Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or family stress, therapy is your safe space to heal, gain clarity, and grow.
Children often express big feelings in small ways, and I use play-based strategies and family collaboration to help them feel safe and confident. For teens, therapy offers a space to navigate school stress, social pressures, and self-identity with support through CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused care.

Trauma creates change you don't choose.
You want change, but not sure where to start. You feel like you have tried it all- or are now recognizing it is time for growth and healing. You feel overwhelmed by your racing mind, the negative self-talk or feelings of hopelessness. You want to build deeper connections with others, but struggle to maintain your self-worth, establish healthy boundaries or lack a sense of safety. Maybe you just can't escape certain memories that keep replaying over and over again, or you recently experienced a traumatic event. Your child never listens, gets in trouble or has a hard time separating from you. You feel like you've failed as a parent.

I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and women's issues.
You're anxious, stressed, and burned out. No matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough. Your mind is constantly racing, and even small decisions feel paralyzing. You feel on edge, easily triggered, and worn down by the pressure to keep it together. You can’t seem to relax, shut off your brain, or just feel steady. Maybe you can’t even remember the last time you truly felt clear or confident. But you do know one thing: you’re ready for a change. You’re ready to stop spiraling and start showing up as your best self. You want clarity. You want peace. You want to feel in control again.

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.
