ART uses a combination of creative visualization, somatic awareness, and eye movements to quickly and gently transform the way you remember and respond to past traumatic experiences.
I believe that change happens when we go on endlessly creating ourselves. I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a short-term form of trauma therapy. Our work together will consist of diminishing the limiting negative beliefs that interrupt your everyday life and decreasing the distressing emotional and physical responses to traumatic memories and experiences.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression and couples therapy.
I find that people come to therapy because they are struggling and they want things to change. I often tell my clients that if they could have changed things on their own they would have. There are times when you need help to reach your full potential, that’s where I come in. I help clients work on stopping the negative thinking and beliefs that are attributing to what is keeping them stuck so they can make the transformations they want in their lives.

Do you struggle with things not making sense? Or feel stress more intensely or more negatively compared to others? Do you often feel lost, angry, disconnected, or “in a fog” as you move throughout your day? Are you constantly overwhelmed, afraid, scared, or anxious to show up in the world? Do you wonder whether your relationships or life in general could ever be better? Now more than ever, men, women, and teenagers are feeling more stress and strain in their day to day lives, which is often an indicator of unresolved trauma. Fortunately, I believe there is a way through the emotional turmoil caused by unresolved trauma.

I specialize in the areas of trauma and abuse, sexual abuse, sexuality, depression and anxiety and couples counseling.
I believe that individuals are uniquely designed with an inner connectedness spanning our cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual experiences. Because of this design, health and healing are best found through strengthening each of these interconnected elements of our being. My therapeutic approaches are based upon this belief. With couples, I use a hope-focused (strengths based) approach, while examining the family dynamics, or "systems" that are in effect. When working with individuals, I use Cognitive Behavioral approach (CBT), client-centered and systems approaches to holistically facilitate growth, healing and increased self-awareness.

I regularly work with individuals who are stepping down from higher level of care and want specialized support, along with those who are ready to take the leap to work on their relational wounds and trauma.
You notice the constant noise between your ears telling you to meet the needs of others, and obsess about how you are perceived by others. You read the books and listen to the podcasts, but you feel like you are the outlier, as everyone else seems to have things figured out, while you continue to struggle with anxiety, how you feel in your body, and with your story. You feel out of control in your life—with your relationship with yourself and with others—and are tired of feeling like you are reacting to the world around you. You are ready to respond differently and create a new way of living.

When you feel unsure, stressed or simply not like yourself, any decision can feel overwhelming and challenging to navigate. This uncertainty combined with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma can lead to feeling paralyzed. Working together in therapy can be a supportive and gentle antidote to this paralysis and fear. I believe in being kind, direct and action-oriented in therapy, and I look forward to helping you find a direction, and confidence in your direction, in our time together. I practice from a strengths based, trauma informed perspective and believe forming a strong therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance.

Asking for help is a vulnerable and courageous act. Keep going! Alongside the joy and wonder this life can bring, we will also be struck by grief, major life changes, trauma, relationship struggles, acute or chronic stress, and crises of mental, spiritual or physical health. Sometimes we need help. Therapy with a provider that you feel safe and understood by can help you to heal and grow. "We don't have to do it alone. We were never meant to" - Brené Brown

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.
