My professional interests include, trauma-related issues (including combat-related PTSD), family-of-origin issues (for example, strained family relationships stemming from difficulties experienced in childhood), codependence/self-actualization, depression/anxiety, and self-worth issues including those stemming from ADHD-related struggles.
You already possess the ability to reach your full potential. My job as your therapist is to listen, walk alongside you, and help you move toward this potential. People seek therapy because they desire happiness. Let's begin by discovering what happiness looks like for you. Do you feel unheard, dismissed and over-ridden by a parent or partner even though you are an adult? Do you feel as though attempting to set new boundaries for yourself is next to impossible because important others will simply disregard them? Therapy can help you learn to fully validate within yourself what it is you feel and believe, and what it is you consider to be important. Peace, authenticity, and balance are springboards to happiness. My goal is to offer you individualized help in overcoming the obstacles that are blocking that happiness. Taking a step, reaching out for some help, will lead you to the change and growth you are hoping for. And whether you are seeking thriving relationships or simply greater contentment, I will help you tap into your own innate strengths to bring about a fuller, happier life.

We can help you understand the following various responses to traumatic past: addiction in its many forms, trouble focusing/concentrating or difficulty eating, sleeping or remaining hygienic or help you understand behaviors related to control or self-esteem, risky behaviors (cutting, burning), or thoughts of or attempting suicide/homicide.
Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

Are you ready to re-write your story? I have been working with clients for the last four years in out-patient settings helping them discover the stories that have been waiting for them. As we live our lives, we tell ourselves a story about our past, what we hope or fear for our future, and have an on-going narrative about what’s happening in our present-day life. But sometimes those stories have become distorted in the telling, based on our experiences, unhealthy thought patterns, and toxic relationships. But distorted stories aren’t the true story about who we are. Together, let's re-write your true story.

I specialize in trauma and infant & early childhood mental health and believe in healing (particularly intergenerational healing) as a radical and courageous act. If you want to compassionately challenge patterns - whether shifting patterns held in your nervous system or parenting differently than the way you were parented, and work with a human who engages critical exploration of the broader patterns of historical and systemic trauma that got us here, you've come to the right place.

Challenges with our children can often lead to feelings of shame, embarrassment and frustration; you are not alone. While I wish there was a manual for how to respond to each challenge that arises, I am realistic and transparent in recognizing there is no "one size fits all" approach to parenting. You and your child are the experts of your experiences, and I hope to utilize your strengths and work alongside you as you identify your goals and work to pursue your vision of wellness.

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.
