I truly care about my clients and challenge them to achieve their goals and meet their full potential. I believe we start by generating a strong therapeutic relationship that allows us to do the hard work together. Then we will begin to identify learned patterns of thinking and behavior that are no longer working for you. Together, we will explore new ways of thinking and being that are aligned with your values, experiences, and goals to support you becoming the person you want to be. I work with young adults and adults on their concerns related to identity development, relationship concerns, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma.

I have been trained in trauma-informed care and customize therapy to each patient.
My belief is that patients are always the experts on themselves, and they may simply need a compassionate, neutral party to help them better know and understand what they want, think, and feel. A good therapist offers more support than advice and listens and pays attention to what is said and what is not said. Because people excel at doing what they are used to doing, change can be difficult. Having someone guide them along the way can increase one’s capacity for and likelihood of success.

Telehealth appointments available now! For many of us, the decision to seek therapy isn't an easy one. It can be hard to admit there is a problem we can't solve on our own, or to face the feelings that we get so good at pushing away. Healing is possible--even from trauma and loss. The process works best when you find someone who you feel is on your side, and is working with you to help you reach your goals. I hope I can be that person for you! I have successfully treated PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, and more. As a working mother myself, I feel a special desire to help other moms achieve their mental health goals.

Life is too short to stay buried by trauma, poor relationships, or stuck in an anxious or depressed cycle.
I'm not the one looking down from the expert pedestal to instruct you in living a better life. Instead, you'll find someone to walk alongside you as a trusted voice in your life's journey. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you yearn for while actually enjoying the growth process as much as possible. I know asking for help or calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I will be a safe, shame free, and welcoming support from the start. I hope you will take the time 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.
