Certain life experiences and relationships can leave us feeling stuck and unable to be our true selves. I am here to support individuals process and heal from past and present trauma that often surfaces as anxiety and depression. My work involves guiding clients to empower themselves by being the source of their own healing. I am inspired and humbled to be part of the journey of a person who has released emotional burdens and no longer views themselves or the world through the lens of fear, guilt, shame and hurt. Rather, these feelings are replaced with self-compassion, understanding and personal growth.

My area of expertise is helping women aged 16 and above who are struggling with relationship trauma, PTSD/ trauma, depression, early childhood attachment issues, anxiety, self-esteem, and women's issues such as perimenopause/menopause, spirituality, and life/career transitions.
Have you been struggling with being overwhelmed with childhood trauma, or narcissistic abuse from a partner or family member? I am an EMDR therapist who has helped clients heal from their wounds of abuse. I have also helped clients ease the pain by lessening the stress on the body from Endometriosis and Fibromyalgia. EMDR does not heal the medical conditions but can help reduce the pain.

My work has been with those who experience trauma pain and develop many emotions.
Experiencing a heavy heart of pain from a small or sizeable traumatic experience can keep one from receiving a life of joy. So many times, we desire to lay that burden down, but we are unsure how to free ourselves from the hurt. Hope is available. There is a process that can help anyone ready for a change. My clients say they experience me as non-judgmental and caring while they process their painful places. I have a way of understanding and helping them to find answers to their hurts in an environment where they feel safe, so they can bring their concerns into a therapy session and gain healing.

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.
