As a trauma therapist, I am certified in both EMDR and CPT, two of the gold standards of care for those struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
My style is best described as one blending gratitude, realism and compassion. Similarly, with certifications in both DBT and EMDR, I find working with others to be an enriching process as well as learning how to be resilient in the face of change. I have also completed Level 1 Clinician Training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy in order to help couples become better at communicating with one another and bridging those gaps which often occur in relationships.

My passion lies in trauma work with adolescents and adults.
How often do you find yourself saying "I’m fine?" Are you in a career field that requires you to be "on" all the time? Does asking for help equal weakness or feel shameful? Maybe you can’t share what goes on in your day because you see and hear the worst of this world. You don’t enjoy the activities you used to and snap at your loved ones with irritation at the slightest request. Perhaps you've survived the unimaginable, but now you really want to live. I imagine it took a significant amount of courage to get to this point. I'll honor your bravery in reaching out and give you the tools to actively participant in your life again.

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.
