I work with individuals navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and a range of other mental health concerns and I deeply respect the courage it takes to reach out.
My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we’ll learn how to make space for difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward the life you want to live. Rather than trying to “fix” or eliminate pain, we focus on changing your relationship with it so it no longer runs the show.

You may be fed up with anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that convinces you nothing will ever change, grief that has no clear end, or trauma that has shaped the way you see yourself and the world.

Sessions with me are real and transformative; we'll talk, laugh, and sometimes cry, all while doing the kind of deep work that actually creates meaningful change.

You have a story and it matters. Does your story feel buried under everything you have been dealing with? Maybe you have experienced loss: death; end of a relationship; infertility; or loss of feeling safe. Maybe you’ve never felt like you truly fit, and you’re tired of masking, managing, and surviving. You don’t need to be fixed—you need to feel seen. It’s time to reclaim your voice and begin a chapter that finally feels like you.

Working with all ages from children to adults, my practice is rooted in trauma focused therapeutic techniques as well as a strengths-based perspective.
You’ve survived more than most people know but you're struggling with anxiety or depression that won't go away, flashbacks, interrupted sleep patterns, or a deep sense of disconnection from yourself or others. You might feel stuck in patterns like active avoidance, getting overwhelmed easily, or shutting down emotionally. Perhaps a painful life event from your past is affecting your present and you don't know how to shake it. In therapy, we’ll work together to gently explore emotional regulation techniques, external triggers, and shift patterns that no longer serve you. You’ll be heard, seen, and supported every step of the way.

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.
