I work with individuals and couples dealing with stress, trauma histories, relationship challenges, life transitions, anger, neurodivergence, and more.
I often use EMDR to help people process experiences that feel “stuck” in the mind and body. Many clients who feel tired of “just talking” find EMDR creates the deeper shift they're needing, helping emotional and behavioral patterns change in real, noticeable ways. Together, we’ll build practical skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.

Together we will explore stressors, limiting beliefs, and past trauma that may be impeding you from reaching your full potential, while also exploring your unique strengths and abilities.
I bring mindfulness and somatic modalities into session as these help to connect the mind and body, allowing you to feel calmer and more grounded. I also use CBT, IFS, EMDR, and other modalities. EMDR is particularly useful for trauma. When working with teens, my 18 years of experience in schools helps me understand their unique needs.

I’ve had the privilege to work with diverse populations, including those struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, life transitions, and other mental health concerns.
In treatment, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy. I am skilled in conducting assessments, developing customized treatment plans, and implementing evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

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.
