It takes courage and strength to reach out and seek a new perspective, and sharing our stories of personal trauma can lead to improved sense of well-being. The simple act of doing so can empower you to take the next step toward change and healing for you and your loved ones. An immediate sense of change is possible by merely taking the first step toward a new, healing relationship. I collaborate with my clients in a non-judgmental and respectful manner, working to accomplish their goals.

Are you experiencing fear, loneliness, anger, grief, chronic illness, or pain? Maybe you're transitioning or feeling un-rooted, on an edge, lost, anxious, and/or addicted? Our identities and perspectives are informed by how we relate to and make sense of these, and our other human, experiences. Knowledge of that we call 'self' is a continual and creative process, and includes integration of the unconscious - the parts of the psyche yet unknown to us. I help clients find focus and relax preconceived notions of how growth and healing occurs. This allows one to learn from their symptoms in order to ease suffering - to hold paradox.

Hello! I am a clinical mental health counseling intern. I practice therapy from a humanistic, person-centered lens. While my first therapists were Cognitive-Behavioral focused, I have grown to appreciate a more adaptive approach. I have an interest in psychodrama, trauma informed therapy, and positive psychology. As a member of the queer community myself, I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, ethical non-monogamy, and kink friendly. Feminist theory heavily influences my therapeutic perspective with regards to the overarching societal and social justice systems that impact all of our daily lives. I hope to one day specialize in sex therapy.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, and seek to empower my clients to make personal decisions about their treatment under guidance. My worldview and theoretical approach is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and holistic framework and utilizes interventions from methodologies such as Somatic Experiencing, existentialism, and person-centered psychotherapy. I enjoy working with a wide range of demographics and issues, but my ideal client would be someone seeking help with integrating past trauma, a harm reduction approach to substance use, disordered eating, and/or moving through a life transition.

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.
