As a heartfelt, trauma informed counselor, I believe in the power of empathy and genuine connection to facilitate positive change in individuals' lives.
Life can be incredibly overwhelming, filled with stress and anxiety. Despite outward appearances of strength, your inner dialogue may feel relentless, constantly highlighting your perceived shortcomings. It can feel like you're suffocating under the weight of these thoughts, yet you hesitate to express your true feelings for fear of judgment or altered perceptions from those around you. Amid this struggle, you may feel isolated, adrift, and uncertain about your identity, desires, and how to improve your relationships and overall well-being.

Using specialized techniques that release traumatic memory you may find relief in just a few sessions.
Intuition may have led you here not because you know exactly what is wrong, but because something doesn't feel right. I look forward to guiding you back to the health you seek. You are not broken or "damaged" by trauma, abuse, or relationship fracture, you have just lost your way. You know this because anxiety, depression and self doubt have shown up like a relentless storm threatening to capsize you. Sadly, this may even be at its worst within a relationship that should offer nurturing and growth but instead is toxic and painful. I can help you create your life worth living, and thrive in it.

Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for single incident trauma and skills training for interpersonal and affective regulation (STAIR) for chronic abuse, Trauma focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior (DBT) and Cognitive behavior (CBT) therapies and Relational Constructivism for grief/loss.
When we struggle to make sense of our experiences (due to depression, anxiety, grief/loss, abuse/ trauma, relational conflicts or new life stressors), we may seek any semblance of control over our situation, grasping for understanding of all the "whys" or seeking resolution/answers to pacify the "what if's." Simultaneously, sense-making may seem inaccessible or impossible. At times, we need someone to hold on to the hope, cultivate space for us to explore & express our story while also learning new tools to navigate. I use a relational, trauma-focused and empathic approach, curiously asking questions while also empowering clients.

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.
