I strive to create a safe and inclusive space with zero judgment. My goal is to help you navigate life’s struggles in a way that’s empowering drawing from your true strengths. Cultivating a place of growth and self discovery to enable a more positive outlook to life is my overall mission. During my time in the military, I realized my gift was to help people with their mental health instead of physically protecting them. My areas of specialty are anxiety, depression, grief, transitional periods, substance use, and trauma.

As such, I am familiar with veterans issues and have extensive experience with trauma and marital therapy.
In my practice, I focus on setting clear goals and tailoring treatment to meet those goals. I meet my clients where they are. If my client(s) wants to work on problems with daily struggles, difficulties reaching their full potential, or improving their marriage, I will help them achieve that. If they want to deal with symptoms of a mood or anxiety disorder, than I will leverage my extensive training with these conditions to help achieve symptom reduction. Throughout the treatment process, I can call upon various methods of psychotherapy, but I always maintain a clear vision to guide our work.

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.
