In our work together, clients can develop new coping skills, deepen their understanding of themselves and their needs, and process past trauma that may still be affecting them in the present.
Do you ever feel like you don’t quite fit in this world? Are you feeling exhausted or anxious from trying so hard to keep up? Maybe the ways you’ve learned to navigate life no longer feel effective, leaving you stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. If making decisions feels difficult or perfectionism keeps you frozen in place, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Let’s talk.

I have over 20 years of experience with crisis, trauma, various mental health issues, in psychiatric settings.
My ideal client would be where you find yourself trying to hold it together, and you may not look for help until a situation has gotten worse and its almost a crisis. That situation will significantly affect your life, and you will hit a breaking point. This might be self-esteem, anxiety, depression, adjusting to life changes, codependency, grief, health issues, or just feeling stuck. It's hard to ask for help but here you are, and what you thought might work is not working any more. You would find yourself in my office feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused but feeling like you had taken the first step to finding HOPE.

I work with moms on the things that weigh most: trauma from past births or difficult experiences, grief from losses big or small, and anxiety or depression that makes everyday life feel overwhelming.
Does this sound familiar? Motherhood isn't what you expected? You feel constantly overwhelmed. You keep thinking, "It shouldn't be this hard." You worry that something bad will happen if you're not constantly alert. Your mind never stops - it's a constant loop of planning, worrying, and managing everyone else's needs. You feel emotionally disconnected from your partner. Crying for no reason. You love your kids, but sometimes you just want to run away for a day - or a week - and not be touched or needed by anyone. You experienced a traumatic birth that you can't get past. The NICU looms large. You are holding it together. Barely.

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.
