We will work together to help you cope with the stressors of daily life and no longer feel the grip of past trauma in your daily life.
After experiencing a trauma, whether recent or past, it can feel as if you are stuck, not fully able to move on from that moment. The trauma can affect various parts of your life, parts which can play a role in how you view yourself and interact with the world around you. We are complex beings made up of so many intersecting parts and trauma can feel like it has taken over it all. Even if you do not have a history of trauma, if you practice kink and/or consensual non-monogamy it can be anxiety inducing to seek help. It can feel like you have to hide that part of yourself which is not beneficial to your healing journey.

Marriage, family, friendships: Relationships can bring us meaning, but also pain, confusion, and sadness. You may feel you have to “hold it together” and keep your struggles under the surface.

Many individuals and couples come to me to renew and rework their relationships and to feel happier and healthier as a result. You too can successfully move past trauma, conflict, and stressful changes and emerge living a more intentional, satisfying life with better relationships.

Are you ready to get out of survival mode and back into a life you love? Is it hard to imagine that's possible because of trauma you’ve experienced? Life throws challenges our way and although we never asked for something traumatic to happen, it falls on us to figure out how to pick up the pieces and move forward. What you endured may have left you feeling anxious or depressed, with lower self-esteem, a negative body image, or a loss of identity. You may be ignoring these issues and look like you have it together despite feeling triggered and struggling with your thoughts and emotions. Your life doesn't have to continue this way.

I specialize in working with adult trauma survivors, particularly those experiencing PTSD and Complex Trauma as a result of domestic violence, sexual assault, spiritual abuse, and childhood trauma.
EMDR Trained - Certified Trauma Professional: Welcome to my Psychology Today page! The effects of trauma are varied and can show up as anxiety, depression, dissociation, grief, intrusive negative thoughts, disturbing memories and dreams, engagement in unhealthy relationship patterns, and low self-esteem. What you are experiencing is a NORMAL reaction to trauma, and healing is possible. As a former educator, I have found that developing an understanding of the effects of trauma on the nervous system is a good way to begin fostering self-compassion, which is the first step in developing resilience and beginning the healing process.

Many of my adult clients come to struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or loss and are unaware of just how long term the impact is on their lives.
We all hit bumps in the road that we feel unequipped to handle. If you are reading this, you are probably experiencing one of those now. I work with my clients to help them to navigate thorough life's challenges. I do not have a handy manual to offer simplistic answers for your life. What I do offer is to listen to you without judgment, to help you identify the obstacles that keep you from moving forward, to help you find internal resources, and to work with you to help you discover the answers that work for you. I can teach you to be more compassionate with yourself since being human is to struggle.

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.
