I support clients processing through many different places in life - trauma, grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, symptom reductions, and more.
One Christmas season it had rained a lot. I attempted to circle my yard with my car to slide out of my drive way, and I got stuck. The more I tried to get out the more stuck I became. Finally, I had to do what I was dreading and call a tow truck to get me out of my own yard! Well, sometimes in life, we get stuck in our own mud, and we have to call help to get us out.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m qualified to work both with couples dealing with relationship issues, as well as individuals who may be dealing with mental health concerns, relational issues, trauma, and many other situations.
A personal, face-to-face encounter with a therapist can help you figure out what is happening in your life and give you tools to get you headed back in the right direction. Whether you're struggling with a relationship, work-family life out of balance, or feeling depressed and anxious, therapy can be a brief solution to help you get back to being at your best. In your first visit with me, we'll get to know each other and start defining the problem. Later, I'll give you some specialized assessments, and then we will create goals together and begin the process of fixing the problem.

Beginning therapy can be the most vulnerable and brave step a person can take towards getting the help they deserve. It can be overwhelming to think of opening up to a new therapist about one’s innermost challenges without knowing if they will judge you or invalidate you altogether. That is why I strive to provide all my clients with a safe and affirming space. As a contextual therapist, I believe that change is best facilitated by exploring your family-of-origin relationships and tracking patterns in current relationships to help you understand how to work towards healing past wounds and strengthening those relationships.

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.
