I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship/family concerns, grief and loss, trauma, women's issues, and self-esteem/self-empowerment.
People seek counseling for any number of reasons and I consider it a privilege that I might be invited into a client's life to provide support during times of change, healing, and growth. My approach involves a warm and relaxed attitude towards counseling, truly listening to your story, non-judgement, focusing on strengths, and helping to shift the negative beliefs that are preventing you from living a happier and fuller life.

I have advanced knowledge in supporting adults who have experienced trauma throughout their lives and those who have symptoms of, or a diagnosis of ADHD.
I believe we all have a unique perspective on life, due in part to what we have experienced. By understanding what we have experienced, and how this has affected us, we can then learn new ways of coping and living to have a fuller and more intentional life. I have found that my skillset is often best suited for adults who are motivated to change how they respond to life by exploring their core beliefs, emotions, and thoughts that are keeping them stuck. My goal is to empower adults to better understand themselves and feel more confident in living as their authentic self.

I truly believe we all have the potential for health and healing. Life can be painful. Therapy doesn't have to be. Many people see therapy as one-sided, with little opportunity for interaction. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

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.
