Betrayal Trauma & Old Wounds

Healing after broken trust · Online in California

When someone you trusted breaks that trust, it can shake the ground beneath you. And sometimes it’s older wounds, ones you thought you’d moved past, that keep finding their way back. You don’t have to carry either alone.

You might be…

  • Reeling after discovering infidelity, deception, or a hidden addiction
  • Replaying what happened, struggling to sleep, or feeling constantly on alert
  • Doubting your own judgment or your sense of what’s real
  • Unsure whether to stay, leave, or how to even begin deciding
  • Noticing childhood or family wounds surfacing in your relationships now
  • Feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way

Betrayal often brings real trauma responses, like shock, hypervigilance, and intrusive thoughts. These are normal reactions to a deep injury, not signs that you’re overreacting.

How we’ll work together

As a trauma-informed therapist with training in EMDR and TF-CBT, I’ll help you steady your nervous system, make sense of what happened, and reconnect with your own voice and judgment.

We’ll go at your pace. You’ll never be pushed to make decisions about your relationship before you’re ready. Our focus is on you: your healing, your clarity, and rebuilding a steady sense of self that doesn’t depend on anyone else’s choices.

If older wounds are part of the picture, we’ll gently look at the family patterns and experiences that shaped you, so they hold less power over your life today.
