I attained my doctorate degree at Liberty University in trauma counseling.
My therapeutic approach employs flexible integration. This style enables the counseling experience to be tailored to the individual needs and style of each client. This can range from behavioral to psychodynamic techniques. The methods are different but complimentary in order to give each client the most effective experience. Clients will feel free to express their innermost thoughts, feelings, and ideas through a non-threatening, non-judgmental environment. Utilizing techniques that complement each unique personality will enable clients to gain confidence in achieving their goals.

As a trauma survivor myself, I honor your willingness and courage to be a cycle-breaker.
Do you feel unseen or unheard? Maybe you feel like you don't quite belong? Or maybe you don't feel anything at all? Maybe you feel like you just aren’t "good enough." You might feel frustrated, confused, or guilty about why you lash out at those closest to you. Maybe you feel like you have been faking it through life and hiding behind your busyness. You may feel stuck in relationships and avoid conflicts so you pretend like things are fine. Maybe you are just scared to take up space and speak up for yourself. Is childhood or complex trauma keeping you isolated, trapped, and disconnected? Therapy can help you live abundantly!

Starting therapy can be seen as a difficult thing to initiate, at least that was my experience when I first started therapy and it is for many other people too. If you're someone that is ready to gain better foundational knowledge of self and others; or wanting to work through past events that are now lingering for far too long with your present day self; or wanting to gain skills to better manage the stress that comes with the unknown of tomorrow, the first step is to set up a consultation. There is no harm in simply making a phone call or sending an email to see which therapist best fits your needs.

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.
