My life's purpose is to hold space for trauma healing. I have specialized training in gold-standard treatments for trauma, and I have experience working with combat Veterans, first responders, and survivors of childhood abuse, rape, and domestic violence. Through these experiences, I have learned that humans are designed to heal from trauma, but sometimes we may feel unsure of where to start or feel stuck in the process. I am here to help you make sense of how trauma impacts your worldview, physical body, and relationships. It would be my honor to walk beside you as you reconnect with your intuitive ability to heal.

I have specialized training and expertise with a variety of concerns, including mood & personality disorders, trauma, shame, cultural/racial identity issues, and LGBT/coming-out issues.
I help my patients address questions like "How can I have more satisfying relationships?" and "How can I find more flow in love and work?" I have a deep passion for working with people to uncover and rework unsatisfying relationship patterns. I believe healthy people seek therapy for various reasons throughout life, and psychotherapy can help you find a more genuine and integrated way of living and relating to others. I am a psychologist who is committed to my own personal growth and ongoing training. I also have a profound appreciation for 12 step approaches and insight oriented approaches.

I have a private practice in which I focus on trauma, grief, family of origin, interpersonal relationships, and codependency issues.
Therapy can be daunting, and the process can be slow and tough. It also brings opportunity. Opportunity can bring hope, new coping skills, a different perspective, healing, and so much more. The hardest part - but often the most exciting part - can be deciding where to begin. I value and honor the starts, stops, and all that is in between. I have been in the clinical mental health field since 1986, so one could say I've been around the block. With that experience, I help my clients find their paths, and I serve as a witness to their growth.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, and trauma.
You think to yourself, "I don't know who I am anymore." The loneliness is wearing you down, and the feelings of being unappreciated, unloved, and misunderstood are overwhelming. It's just exhausting. Responsibilities keep piling up, and sometimes you fantasize about just running away from it all. But instead, you shut down. You crave a place where your voice is heard and you are seen. Are you ready to feel like yourself again?

I find my heart is most connected to working with individuals struggling with stress and trauma.
Reaching out can be so hard, but it is such an important first step! We are not made to do the hard things alone and more and more research is showing that we are deeply wired for connection and support. While different seasons in our lives have different needs and speeds, we know that every individual is capable of connection, healing, and wholeness with the right support. Science has shown us time and time again how adaptive our bodies and brains are as they change to manage the stress or trauma of our lived experiences. Therapy is about moving towards healing and growth as we learn to trust ourselves.

What lights me up about therapy is helping someone to live their most authentic life. I get energized hearing clients ask the existential questions and work to bring their intellectual and felt experiences into alignment. I'm a good fit for those looking to heal from trauma and better understand their history, who want to feel better, but also want feel okay in their own skin. Often my clients are working through difficult relational or family of origin experiences, seeking to relate to loved ones (and themselves) in a new way. I also have a passion for helping navigate burnout, especially with healthcare and helping professionals.

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.
