I have a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating both psychoeducation and lifestyle changes aimed at detoxifying ourselves from the socially-isolated, fast-paced, sleep-deprived, high-stress lifestyles we were never designed for.

You never expected to find yourself lying awake at night, worrying about how your child will cope with your divorce. You might be anxious about their transition to a new school, adjusting to a blended family, or wondering why your once-cheerful child now seems irritable and distant. Deep down, you sense that something more profound is troubling them. Despite your best efforts, nothing seems to help. You long for someone who can truly connect with your child, someone who can provide a pathway to healing and invite both of you to walk together on this challenging journey.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, or trauma, counseling is a safe space where you can be seen and heard without judgment.
It’s important to know that seeing a counselor doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. In fact, I believe everyone would benefit from counseling at some point. By looking inward to discover how experiences have impacted you and learning new coping strategies for stressful times, you will be able to more effectively shape your own future.

Life throws obstacles at us and dealing with them alone may be difficult. Throughout my personal and professional journey I had to make decisions and adjustments and take time to reflect in order to grow towards becoming the individual I want to be. I believe that therapy can help you cope with the difficult times and provide a safe space where you can share those moments with me instead of experiencing feelings of helplessness and loneliness. I hope to be the ear and support you may need. It is perfectly normal to hit bumps in life and need assistance in dealing with them.

Struggling with trauma or anxiety can affect every area of your life.
My approach is very different than talk therapy. Using advanced therapies, we will work target the root causes that create anxiety. “Coping” is not the goal, change is. We work every session to reduce perceived threats and help your mind "stand down" so you can navigate life more easily and with increased confidence.

The issues I specialize in are as follows: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and self-esteem issues.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination. As a clinician, it is my goal to help guide you in the right direction of your personal good life. While providing a secure, trustworthy environment for you, together we will work towards the process of building the best version of yourself. While I primarily use CBT in combination with Psychodynamic Theory, my approach is more importantly based on a foundation of empathy, compassion, and respect. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your unique needs and goals, and tailor my interventions to best suit your individual needs.

Let's face it. We all struggle with life circumstances from time to time, and many times we need someone to listen and provide some effective, objective feedback to help us figure out what next steps to take. On top of what life can throw at us, many of us also struggle with ongoing anxiety, depression, and other mental health difficulties that make facing life's challenges even more challenging. Seeking professional help during these times is an important step toward establishing a healthy balance in life that benefits oneself and those one cares for.

Extensive training in Bioenergetic Analysis and trauma healing allows me to understand thoroughly what's happening for you.
I am trained in body-based, or mind/body, psychotherapy. I don't work with any one piece of a person, single incident, or symptom of a diagnosis. I see you as a whole person, within the context of your past and present life, and target the root cause of the "dis-ease" you are experiencing. I believe therapy is not only about feeling better, but finding choice, control, and a grounded sense of your Self. You are more than any diagnosis, you are a person who moves through life in your own unique way. I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and personality. I'm a real person, and I offer real connection.

Growing up as a designated scapegoat with a narcissistic or abusive parent has long lasting negative impacts on someone's life. If you are struggling with your adult life now and had a parent with a personality disorder, substance abuse or other serious condition, you might have some of these symptoms: Second guessing yourself. Fear of attacks or criticism. Fear of relationships and being hurt. Recreating past painful relationships with people like your parents. Feelings of anxiety. Feeling easily defeated. Bottled up feelings that come out inappropriately. Ruminating about past hurts. Feeling no one hears you.

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.
