Maybe the stable ground of your life has suddenly fallen apart...the world you've relied on and found comfort in is now unpredictable, scary, too big to handle, and you don't know which way to turn. Or maybe life has felt this way for quite some time - you're struggling in your daily affairs, not really comfortable in your relationships, often seeking escape from big emotions and that incessant inner critic, and wondering why you never received "life's little instruction book" like everyone else around you.

I specialize in mental health counseling for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing life stress, trauma and PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and depression.
Life can be unpredictable, and at times, the support we need may feel limited. Seeking support is a strength, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself openly, gain insight, and work toward meaningful change. Most importantly, I want our sessions to be a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and finding the right counselor can make a meaningful difference.

I utilizes IFS, play therapy, EMDR and is trauma informed.
Your child doesn’t have words for this yet. Sometimes, a big emotion takes over, producing yelling or angry behaviors, and they can’t stop. Ask what is wrong, and you get a shrug, a shout, or silence. You're left reading the behavior for clues, because the behavior is the only message getting through. You have tried talking, consequences, rewards, and telling them to calm down. Meanwhile, you can still see the kid underneath, the one who is loving and funny and thoughtful when nothing has overwhelmed them yet. That child is right there. The gap between what your child can do and what your child can say is the whole problem.

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.
