Are you stuck in survival mode? Do you want to go from just surviving to THRIVING? Do you even know what thriving is? Let me help you navigate and pull back the layers of childhood trauma that has manifested its way into your adult life. Many of us were only taught to survive because that's all our parents knew. Its time to let go of the pain residing inside you and free yourself. Lets work together to let joy in and heal the wounds holding you back. I use EMDR in couples and individual sessions. Using EMDR, I am able to see clients heal at a rapid pace compared to years of talk therapy.

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) frees us from both big and little trauma, removing triggers that cause us and others to constantly walk on egg shells.
My clients tend to be people who march to the beat of their own drum. They know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, and some might go as far as to consider themselves “black sheep” or even outcasts. My approach to counseling involves embracing your unique identity and letting go of expectations others may have put onto you. Whether you are working through depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, or uncertainty, I want to help you become your most authentic self.

You have the right to enjoy a more satisfying life of creativity & fulfillment, embodying the amazing human you were created to be. Grief is inevitable. Sometimes we don't know how to feel or be with emotions so we 'stuff' them in maladaptive ways.

I focus on the unique challenges of those in high-pressure careers. The intensity of these jobs often leads to relationship problems, anxiety about performance, stress, exhaustion, and burnout, resulting in a shrinking support network and frustrated partners. That’s why I also focus on the families of such individuals.

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.
