My expertise spans ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, and EMDR, offering a compassionate, holistic approach.
As a humanistic licensed professional counselor, I envision my ideal client as an individual brimming with untapped potential, navigating the complex labyrinth of life's challenges. You may be an adult or an adolescent grappling with the nuances of ADHD, the shadows of depression, the restlessness of anxiety, or the echoes of past trauma. Perhaps you're seeking healing and growth, exploring pathways like EMDR or considering the transformative journey of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). Your needs are unique, your story, profound. You are seeking to chart a course toward a life that feels both authentic and fulfilling.

I treat debilitating anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma caused by infidelity and narcissistic abuse, especially those going through high conflict divorce, post-separation abuse, parallel parenting problems, and court trauma.
You're going through a high-conflict divorce, and it feels like a constant battle. The person you once loved is now a stranger, turning every interaction into a warzone. You’re exhausted, emotionally drained, and feel like you’re walking on eggshells all the time. No one truly understands the manipulation and chaos you’re enduring, and you're embarrassed to admit how bad it has become. You can barely sleep, can’t focus, and yet you know you have to keep going—especially for your kids. Every day feels like a fight for survival, and you're left wondering if you'll ever truly break free from this nightmare.

I typically work with adults, teenagers, and children who are new to therapy or have had a difficult time connecting with therapists in the past. My patients often remark how our sessions can feel like a natural conversation, putting themselves at ease when trying therapy for the first time. I tend to be sought out by those who have had negative experiences in childhood whether defined as trauma, neglect, or general emotional inattention or wounding. This often looks like feeling nervous about good things happening because one wonders when the other foot is going to drop or always saying "yes" when the answer is "no."

This program can be done individually or in a group setting depending on your preference. Are you an emotional eater? Do you find yourself eating when you're stressed out, overwhelmed, exhausted, or even sad? Do you reach for food unconsciously to soothe yourself? Maybe you even find yourself eating when you're not really hungry? Emotional and physical hunger can feel identical unless you've learned to identify their distinguishing characteristics. Discover what you are truly hunger for (hint: it's not food) and release your unwanted weight with Trim-Life.

Let's get to the heart of these matters: anxiety, abuse, sexual assault, trauma, low self-esteem, wobbly boundaries, codependency, spirituality, grief, transitions, parenting, polyamory, ACOA issues, and quitting smoking.
Accurate support is about exquisite attention to what is needed so you can make your way back to the freedom of your natural flow. It’s about deep listening, presence and compassion as you press onward, with great care, into the discomfort where the healing lies. You show yourself that you matter by engaging with accurate support. Being true to yourself is a bold act of love and a demonstration of strength. It's possible to learn how to stop judging yourself, make choices that align with your insides, successfully navigate relationships, trust yourself and move into a heart-centered, peaceful life.

Horses have an innate sense of the suffering of their herd. They are hyper-attuned to the needs of others around them. When I work with my horses they are able to pick up on the underlying needs and desires of my clients. They know when you are feeling angry, isolated, or restless. The horses are able to attune to your emotions while I help you to put those feelings into words and do the necessary work to solve life's challenges.

Are you in a relationship with someone with out of control, problematic sexual behaviors or “sex addiction” then you might be experiencing symptoms of post traumatic stress in response to the discovery of the sexual acting out. “The partner of a sex addict has responses that serve as reactions to a stressor that is traumatic in nature, in predictable emotional, behavioral, and physiological ways. She seeks what she cannot find: safety in an unsafe situation.” Dr. Barbara Steffens (APSATS founding President).

Trauma and PTSD Support Groups

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.
