Yes...therapy can help you: Be like the teens, who finally feel fully understood. Or the adults, who really need an attentive guide during a mid-life crisis. Or be like the ones who just got off-track in life, but were able to get refocused on their path. Or the folks with personal trauma who dive deeper with Brainspotting. Or be like those who use Art Therapy or SandTray Therapy to express themselves and thus, grow a level of self-respect that everyone can see, and appreciate. Let’s create a therapeutic space full of TRUST so that you can safely heal. My work begins with some assessment and some emotional first aide, and then...

I am passionate about working with anyone who is suffering, especially those who have survived trauma, including interpersonal trauma and cultural trauma that marginalized communities have endured.
Let’s get to the root of your suffering together. Many people seek out therapy because they feel trapped in an endless loop of suffering. This is especially true of trauma survivors. I believe that we can only begin the journey toward wholeness by uncovering the roots of suffering. Then, we can heal by integrating the unconscious aspects of ourselves and our experiences into the conscious fullness of who we are as human beings.

Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and view of others.
Nothing is more difficult than relationships. And nothing means more to you. All of us are hard-wired to be in relationship, to care for and be cared for by others. But what do you do when differences lead to never-ending battles because you never get close to the real issues? Or when withdrawal leads to resentments that are never addressed at all. I would like to help you remember your strengths that brought you together in the first place, feel relief as you share what is important to you, and appreciate each other's differences, which may really be a strength.

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.
