I help women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or lost—often because they care for others and people-please at their own expense. If you are wishing the thinking would stop so you can sleep... if you're tired and overwhelmed, with endless demands, often feeling unseen, you are not alone.
It’s okay to pause and let yourself take part in your own life, one step at a time. Here in this therapy space, we come together, light the lantern, and shake off what holds you back so you can take the next step that will take you closer to how you want to live.For me, therapy includes your body, inherited sorrows and strengths, and your connections.

Greta is a passionate therapist who provides an authentic, honest and trusting space where life's experiences can be shared. I work from the biopsychosocial model of health, which is essentially looking at how our biology (for example, genetics, physiology, physical injury), psychological factors (for example, emotions, beliefs, temperament), social factors (for example, cultural background, social support, family dynamics) interact.

I help women untangle trauma patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and rebuild identity after burnout, people-pleasing, or relational pain.
You’re the strong one. High-functioning, self-aware, always showing up for others — but quietly battling burnout, self-doubt, and anxious relationships. You crave boundaries, clarity, and deeper self-trust. You want to stop spiraling in your head and start feeling safe in your body and relationships. You're not broken — you're exhausted from surviving. You want to feel steady, empowered, and finally free of patterns that no longer serve you — in love, work, and within yourself.

When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
