Clients most often seek services with me to address sexual abuse/assault, intimate partner abuse, alcohol and drug issues, family conflict, parenting, separation and loss, secondary trauma, stress, and emotional regulation related to depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Look, I’ve been through it, still going through it, and want to help you through it too. As a therapist with my own therapist, I have come to the conclusion that self-care is more than bubble baths and face masks. Another form of self-care is talking with a therapist. I became a caregiver at an early age and lost my brother to addiction. I wished he had a safe space to lay down his inner world. My past brought me here to help you. My insight into dysfunctional families is drawn not only from personal experience but also from having helped other families and individuals discover peace within chaos.

I have found the most profound and effective way to heal from trauma and grief is to have your pain witnessed in a safe and supportive environment.
EMDR is a psychotherapy which allows people to heal from symptoms of distress resulting from painful life experiences. Some of these may be the result of trauma, divorce, unresolved grief, accidents, physical or sexual assaults/abuse. EMDR usually does not take as long as traditional "talk therapy" for some resolution to occur. www.emdr.com

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.
