We don’t have to start with feelings. In fact, you can process trauma without even sharing the details. Sometimes just labeling what's been keeping your body stuck in survival mode can be frustrating. Maybe your struggles don’t meet diagnostic criteria, or maybe you’ve just hit a breaking point with stress. Therapy should feel supportive, not like you’re being sent to the principal’s office. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship that becomes part of your broader support system, one where you can explore difficult topics without the bias or baggage that sometimes comes from friends, family, or partners.

Being human guarantees a range of feelings and thoughts, some of which are beautiful and light, others of which are heavy or scary. Sometimes it's hard to see the way ahead or feel like you could move toward it if you did see it. We seek to manage emotions in ways that end up getting us more stuck rather than less so. As one comes in contact with these internal experiences, both inside and outside of the therapy room, I help my clients to respond in new ways that take them closer to their most deeply cherished values. The answers you ultimately need are mostly within you already, if we look in the right places.

Waitlist for new clients
My clients are looking for a different type of therapy. They wish for a more enlivened and interactive approach that engages beyond words and captures the heart of one's struggle and yearning to break free. My clients oftentimes feel lost, plagued with chronic anxiety, depression, or anger, and stuck in a rigidified experience of themselves. They toggle between a tired set of coping mechanisms and the fear and distrust of branching out into the new. My work cradles the middle: lovingly chipping away at the hardened barriers while welcoming in steady, free, authentic expression. All held steadily with compassion.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.
What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilization, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling.
How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.
What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
