Welcome!
Maybe you’ve felt alone in a crowd, with a nagging sense that you don’t fit in or belong. Maybe you’ve been asked “What are you?” or “Where are you REALLY from?” Maybe you’ve found yourself explaining your family tree, your relationship structure, your disability, your culture, or your identity in an effort to be seen and feel connected.
I love supporting people who are highly self-aware but still find themselves caught in patterns they don’t want to repeat.
You may understand your history. You may know exactly why you react the way you do. But understanding something intellectually doesn’t necessarily mean your body or nervous system have caught up. Therapy can help bridge that gap.
I work with clients who are tired of being defined by what has happened to them and want support in developing a different relationship with their lineage and history. This can include people who have experienced developmental or complex trauma, systemic harm, family rupture, chronic illness, or other experiences that have shaped how safe it feels to trust themselves and others.
I also enjoy working with parents and caregivers of all kinds, including blended and non-traditional families. My background as an educator gives me appreciation for the complexity of caring for others in our current environment while trying to remain true to yourself. I welcome people navigating pregnancy, postpartum experiences (4th trimester), and parenting to explore the many pressures placed on caregivers.
And for people living with chronic illness or disability, I understand how exhausting it can be to navigate a world that expects you to keep performing at a pace your body might not support. Therapy can be a place of ally ship where we explore what it means to build a meaningful life without constantly measuring ourselves against society’s values.
Last, but certainly not least, I find working with couples and people in any kind of relationship to be deeply powerful for addressing our protective patterns and helping us develop our sense of belonging. Sometimes two (or more) people can love each other deeply and still find themselves caught in patterns that make them feel hopeless and isolated. Working together can create an opportunity to slow those patterns down and practice reconnecting in a way that helps each of you feel understood and supported.
A Little More About My Approach
My work is trauma-informed, attachment- and relational-focused. Rather than treating protective patterns as something wrong with you, I help you become curious about what those patterns have been trying to accomplish and whether they are still serving you.
I also see healing as relational and connected to something larger than the individual. We live in an insecure world shaped by our family, culture, community, history, and the systems we live in. Because of this, I am interested not only in your inner world, but also in helping you build the community and interdependence you need to thrive.

My “Big Three” therapeutic focus areas include:
1. Building self-understanding and self-compassion
Together, we’ll get curious about the patterns that have helped you survive and adapt. Understanding yourself more deeply can create room to redirect shame and develop a more compassionate relationship with the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep you safe.
2. Cultivating Interdependence and Community
You weren’t meant to do everything alone. To “pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” I help you explore what meaningful connection looks like for you and develop practical community-building skills. Sometimes the community that works for us isn’t the one we were taught to look for.
3. Attachment and Relational Healing
Relationships are often where our protective patterns show up most clearly. I work with you to develop a felt sense of what secure relating can look and feel like, while creating space to practice communication, boundaries, repair, and authenticity. Therapy itself can become a place to practice being known without having to abandon yourself.

Get to know Trevia:
I am a queer, disabled, multiracial woman with Indigenous ancestors and deepening community roots in North Carolina. Before settling in the local area over a decade ago, I lived in Saudi Arabia, China and Colorado. My lived experiences with different cultures and family structures continue to shape my curiosity about belonging and what it means to create a home.
Outside of therapy, you’ll likely find me reading, learning to sew, playing cozy Switch games, walking on my favorite local trails, falling down a rabbit hole about one of my many interests, or spending time with my loved ones and community members, including my cute Pittie rescue, Indy.
One of the ways I experience the most joy is through gatherings with community. I value collective care, particularly as I navigate life with Long Covid. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for creating a full life and strengthened my commitment to helping others find connection and belonging in ways that are sustainable for them.
Credentials:
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master of Education (M.Ed.), and a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Indigenous Cultural Studies. Before becoming a social worker, I was a licensed massage therapist for more than 15 years.
My ongoing professional education includes training and study in trauma-informed and somatic approaches, attachment and parts work, cultural humility, and anti-racist practice. I have had training with Dr. Ronda Taylor Bullock in Durham, completed Foundations of Somatic Abolitionism, and participated in a year-long guided study group through Rooted focused on the teachings of My Grandmother’s Hands.
I bring a justice-oriented practice as ongoing work rather than a credential that can be completed. I bring curiosity and a willingness to keep learning into the therapeutic relationship.
I also carry the role of “truth storyteller” into my work: staying curious about the stories we inherit, the stories we tell about ourselves, as well as the possibilities that emerge when we begin to tell those stories differently.
