I am an intensively trained DBT and CPT Therapist, meaning I work with people who’ve been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression (among others).
Isn’t the process of finding a therapist on Psychology Today a daunting one? I find this to be especially true if you are a part of a group that often feels shame when seeking help, such as Queer people, polyamorous folks, people diagnosed with HIV, or individuals who’ve been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. All of these folks can find a home at Berkana Collective, where we can help find you a sense of comfort and acceptance, but also attain the change you need to accomplish the goals you have for yourself, like healthier emotions, stronger relationships, and more.

I help clients with a variety of issues such as: overwhelming emotional experiences (anxiety, depression, anger, shame, etc.), traumatic pasts, confusion or aimlessness in life, compulsive behaviors, and other difficulties that somehow limit them from most fully living the lives they prefer. I am a trained mindfulness coach, and I utilize meditation training as a central part of my therapeutic process. I also maintain a person-centered attitude toward all clients, and I aim to establish and maintain a trusting relationship with clients.

I believe that psychotherapy is a meditative dialogue that is constructed between you and I with the purpose of creating a sacred space. The function of the dialogue within the sacred space is to access memories, symbolic images and past experiences that live in your unconscious, and bring those contents into present awareness. This entire process is to help your personality to grow and often decrease the experience of emotional and spiritual pain.

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.
