Some of my favorite modalities are emotion-focused therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method for couples, internal family systems, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and training in trauma processing using techniques (EMDR and Brainspotting) to help resolve trauma.
I have engaged with various individuals from different backgrounds and presented needs, but predominantly assist adults, couples, and families in developing healthier relationships with themselves and others. I aim to help you grow in how you relate to yourself and others, your identity as a person, your ability to stay in a balanced view of reality and become even more of an adult pursuing your unique passions in the world.

Life is full of wonderful and sometimes difficult or painful experiences, and during painful seasons we can get stuck. Many times trauma or past wounds can hold us back from moving forward or functioning in life. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe in providing a safe, supportive environment to process through pain, or life changes, to be able to grow and move forward in your life. I work with children, adolescents, families and women. Some of the issues I work with are depression, anxiety, identity, parenting issues, family systems, communication, grief, and abuse.

Trauma informs how we relate in the world and can be complex, confusing, and painful with multiple layers. Coping or trying to cope with trauma is challenging, interfering with what most consider "normal life activities." Its hard to explain to others who do not understand and who have never experienced something that "rocked" their world in a disturbing, sometimes literally life threatening way. When there has been any degree of trauma, what was is no longer and what is frightens, disorients us. Behaviors, thinking, feelings change in the shadow of trauma. There is help available and you are not alone. Recovery is possible.

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.
