Facing challenges like depression, anxiety, and trauma can hinder our ability to authentically and fully engage with life. As a psychotherapist, my practice is grounded in trauma-informed care. I specialize in EMDR, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic therapy. I understand that spirituality plays an important part in many people's healing; and I incorporate a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of biological, mental, and emotional well-being.

My area of expertise is in stress- and trauma-related symptoms, namely posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and suicidality. Stress and trauma can shift our entire worldview and our sense of safety and trust, our confidence and competency, and sometimes makes us feel we no longer 'fit' where we used to. This can effect every aspect of our lives. I will serve as a sounding board, to help identify your "why" and your "what," to access and troubleshoot any roadblocks along the journey, then provide strength-based, trauma-focused support to reach your specific goals and help you to build a life you truly want to live.

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.
