Since 2012 I have had extensive training working with children and families who have experienced
trauma
, truancy, anxiety/depression, victims of domestic violence, chemical dependency, eating disorders, struggles with parenting skills as well as other stressors that may affect us at some point in our lives.
Have you ever just felt stuck? Do you ever think therapy is just not for me or think to yourself, is it worth it? Well, believe me, it is. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. My belief is that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment. During sessions we will focus on creative therapeutic techniques in order to help you become the best possible you you can be.

Life presents us with an array of challenges. Managing those challenges can be overwhelming. Do you worry too much? Do you feel disconnected from your emotions? Is it hard to make decisions? It is time to identify self defeating patterns and come up with a plan. Depression, anxiety, addiction, loss and past
trauma
can prevent you from finding that resolution.

Feelings can be hard to sort through on your own and also confusing. Having a special therapeutic relationship to address, identify and process unresolved emotions, unpleasant memories, intrusive thoughts and chronic feelings of hopelessness can make a huge difference in ones' life. A specialized plan tailored to meet your own needs and goals is first and foremost.

Life can be challenging. Learning how to navigate throughout the different stages of your life can sometimes feel stressful, difficult, overwhelming, confusing, depressing, and more. Learning how to live your life to the fullest while also learning how to cope and manage your mental health can also be a challenge. You may even find yourself having difficulties enjoying your life due to the unpredictable nature of this world. From childhood
trauma
to life transitions, improving self-worth to managing a new diagnosis, therapy is an essential tool needed to help you acknowledge, process, accept, and adapt.

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.
