Navigating the effects of trauma in relationships can be overwhelming and isolating.
Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or misunderstood, as if no matter how hard you try you just can't get it right or aren't enough? It is so frustrating when our brain won't work like we know it should. I'd love to help you carry that burden while we work together to explore the underlying causes and work toward solutions. I aim to create a space free of judgment where you will be unconditionally supported and heard through your concerns and fears. I believe that you are the expert on your life and will bring my expertise to therapy while we collaboratively find the relief and balance that you seek.

For too long now you have been just trying to make it through the day wondering if anyone even sees you. It seems like all people in your life do is take advantage of you and take you for granted. You have a big heart and the best of intentions but you are exhausted from always putting everyone else before yourself. Everyone thinks you have it all together. They are quick to come to you for their needs. But on the rare occasion you let yourself slow down long enough to notice, inside you feel anxious, numb, and so very tired. You have sacrificed so much for the sake of others it seems like somehow you lost yourself along the way.

I utilize several treatment modalities, primarily through attachment and trauma-based lenses.
Life has a way of paralyzing us with negative “what if’s?" What if there was a way to become unstuck? What if someone sat in the muck with you? What if you could finally get through a conversation with your child or spouse without yelling or storming off? Those are just a few what-ifs we can explore together. Let's create a space where you feel seen, valued, and understood. Together we can create a space where things feel less lonely, complex, or overwhelming. A space where you feel like you have your child's spark back. Wouldn't you like life to feel a little more possible? A little less lonely? To see smiles instead of tears?

She has invested in maintaining competency to treat the following issues: OCD, BDD, Tics, Phobias, Anxiety Disorders, Illness Anxiety, and PTSD with flashbacks.
Many people with anxiety attempt to control their thoughts, avoid, or perform behaviors to prevent unease or a negative outcome, only for worry to return. This feels intuitive, but actually prolongs distress long-term by reinforcing the ideas of intolerance and that there is something to fear. It's human nature to experience some discomfort. With Exposure Therapy, you can gradually minimize fears with support and thrive *in spite of* discomforts the brain, body, & life send your way. Let's replace the confinements of certainty with the freedom of uncertainty.

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.
