I also have an endorsement for Child Welfare and Trauma, which is a lot of words to say I’m great at sorting out trauma.
You didn’t expect things to turn out this way. You’re heart pounds and your head gets fuzzy. Things are SO challenging lately. You’re feeling Overwhelmed and underappreciated, but.. I mean, everyone’s overwhelmed or feeling self-doubt and pressure, right? Doesn’t everyone feel like they don’t fit in or awkward? You’re really good at putting on that happy face for your friends & family, but inside you feel like nothing ever goes as planned, you’re stressed, unsatisfied and overwhelmed. Going to School or work causes anxiety, staying home causes anxiety and life is just plain Hard!

I have worked extensively in substance abuse treatment at several different levels of care as well as trauma work.
Welcome! Bienvenidos! We all go through stages and changes in this journey of life. Some may be expected and some are surprises. This can include many different periods of crises, fairly bad times, temporary inconveniences, good times, and confusing times. Sometimes we think we made it through something, and we yo-yo back. It can be hard to process and understand all the complexities and emotions on this roller coaster. It helps to talk through this and process these experiences. Sometimes we just need support and validation.

I help teens and adults aged 8 and up, who are struggling with anxiety, intense emotions or trauma from their past.
Caught in a never ending stress volley between feeling overly anxious and afraid of what others might think of “the real you”. People say you are too in touch with your feelings, and at the same time you are afraid to confide in your parents, friends or colleagues. You desperately want to feel better but aren’t sure how to get there. Deep down you know you have high potential, but often feel like a disappointment to yourself and others. Your emotions feel like a burden and the last thing you want to do is share them with the people closest to you.

I have extensive training to help individuals who have experienced many forms of trauma, abuse, grief and loss.
Just like our thinking patterns, muscle memory & body patterns are important to address in treatment. You don't have to relearn to ride a bike after every winter. This same principle applies to stress/ trauma/anxiety/anger responses in the body & is important to address on your journey toward healing. Sensorimotor Processing helps facilitates this process.

My main focus is working with individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma; specifically, trauma that is associated with medical first responders (Fire, Police, EMS) and hospital personnel.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in different professions and experienced a variety of life’s experiences. I’ve struggled and overcome. I’ve faced adversity and I’ve accomplished dreams. I've been there, as the saying goes, and I don't judge others for going through the same.

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.
