Based on client preferences and fit, I used a combination of trauma sensitive treatments including EMDR, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and Solution Focused Treatment.
My client often has experiences of loss, pain, even abuse that take away predictability of safety. These losses can cause significant fears leading them to question who they are and who they can trust. Be it a lost or difficult relationship, a break with a religion you grew up in, or a change in how you see yourself at this new phase of life, together we can ease those fears and identify the next steps to making life feel easier, more fulfilling, and a genuine fit for who you are.

I’m passionate about trauma work and prefer using EMDR to assist in the work that we do together.
Taking the step to enter therapy can be incredibly scary because you may wonder about, whether you’ll feel comfortable or safe to talk about your stuff. I want you to know that, no problem is too big or small for me to explore with you. Therapy can be a space for you to vent, heal, learn about yourself, obtain tools and skills, bounce ideas or get advice/solutions. It can be what you need it to be.

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.
