I passionately support women who struggle with anxiety, eating disorders, and birth trauma.
As someone who has looked for a therapist a few times, I understand how challenging and intimidating that search can feel. So, thank you for being here, and for having the strength and self-compassion to do the hardest part of therapy, and reach out for help. Whether you struggle with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, or hopelessness, therapy can help you extend grace to yourself and recognize your intrinsic worth. You deserve a safe space to vent your frustrations, explore your authentic self, silence the painful, isolating voices of trauma, and learn new ways to cope with the mental and emotional burdens you are facing.

I specialize in PTSD therapy, and all domains of OCD and all types of anxiety.
Anxiety can overwhelm us when a situation is important or meaningful. If it wasn't important, then anxiety wouldn't be there at all. When mental health is compromised, what is most important becomes affected, such as relationships, health, and spirituality. Somehow you've be able to push through until now. If you're exhausted, lost, and hopeless, I can help. We will work on gaining insight to understand what's going on in your life, and what to do about it. Often healing occurs along the way. You will use your strengths and gain skills. You CAN overcome what is holding you back. You CAN engage with the important parts of life again.

EMDR is a powerful therapy tool that can heal trauma and negative beliefs.
Do you feel like your emotions come out of nowhere? Your anxiety or depression getting worse, no matter what you do? A strange but relevant question I might ask is, "What did you eat today?" The foundation for mental health is nutrition. Our biochemistry is an essential part of our mental health which is often neglected. If we have low blood sugar or our brains are deficient in neurotransmitters, talk therapy will make slow progress. I can help you heal your brain with nutritional supplements and then we can process the issues that are causing you distress more effectively.

I am consistently amazed by the resilience of the human spirit, and Like Viktor Frankl, believe that “the most human of all human capabilities is the capability to turn a tragedy into a personal triumph, to transform suffering into a human achievement” (Frankl, 1963). Life’s challenges are not meant to break us but to propel us toward growth and personal fulfillment. In my practice, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their struggles, helping them uncover their inner strength and resilience.

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.
