Trauma
Virtual therapy in Virginia and Illinois
"I want you to get to a place where there’s more understanding—where you feel both a sense of control and the freedom to just be."
- Angela Conner-Junious, LPC, LCPC
You’re stuck in the aftermath…
Trauma shows up in ways you don’t expect—big emotions that explode out of nowhere… or freezing up, reactions that leave you wondering “why did I do that?”
Relationships feel tricky, like you’re stuck in a cycle you’re trying to fight out of. Little triggers set off your day, and some moments make it feel like your life isn’t even yours.
You’re ready to stop being overtaken by what happened to you… but those self-help books and relatable social media pages only help so much.
Picture finally taking back control…
You’re noticing you don’t explode at your partner, kids, or coworkers over tiny stuff—or go radio silent—and it actually feels like you are choosing how to respond.
Even the everyday chaos—traffic, dishes, emails—doesn’t steal your mood or overwhelm you.
And finally, little sparks of joy start popping up in the most unexpected places—singing in the shower, laughing at a dumb meme, or actually savoring your morning coffee instead of chugging it for fuel.
Life doesn’t feel like a constant battle—because you’re finally feeling alive in your own story.
I’m here to walk beside you through this.
You’ve probably been white-knuckling it through life for a while—holding it all together on the outside while feeling like you’re falling apart on the inside. I get it, carrying the weight of old wounds impacts your every day.
I use a tailored-to-you grounded, practical approach (CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused tools) to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and learn how to heal and move through it.
Together, we’ll help you feel safe in your body, confident in your choices, and ready to start living instead of just surviving.
Who this type of therapy is for:
→ Teens to adults who’ve experienced difficult or painful events that still impact how they feel or react today.
→ People who get hit with big emotions out of nowhere—anger, sadness, fear—that’s impacting their work, relationships, and daily life.
→ Those who feel “too sensitive” or like they’re constantly on edge, waiting for something bad to happen.
→ Anyone who’s tired of replaying the past, people-pleasing, or shutting down just to keep the peace.
→ Folks ready to stop letting what happened to them define who they are—and start feeling grounded, safe, and in control again.
