Trauma therapy for childhood trauma

Hi, I’m Kyrsti.

You’re self-aware. You’ve done therapy. You’ve built coping skills, reflected on your past, maybe even had some breakthroughs—but deep down, nothing really changes. The same patterns play out in your relationships, self-doubt creeps back in, and you’re left wondering… What am I missing?

Maybe you wouldn’t call your childhood traumatic (or maybe you would), but you’re starting to see how emotionally unavailable, critical, or inconsistent caregivers shaped the way you show up in the world.

I help deep-thinking millennials who’ve tried talk therapy but still feel stuck. Using trauma-focused therapy, we’ll uncover the subconscious wounds, protective patterns, and beliefs keeping you from real change.If you’re ready for therapy that’s real, deep, and unfiltered—with humor, directness, and the occasional curse—I’m your person.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Offering the following online therapies in connecticut:

Couples Therapy

Trauma focused therapy for couples where both or one member has experienced trauma.

Childhood and attachment wounds from the past don’t just disappear—they show up in our closest relationships.

Trauma-focused couples therapy can help you explore and heal past wounds that may be affecting your relationship, creating space for deeper connection, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of safety and understanding with your partner.

trauma therapy

"I’ve done therapy before…so why do I still feel stuck?

If you grew up with emotionally unavailable, critical, or inconsistent caregivers, you likely learned to stay strong, keep the peace, and put yourself last. Now, you may find yourself overthinking, bracing for the worst, or struggling to feel truly safe in relationships.

Insight from talk therapy is valuable, but real change requires deeper trauma work. Through IFS parts work and inner child healing, we’ll uncover the patterns still shaping your present—rewire them, and help you get unstuck so you can break out of fight/flight/freeze.

EMDR therapy

"I’ve tried talk therapy, but I still feel stuck."

You’ve tried talk therapy and are are sick of talking about your past experiences and traumas with seemingly no relief. You don’t need more surface-level coping skills—you’re ready for deeper healing.

EMDR is a scientifically backed trauma therapy that is different from traditional talk therapy. In EMDR your brain does the healing—and the best part? You don’t have to talk about your past in great detail!

    I accept payments by HSA, Credit Card, Debit Card, or cash apps.

    I choose not to panel with insurance to prioritize the best care for my clients.

By remaining independent, I can offer personalized, ethical, and effective therapy without limitations on your care.
