Holistic Trauma Therapy for Relational Healing


You’ve been carrying so much for so long—always showing up, yet feeling unseen, unheard, undervalued. Whether it’s the pain of a romantic relationship, the confusion of a parent’s mixed messages, or the instability of a workplace that praises and punishes in the same breath, it’s exhausting. And you don’t have to hold it alone.


I specialize in relational trauma—those subtle and overt wounds that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Clients often come to me feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed, unsure why familiar tools no longer work. We’ll explore those repeating patterns and emotional injuries in a supportive space, reconnecting you with your own wisdom and self-worth.


What Is Trauma, Really?


Trauma isn’t what happened—it’s how your mind, body, and spirit responded. It can come from a single event or from years of painful experiences. Maybe you feel constantly on edge, have trouble sleeping, or find yourself pulled into “what if” spirals. You might carry shame, grief, or rage you don’t quite understand.


We go at your pace. Together, we’ll build safety through practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and body awareness—supporting you in reclaiming your story and your strength.


Emotional Overwhelm and Anxiety


Maybe you’re tired of being everything to everyone. Maybe the weight of being “not enough” has left you numb, enraged, or completely depleted. I support clients in exploring the roots of those feelings, and we develop tools that feel authentic and empowering. The goal isn’t to suppress emotions—it’s to feel safer expressing them with clarity and compassion.


You’re not broken. You’re becoming. Let’s walk this path together.

About me

Hi, I’m Stacey, a Holistic Trauma Therapist in Chicago


I offer virtual therapy for adults across Illinois who are navigating anxiety, relational challenges, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace and pressure of modern life.


Before starting my own practice, I spent years in large psychiatric settings. While those experiences deepened my clinical skills, they also revealed how often traditional systems overlook the emotional, somatic, and energetic aspects of healing. That disconnect inspired me to create a more integrated, values-aligned space—one where you’re supported not just as a diagnosis, but as a whole, complex human being.


My approach is warm, collaborative, and attuned to the relational roots of distress. Most of my clients come in feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, unsure why past tools haven’t worked. Together, we explore the deeper patterns underneath: how your nervous system adapted to early environments, how pain is stored in the body, and how healing is possible through both insight and embodied safety.


In addition to my clinical training, I integrate somatic awareness, parts work, and energy psychology into the therapeutic space. I believe transformation happens when we meet the mind, body, and spirit with compassion and curiosity—and I’m honored to walk that path with those ready for meaningful change.
