Have you been told you’re too sensitive or too emotional?  You don't understand why your emotions feel so intense, why things bother you so much, or why you overthink and overanalyze.  You wonder why life often feels so overwhelming and overstimulating. You think that if you could just be more like everyone else, life would be easier and things would improve.  You long for close relationships but even that feels difficult and complicated at times.  You want to understand why you are so different and you don't want life to feel so hard.

I work with people who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and other emotional/relational difficulties, particularly those struggles that are long-standing and unchanging. While symptom relief is the initial focus, my goal is to also help people understand why they began struggling in the first place, with the hopes the symptoms do not return. Psychoanalysis and psychotherapy can help address wounds related to a person's family of origin or other relationships. Each treatment is tailored to the individual rather than a "one size fits all" approach.

Many people are seeking psychotherapy for help with emotional pain, difficult life circumstances, problematic current relationships or relationship patterns, and identity struggles. For others, it's not the presence of something to be alleviated, but rather the search for something missing that brings them to this work. The goal of our work together is to provide relief from your suffering and cultivate a more enriching life with a greater sense of freedom in how you choose to live it.

Thanks for visiting my page. I hope to speak with you more if it seems we would be a good match. If we work together, I will encourage you to be curious about yourself. If our work goes well, you will learn to delight in your strengths and to tolerate and accommodate your weaknesses. Along the way, uncomfortable symptoms of anxiety, sadness, feeling stuck, over-using substances and other problems will improve. Importantly, my commitment to and belief in personal autonomy mean that I won’t tell you what to do-which would presume that I know what is right for you-but will instead guide you on your own path of self-discovery.

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.
