting Started
