I am a therapist who is founded in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) who works with anxiety, trauma, and challenging life dynamics.
My clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves and overwhelmed with the challenging demands life presents them. Often they present as outwardly successful and are struggling internally with not feeling good enough. They tend to have histories of painful experiences and a misunderstanding of their nervous system’s needs. Despite feeling uncomfortable, they need someone who can sit and witness their pain with them. Many of my clients are individuals within the helping profession and are people going through life changes and transitions who desire to feel more grounded in their professional and personal identities.

It’s my greatest privilege to help people not just survive but thrive, to rediscover joy, purpose, and connection after loss, pain, or trauma.
Life has a way of testing us in ways we never imagined—whether it’s battling addiction, enduring the weight of grief and loss, coping with chronic pain, or facing the complexities of mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. As a therapist, my deepest belief is that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always hope and the possibility to heal. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, drawing on a variety of therapeutic techniques as well as the wisdom that comes from listening deeply to your story.

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.
