It’s a feeling, no, it's not even a real thing, but it won’t go away. It’s a sensation that happens in your chest or stomach. It’s a signal that lets you know it is about to start. It could be the loop of hearing those negative thoughts. You know what I’m talking about, the thoughts that say you’re so stupid, you’re ugly, you can’t do anything, over and over. Or it could be those memories that are always there and that feeling of hopelessness that keeps popping up again and again. You can call it anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. It doesn’t matter what you call it; it keeps you stuck and disrupts your life. I can help.

My understanding of how overwhelming therapy can be for some, and my empathy and listening skills can help put my clients at ease. I utilize a collaborative approach as you are the best expert on you! Sessions are a warm and trusted place to be. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and often seek training in other modalities. My therapeutic orientations are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray. I've also been trained in EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Prepare and Enrich (a premarital and marriage assessment), so I know how to do these things, too.

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.
