Reaching out and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is such a difficult thing to do. My goal is to focus on the importance of connection in order to build a strong therapeutic rapport. Having a strong connection, feeling seen, heard and validated are important parts of my practice. This allows me to work alongside the people who enter my office, to build on their current strengths and to incorporate new skills in order to navigate their daily lives effectively

My name is Robin, and while I work with all forms of trauma my work primarily focuses on helping the helpers.
There are so many experiences in life that can cause us to lose touch with ourselves. You may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you’re unable to relax or let go. If you've had to be the one keeping it together and supporting other people, you may be here because you feel like you're just treading water with no direction or sense of safety. Therapy can be a place for you to finally let those walls down, let go of the burden to be "the strong one" and reconnect with yourself.

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.
