I strive to not make assumptions, but to listen to you with an open mind, to respect you and your feelings, to be sensitive yet objective and flexible, honest, and direct. My challenge is to craft a treatment specifically for you and your unique needs and to keep you clearly in my focus.
I utilize prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD and TF-CBT to help clients with trauma decrease PTSD symptoms and increase tolerance around their trauma memory/experience. This allows clients to reengage into society and improves their ability to experience joy/pleasure in their day to day lives.

Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a safe space to explore the unconscious impacts of traumatic experiences. We'll work together to gently uncover hidden memories, emotional conflicts, and defense mechanisms that may be keeping you stuck. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, we can facilitate healing, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and empower you to reclaim a sense of safety and control in your life.

Therapy can offer tremendous benefits to individuals who have experienced trauma or are grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traumatic experiences can manifest in various ways and significantly impact our daily lives. Through therapy, we can collaboratively process and heal from these experiences, creating a safe and nurturing environment to explore and comprehend their effects on our mental well-being. If you or a loved one are exhibiting symptoms of trauma or PTSD, I extend an invitation to reach out and schedule an appointment with me. Taking that first step towards healing may be daunting, but it can also be incredibly empowering. Let's embark on this journey of growth and recovery together.

Need help overcoming PTSD or anxiety due to chronic medical issues? Let's work together to help you heal from your life's traumatic challenges and keep moving forward.
PTSD makes you feel stressed and afraid after the danger is over. It affects your life and the people around you. PTSD starts at different times for different people. Signs of PTSD may start soon after a frightening event and then continue. Other people develop new or more severe signs months or even years later. Trauma can be different things to different people: (experiencing natural disasters, childhood abuse and neglect, survivor of domestic violence, etc)

I am an EMDR trauma therapist with over 11 years experience working with clients with PTSD symptoms. I am knowledgable in different treatment methods to approach and work with clients who have experienced either complex childhood trauma or a person who has had a recent traumatic event, such as a car accident, abuse or assault. I utilize different approaches depending on the client's needs, level of distress and ability to regulate emotions. I am a believer in mind-body therapy techniques to promote healing and emotions regulation.
PTSD represents a unique set of causative circumstances which are accounted for in the creation of a treatment plan directed at the specific needs of the client through such approaches as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic therapy.
