Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Saint Anthony, MN
I am trained in evidence-based modalities & my work is informed by attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, experiential, narrative, and trauma-informed approaches.
If you're looking to feel more solid, confident, and sure of who you are, I offer a space where you can grow roots that lead you to feeling like a sturdier version of yourself. I believe that healing happens best in the context of connection with others, experimenting with ways you can grow your willingness to choose vulnerability. You can count on me to be a compassionate, present listener, with a sprinkle of warm humor and authenticity. Difficult experiences shape the way that we see the world and navigating that alone can feel overwhelming.

Trauma can impact how we show up at work, in friendships and in our families.
Current afternoon openings. Clients often tell me they feel overwhelmed with anxiety in parenting or their marriage. They feel unable to manage daily stressors or keep up with expectations at home and work. Daily stressors feel heavy and they end up arguing with their spouse, kids or coworkers. There are evidence-based techniques that can help you feel more in control to manage conflict effectively and role model better strategies. Triggers feel awful and there are proven remedies to stop them. Together through therapy we can eliminate negative thoughts and memories that prevent you from being your best self and feeling happier.

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.
