I approach counseling from a trauma-informed lens, focusing on life experiences and how they impact our emotions, body, thought processes, and behaviors.
Do you feel like your past experiences are negatively affecting your present? Or often think you are "not good enough"? This negative belief can stem from hurtful messages from our family, peers, authority figures, and others. It may be difficult to imagine thinking differently. We can work together to help you emotionally process painful experiences and put them into a more self-compassionate perspective, develop your confidence and coping skills, increase feelings of peace and calm, and create more space in your life for what is most meaningful to you. It is possible to find relief with therapeutic support.

I have specialized training with treating children and teens who have experienced major stressors and trauma.
Hello! I strive to create a warm and accepting atmosphere for kids and teens to grow. I began providing animal-assisted therapy in 2020 and found it added an extra layer of comfort, humor, and playfulness that enhances the sometimes challenging work of therapy. My hope is to make therapy fun and enlightening. Children and teens have many stressors that include rigorous school testing, challenging social dynamics, and perfectionism. This can lead to negative self-talk and self-doubt.

I use EMDR therapy, combined with a compassionate, client-centered approach to treat the underlying trauma and grief at the root of your anxiety.
Resolving trauma helps my clients answer questions like these from a place of peace, not fear: Should we try for another baby? Should I give birth in a hospital or elsewhere? Should I have a C-section or induction or wait to give birth naturally? Is this feeling my "mom intuition" or anxiety? Can I find closure being done having children for health reasons?

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.
