This versatility, comes from the various specializations I have obtained, including in the treatment of trauma, mood, and anxiety disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), OCD, and generalized anxiety.
In my practice, I focus on setting clear goals and tailoring treatment to meet those goals. I meet my clients where they are. If my client(s) wants to work on problems with daily struggles, difficulties reaching their full potential, or improving their marriage, I will help them achieve that. If they want to deal with symptoms of a mood or anxiety disorder, than I will leverage my extensive training with these conditions to help achieve symptom reduction. Throughout the treatment process, I can call upon various methods of psychotherapy, but I always maintain a clear vision to guide our work.

I’ve also had intensive training in EMDR, Sensorimotor, and Emotionally Focused therapies, and I have studied with world experts in the integration of these and other modalities to treat trauma and other complex life challenges.
Congratulations! You’ve made the courageous decision to search for something new. My approach to psychotherapy is experiential and relational. I believe that we hold within us everything we need for recovery and expansion and that a genuine and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship offers the context for healing, exploration, and growth. My clients describe feeling gotten and empowered by me. Psychotherapy with me is like traditional talking therapy. And also quite different. We won’t just talk about the bad experiences you’ve had. We’ll also cultivate new ones and help you consolidate the "new you" that will slowly emerge.

Through this process, we work collaboratively to develop the skills and insight to move towards fulfillment and purpose.

In 30+ years of experience, I've learned to tailor my treatment to the needs of clients. However, my preferred method of helping is through insight. Even people who feel they know themselves well often have blind spots that keep them trapped in unhappy ways of living. Over 2000 years ago, Socrates advised: "Know thyself." Human nature is essentially the same today as then; the advice holds up well. I will help you to know yourself in a way that helps to free you from current difficulties and lifelong patterns of thinking and feeling that have not served you well.

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.
