Some people who experience trauma may struggle with memories and thoughts about the event. They may have nightmares or feel angry all the time. They may want to avoid thinking about the trauma or encountering things that remind them of it. While it may feel better momentarily, avoidance of the trauma can keep you stuck from recovering from PTSD. As a certified trauma therapist, I offer a treatment that helps heal PTSD in 12-15 sessions. I specialize in working with first responders & veterans and am extensively trained to work with the unique challenges they face, however, I work with all forms of trauma.

It’s time for a new approach. You’ve tried numerous ways to overcome depression and anxiety, but in the end, you’re left feeling even more worried and defeated. Maybe the strategies that worked in the past aren’t working anymore. Trying to find relief from this suffering can turn into an exhausting cycle. This emotional distress can cause you to feel detached from others and make it seem impossible to feel joy. This depression and anxiety can lead to physical problems like fatigue, poor sleep, muscle tension or even lead to more severe medical conditions.

My years in the counseling profession have provided me with the rich experience of working with people from many backgrounds and diverse issues and concerns. In addition to seeing clients, my experience teaching counselors-in-training and supervising counselors seeking licensure has helped me understand how helpful and meaningful this process can be. I look forward to working with you.
