The life transition from childhood to teenage years can often be traumatic in itself.
I believe that we are not meant to be defined our past negative experiences but rather free of them so that we may build a more fulfilling future. I have been trained psychodynamically and do trauma focused therapy. Traumas are often incidents that might appear small on the surface but may impact our ability to be intimate with others. I am a member of the International Society of Studies in Trauma and Dissociation and am abreast with newest treatments and research. I work with sexual abuse survivors and work with firemen, police officers and other first responders through psychodynamic therapy and EMDR. I am an EMDR certified

I find that an empathetic approach is the best way to build rapport and trust with a client. I am fortunate to have worked across many populations (infants, children, adolescents, adults, geriatrics, military personnel, special needs, etc) and feel that creative arts therapy is universal. I have experience in a myriad of diagnoses ranging from anxiety and depression to acute psychiatric disorders.

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.
