I have been able to support individuals who have struggled with trauma (including sexual trauma), self-worth and identity questions, grief, relationship issues and general adjustment to life’s difficulties.
It is with much admiration and respect that I engage with clients in the journey to wellness. As a therapist, I have always believed in the strength of the individual to heal. I have a depth of knowledge in how trauma impacts individuals. It is part of who we are, but doesn’t need to define us. It can be difficult to seek help when things seem overwhelming and that is why I have always tried to create a warm, compassionate and safe environment for clients so they can feel accepted wherever they might be in their journey of self discovery and growth.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

Currently not accepting new clients at this time. Let's be real: between work, relationships, health, ambitions, the future, the world… life can be a lot. Not to mention the pressure to do it all and be it all. Plus you know, ALL the feels. Those small and big transitions, losses, and yes, those feelings you try to ignore or avoid- it's likely grief. How human of you! We (all of us) forget that grief is a universal part of our human experience because we (culture) don't do a good job of normalizing it let alone therapy which exists to remind us we don't have to do this all on our own.

Accepting afternoon appointments! Feeling trapped in your thoughts and emotions? My passion is to help my clients find clarity and feel grounded in these difficult times. I have also noticed that, despite what brings clients to therapy, I especially love to help them work towards fulfilling their hopes and ambitions, rediscovering pleasures (especially those that might have gotten lost during childhood), reconnecting to their bodies through rhythm and movement, and helping heal the inner child who was perhaps forced to grow up too fast.

It is terrifying to think about change. You aren’t living your life to your fullest and you know that you can’t continue living this way. Perhaps discomfort presents itself in a quiet subtle way, maybe it is screaming at you in a voice that you can’t ignore, or maybe it just popped up out of nowhere leaving you confused and asking questions. Your thoughts keep swirling in your head, leaving you with feelings of confusion. Relationships in your life are being impacted and you want nothing more than to find calmness in your life.

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.
