Reconnect to Your Voice, Your Body, and Your Truth
Trauma Therapy for Women in California
You may have learned to survive by staying small—by making others comfortable, avoiding conflict, and quieting your own needs to stay safe. But that kind of existence takes a toll.
It can make you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of who you are anymore. Maybe you know your patterns. You’ve done the inner work. You’re self-aware. But things still feel stuck—and you’re tired of trying to think your way into change.
I believe that you're here because you’re ready to feel confident in your own skin. To trust yourself deeply. To stop past trauma from influencing your current life. To navigate relationships without abandoning yourself. And to live from your truth—every day.
This is the kind of transformation that my therapy can support. I'm trained in the NeuroAffective Relational Model and blend relational, depth-oriented therapy with somatic and mindfulness-based practices. Together, we work with the emotional and body-level patterns that keep you stuck, so real change becomes possible.
Hi, I'm Samantha.
If you’ve ever felt like your emotions were too much or lost trust in yourself after years of adapting or putting others first — I see you. For years, I shaped myself around what others needed, silenced my inner voice, and felt responsible for everyone else’s emotions. I replayed conversations, questioned my worth, and disappeared in relationships — all while looking “fine” on the outside.
But eventually, something deep in me said: no more. I chose to stop abandoning myself. I chose sovereignty over sacrifice, authenticity over approval. Through deep inner work, I began to honor my rhythms, reclaim my power, and live from the truth I had always carried inside.
Now, I help others do the same. This work is more than insight. It’s integration. It’s not just knowing your patterns — it’s learning to shift them in your body, your relationships, and your everyday life.
If you're ready to stop living for everyone else and start living from your truth, let’s connect.
