I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal.
In this economy, money can be hard to come by. You deserve efficient counseling rather than drawn out, costly therapies. In addition to offering conventional therapy options, I am also a Certified EMDR Therapist. EMDR is a fast acting, empirically-supported psychotherapy endorsed by the APA, VA, and DOD.

Whether it happened to you, around you, and/or in you it happened. Life is a contact-sport and we need to be as whole as we can in order to get the most out of it. But many times it's difficult to do alone. Whether it's naming the problem, describing the issue, adjusting to how it has shaped you, or creating a new you after; you don't have to do it alone. Whether it's recovery from childhood pains, managing emotional difficulties, recovering from devastating losses, or reclaiming identity after trauma; therapy is incredibly helpful as you are given a navigator-companion, that walks through the dark with you to get to the light.

You’ve been holding everything together for everyone else for a long time, but lately it’s catching up with you. You might feel burned out, on autopilot, or unsure who you are outside of work, caregiving, and old expectations. A part of you knows something has to change, but you may feel unsure where to start or how to do it. I help adults, often in midlife, untangle what’s not working, get clear on what they actually want, and take honest, doable steps toward a life that fits them better.

Trauma informs how we relate in the world and can be complex, confusing, and painful with multiple layers. Coping or trying to cope with trauma is challenging, interfering with what most consider "normal life activities." Its hard to explain to others who do not understand and who have never experienced something that "rocked" their world in a disturbing, sometimes literally life threatening way. When there has been any degree of trauma, what was is no longer and what is frightens, disorients us. Behaviors, thinking, feelings change in the shadow of trauma. There is help available and you are not alone. Recovery is possible.

Currently accepting new clients! I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating the ups and downs of life. I believe each person is unique and deserves to tell their story. Trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues can influence functioning and inhibit our ability to navigate life and show up for ourselves in positive ways. Through examining ourselves, our relationships, and our pasts, I believe we can gain insight into why we behave certain ways. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space that can aid in allowing you to feel heard; so that change or acceptance for where you are can occur.

Life can take us to places we don't want to go, and give us an education for which we did not want to pay. I understand this and can help you navigate life's uncertainties. I have assisted clients learn to love themselves, find the resources they need, and heal from the situations life brings to us. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental safe place to explore, process, and heal. You might not feel like it, but you are stronger than you know. I will be your biggest cheerleader, your advocate, your support in times of stress. I will also challenge the old ways of thinking and doing things.

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
