You’ve done therapy before, but it didn't quite reach the heart of your struggles. The guilt and shame, the triggers, and anxiety are still there. You’re looking for a therapy approach that goes beyond the surface. One that gets to the root of the past trauma(s) and clears a path forward for lasting change. Inside, you feel overwhelmed and uncertain. You want to believe healing is possible, but the thought of revisiting your past trauma feels daunting. A part of you is skeptical: "Will this really work?" The fear of facing your trauma is real, but so is your desire to finally break free from it.
You deserve a life that isn’t defined by your past. In my practice, I am trained to get to the root of those past traumas and uncover their impact on you with specialized, evidence-based therapies for PTSD. I’ll help you peel back the layers of your trauma(s), validating your journey and empowering you with the tools you need for healing, not just "coping."
You don't have to keep carrying this heavy load. We'll gradually unpack it, getting to the core where real change happens. Together, we'll work towards your goal of reclaiming your life, so you can move forward with the confidence and peace you've been searching for. Curious about what trauma therapy could look like for you? Schedule a free consult.

I provide first-line, evidence-based therapy therapies for PTSD: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). CPT helps shift unhelpful trauma-related thoughts, while PE gently helps you face fears so your mind and body can recover. Both have been shown to support long-term recovery and lasting relief.
