In addition to treating symptoms from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health conditions, I specialize in Reproductive & Perinatal Health, Infant Mental Health, and
Trauma

There are many reasons why therapy can be helpful. Facing overwhelming emotional experiences, living with traumatic memories, or simply not feeling yourself are all good reasons to seek help. These experiences often cause people to feel isolated and alone. Sometimes it results in an individual having feelings, thoughts, or behaviors that are scary or overwhelming. Therapy allows an individual to form a collaborative and trusting professional relationship with a skilled clinician who accepts you as you are and supports your path towards growth, change, and healing.

I am an EMDR trained
trauma
therapist with experience in addictions, marriage and family, self harm, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder.
I feel disconnected and alone. I don't have anyone around that really understands my problem. I don't want to burden my friends and family with my concerns. I'm worried someone will judge me if I tell them the truth. Have you had some of these thoughts? Fear of being judged or burdensome keeps a lot of people from finding the help they want.

I provide compassionate care through a
trauma
-informed lens utilizing brainspotting, cognitive behavioral therapy, intuitive eating principles, shame resilience work, and most importantly, the restorative connection of the therapeutic relationship.
Are you weighed down by “doing it all” and always left feeling like it’s not quite enough? Do you often feel overwhelmed and exhausted? Whether it’s parenting struggles, food and body concerns, relationship difficulties, past wounds, or all of the above, the demands of our lives can leave us frazzled and empty. Without focusing on our needs and caring for ourselves, we can become burned out, anxious, and lost. We repeat patterns of behavior in our relationships that don’t serve us anymore and keep us stuck.

Whether in person or online, I use an integrative approach of Art Therapy, CBT, and Talk Therapy in my work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in the healing power of art and creative self expression in ways that are beyond verbal articulation. You do not need to be an artist or creatively inclined in order to participate in Art Therapy. Rather, be open to the process of artmaking as a path to aid you in your healing journey. I use a
trauma
informed lens and person centered approach to my practice. Therapy is a collaborative process and I value your voice, thoughts, and emotions during our time together.

, substance abuse, gray drinking in many different capacities.
Therapy is only as good as your relationship with your therapist. You want to find someone you feel comfortable sharing everything with because if you hold back how can you move towards healing? Therapy is shown to be effective not by how many credentials a person has but their ability to connect with their clients. There is nothing worse leaving your first session not wanting to come back and then feeling exhausted and apprehensive trying to find another therapist. I encourage you to reach out to the therapist to see if you like their vibe.

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.
