I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, complicated grief, and PTSD/trauma.
Personal experience and science attest the body tends toward wellness, both mentally and physically. Of course, it's also evident life can disrupt that balance in ways that challenge and overwhelm us. My approach to mental health is positive, holistic, viewing individuals as a whole with their strengths that are as much a reality as any emotional distress they may suffer. By utilizing these strengths and through a personalized approach that uses evidence-based practices, I am optimistic that emotional healing and wellness is an attainable goal.

I specialize in working with high functioning individuals who have experienced trauma or are experiencing increased levels of stress/anxiety and decreases in their mood.
Stressed? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Sad? This is your mind's way of letting you know that something is not working. So often we find ourselves pushing through difficulties without taking time to understand or heal from them. Through therapy, I help folks slow down and process where they are at and what they have been through. Together we identify negative thought patterns and behaviors that are keeping you stuck. We process current and past experiences and move through avoidance. This allows you to gain new insights, function at higher levels and release stressors rather than ignoring them.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” With over a decade of experience, I specialize in adult relationships and the physiological impact that adverse life experiences have on mental health and the body. If you are struggling with maintaining healthy relationships with yourself or your loved ones, grappling with the ability to rest and regulate emotions, and have faced tragedy, neglect, or abuse—I'm here to listen. A therapist talking about trauma is different from treating trauma. I have a passion for treating trauma; with a focus on attachment needs. I am EMDR trained.

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.
