You may be fed up with the ways that trauma, depression or anxiety, feeling that they rule your life. It can be a challenge to have hope when getting out of bed can be a task, or when family and friends don’t seem to understand. You might not even remember a time when things felt normal. And you’re ready for a change. You want to feel relief & start to enjoy life again. More than anything, you want to fall in love with yourself and to build better relationships with others. My goal is to help children, adults, couples & families to do just that.

You may be feeling that the world is closing in on you, because life's pressures are so overwhelming, and you're ready for a change. Panic attacks, anxiety, trauma, or your relationships may be getting the best of you, or you are struggling to help your child manage feelings of anxiety. It feels that your relationships or even life in general could use an overhaul, because the challenges you have faced are beyond what you expected. You know that feeling better is possible, but you forget what feeling good is like. More than anything, you no longer want to do it alone, and you are ready to bring peace & calm into your life.

As a beginning therapist, my goal is not only to learn to help others in every way that I can, but to be a sounding board for those who struggle with their identity, who have been silenced in their lives, and have been looking for a caring person to turn to. In the journey of 1000 miles, the first 500 are often taking the step to seek the help that one needs, and I have experience in helping people who are having difficulties in life with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, family medical diagnoses, and other challenging areas.

I have worked with problematic sexual behaviors and physician boundary issues for over a decade and have a passion for helping clients find answers. Often the behavior is not the issue but the client's reaction to the behavior or there are underlying reasons for why they are engaging in maladaptive behaviors. Each client is unique and the issue is often about unmet needs for nurturing, control, power, love and connection. Helping clients find the answers, their resiliency, and improve their healthy sexuality is an amazing part of the work that we do together.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists

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.
