Trauma is linked to anxiety, depression, and relationship problems (Bessel, 2021).
You probably have tried therapy in the past but continue to feel stuck, anxious, or depressed. Trauma therapy is not about understanding what happened; in fact, talking about it can be retraumatizing (Bessel 2020). Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk is a world-renowned trauma researcher and author of “The Body Keeps the Score,” a New York Times bestseller for years.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I have been trained in trauma-focused CBT with specialties in PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and Interpersonal Relationships.
Our individual experiences play a role in shaping our personalities, how we see the world, and how we view ourselves. My goal is to help increase your self-awareness through self-exploration and world-exploration. This approach requires openmindedness, flexibility, and hard work. As a poet, I take a creative approach to nearly all I do, particularly therapy. Life is all about balance and therapy can be emotionally draining work. So I like to make therapy as fun and interesting as possible. I love working with people who are willing to learn, are open to trying new things, who want to grow and like to have fun in the process.

I am best trained to serve clients who are ready to explore and heal from the impacts of trauma, including those struggling with co-dependency, substance abuse, and ADHD.
I believe healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and truly understood. I know recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially when addiction, ADHD, co-dependency, and deep-rooted trauma are in the mix. I approach therapy with compassion, honesty, and a trauma-informed lens, knowing that behaviors often make sense once the full story is understood.
