I am an experienced trauma psychotherapist who is trained in multiple therapy techniques, including brain-based EMDR and Brainspotting techniques.
Does anyone really ever understand how tiring it is to act okay and always be strong when there is so much chaos going on inside of us? Maybe we are to the point where we just do not have the energy to do the things we want to do or perhaps even used to enjoy doing. We might be struggling with deep emotions no one else understands. Maybe there are things we don’t even know how to put into words. Therapy is a special place where you can learn more about who you are and find out how to get to where you want to be in life.

I am formally trained in systems theory and trauma therapy, and utilize somatic, mindfulness, Jungian, IFS, and dialectical techniques.
We live in a world notoriously seeking conformity and suppression. How do we begin to unravel these layers to discover our own uniqueness and find the courage to show up? Conditioning and societal expectation often leave us feeling as though we are falling behind like we are supposed to have more figured out by now. Through a lens of compassionate curiosity I seek to help people in taking a deeper look beyond shame and explore preconceived notions about childhood wounds, sexuality, religion, relationships, career, and more. My goal is to empower you to discover and discern your own value system which may differ from your upbringing.

I am certified in Trauma Focused CBT, DBT, and Trauma Informed Yoga.
My passion is helping clients discover skills to manage anxiety, challenge thought traps, question negative thinking patterns, explore self-identity, and reduce depressive states through processing emotions, mindfulness, understanding the nervous system, and implementing healthy coping skills. If feeling frustrated in the past/present/future worries, we can explore EMDR together to allow the brain to heal naturally. We can create goals, big or small, to uncover strengths and reduce feelings of being stuck. I also like to bring breathwork, grounding techniques, and tapping into sessions to build a sense of calm and create peace.

We typically won’t process trauma right away, but we’ll get there as you are comfortable.
Have you been struggling lately? Perhaps you’ve encountered some depression or anxiety. You could find yourself in a difficult situation now, or still trying to recover from a past trauma. It could be your child who is struggling, and it feels like nothing you are doing is working. Perhaps you’ve considered counseling or have tried therapy in the past. You know you can do better, but you don’t want to have someone try to change everything about you. You know who you are and what you value. You want someone to listen. Really listen. You have a goal or goals for yourself, but don’t quite have the tools to reach them.

The entire focus of this practice is grief, loss and trauma.
Are you hurting inside to the point that you feel frozen with grief? Your world has been turned upside down. Your grief is a normal and natural reaction to the loss. If you have experienced a loss due to death (recent or long ago), divorce, lost your pet, your best companion or 40 other losses that a person can encounter during a lifetime, you are experiencing grief. You will learn the actions you need to take to regain a sense of well-being, regain self-confidence and self-worth and a new identity on your journey to peace.

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.
