Some examples might be a change in the family, a medical issue, a career challenge, a loss, a trauma past or present, a decision that needs to be made, elder care or caregiving issues.
I provide a safe environment for you to come in and talk honestly about what you are going through. I am a good listener and together we can explore solutions that help you to take charge of your life again. Therapy can be an important tool in managing the stress that comes from changes in our lives. Being uncomfortable in a crisis can be the fuel that you need to make a change. Maybe you have considered counseling for a while, but haven't taken the first step. Your situation may demand it now.

I have completed Part II of the certification in EMDR which I have found to be especially helpful to people with issues related to trauma, anxiety and or depression.
Helping someone to feel comfortable and safe discussing whatever they are struggling with is my highest priority. The decision to talk to a professional about personal problems is often difficult and frightening. However, the way I see it is that we all encounter challenges that may be beyond our ablity to handle well alone at some points in our lives. Having the courage to ask for help is really a strength rather than a weakness. People who come to me for help say I am easy to talk to and provide them with the chance to develop a healthy perspective.

I have experience with a variety of issues and diagnosis, but typically my specialities include people who have experienced eating disorders, trauma & ptsd, and anxiety.
Is your anxiety getting in the way of accomplishing your life goals? Do you have a complicated relationship with food & your body? Do you struggle with relationships or feel like you have limited support from people in general? Does life feel like one bad situation after another, almost like you can't catch a break? If any of this resonates, I would be glad to walk with you in your journey of leading a more authentic, fulfilling life. I believe that our early experiences really shape us, and at times (even unknowingly) make us feel stuck.

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.
