I work with people who are struggling with trauma , insomnia, anxiety, depression and substance use.
Life is full of seasons. Some seasons are more turbulent than others. Do you find that you’re losing sleep, or worrying more than usual? Maybe your usual hobbies have taken a backseat, or you’re spending more time alone. You may be struggling with other health issues, or have started ignoring them. Perhaps you've started using substances more often than you'd like to. Or you just don’t understand why no one “gets” you and you wish someone would just try!

I have ample experience working with those suffering from anxiety, depression, transitional and relational challenges, and trauma .
I am so very proud that you are reaching out for help. I know it is a very daunting process to find a therapist that will fit YOUR needs and YOUR situation. Have you been feeling anxious, run-down, or overwhelmed about school, parenting, or family struggles? Have you started to see mood and behavioral changes in your child that have started to affect aspects of their life? Or are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed and out of control during pregnancy or after having your baby? If you found yourself nodding in agreement to any of those questions, I hope that you will reach out to start your own healing.

Are you a busy mom carrying the mental load of being the default parent? Never-ending juggling of everyone’s wants and needs with very little support. No one can quite understand what is on your plate. Unspoken expectations feel unfair and unequal, but you don't complain. It doesn’t mean you don’t love being a Mom. You know you’re blessed and you love them so much it hurts sometimes. The reality is, a person can’t continue like this without the risk of falling apart. And still, you keep moving forward somehow. You’ve heard the sayings: you can’t pour from an empty cup, or you need to put your own mask on first. But, how?

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.
