You’ve experienced a great loss or significant
trauma
and your world feels dark and confusing. You feel lost, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, numb, and exhausted – often all at the same time. You’re wondering who you are now and if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I get it. I’ve experienced it. Grief and traumatic stress are messy and unruly, and they definitely don’t obey clearly defined stages or fit neatly into any timeframe. Still, as painful as this is to hear, grief is normal, natural, and necessary. And, healing from a traumatic experience is possible. You don’t have to face either alone. I’d be honored to walk with you.

The term "creative neurocounseling" describes my approach to therapy, which is founded in basic human connection, augmented by our understanding of the brain, and deepened by the practice of creative expression. Verbal language is a critical aspect of our lives, so much so that we can't imagine life without it. But our minds work far beyond the scope of conscious vocabulary - and we can harness that aspect in remarkable ways. My clients are often highly sensitive, highly intelligent folks who struggle with addictions, eating disorders, or other long-term consequences of developmental
trauma
.

I am a Mindfulness-based (Gestalt),
trauma
and attachment focused therapist that specializes in the reconnection of all the parts of ourselves.
Do you find yourself in the same old with your relationships / patterns in love, work, or life? Are you struggling with addictions? Is anxiety or depression out of control and you feel like there is nowhere to go? Maybe you are wrapped in a codependent relationship or a dead-end career? You want so badly for things to change, and you try, but just end up in the same old place/ same old results. Part of you wants to change, part of you does not know how, and part of you just feels the need to blow it up or run away? If you are reading this, I believe you want this to change and you want to just feel whole/ okay.

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.
