Dealing with anxiety, depression or trauma can affect not just your mind but your body, relationships, and sense of self.

Through evidence-based techniques, such as EMDR, I can help you reframe your experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build healthier coping. The goal is to help you regain a sense of control, restore emotional balance, & ultimately reclaim your life.

I must be perfect. I will fail. I'm permanently damaged. I cannot trust myself. Do these, or other negative beliefs feel true, even though you may know they're not true?

I can help you find freedom from those nagging thoughts, emotions and body sensations that are preventing you from living the life you want to live.

I also believe that trauma, depression, and life transitions need to be viewed from the lens of autism.
Dealing with social anxiety can feel like you're trying to solve a mega-puzzle with pieces that just don't seem to fit. Trying to figure out all those unspoken social rules that others seem to easily pick up on can be super stressful. It's like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't. This can sometimes make you feel anxious, alone, and scared of messing up socially. It is so hard to find your place when people around you don't know how much it takes to pick up a phone call, send a message, or show up at a restaurant. It can feel like being an alien among humans, and it is beyond lonely.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues including the impact of trauma, depression, anxiety or grief/loss.
Taking that first step of seeking counseling can be tough. It's hard to imagine sharing your most intimate experiences, thoughts and challenges with a total stranger. I understand, I've been there. I have a deep level of compassion and a heart to help those who are hurting. My goal is to help you successfully navigate through life's challenging situations, while providing a safe place where you receive gentleness and compassion not pressure or judgment.

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.
