My 34 years of experience have focused on treating various forms of psychological trauma.
The mission of my practice is to serve as a guide to mental wellness, whether overcoming traumatic experiences, battling depression or anxiety, managing anger, or adjusting to life's challenges.

Mental health issues, dysfunctional relationships, and hurtful conditions can interfere with the realization of one's hopes and dreams in all areas of life. I create collaborative, trusting relationships with my clients to seek healthy new ways of handling obstacles and making meaningful changes in their lives.

My philosophical orientation toward therapy tends to be "eclectic." In selecting treatment methods, therefore, I tend to draw ideas and techniques from a number of the major counseling approaches that are supported through research (e.g., cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, emotionally focused therapy and family systems therapy). During the early phase of counseling, I will encourage you to share information with me that will help me understand you and that will help me know more about the nature and history of the concerns that brought you to counseling (e.g., work, family, social relationships, health, and spirituality).

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.
