Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, ATR-BC
Trauma and PTSD can effect many areas of life but it doesn’t have to. I use the treatment and process of therapy based on my client’s needs. I often utilize art therapy in addition to traditional therapy for cathartic release. Art therapy incorporates and engages both sides of the brain to assist in release and problem solving at same time. Artist skills are not necessary for the therapeutic process.
I can help process and heal from trauma by employing trauma-informed care, empathy, and evidence-based interventions, fostering resilience and empowering clients to reclaim emotional well-being.

For a number of years I have been doing Veteran's exams, having the honor of hearing, often for the first time in their lives, the traumas they have had that are continuing to live in their lives years later. Those experiences have made me much less afraid to help people to speak the unspeakable, knowing that is the first step to taking back their lives.
Trauma and PTSD involve emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms that interfere with functioning. CBT and biofeedback are effective interventions to trauma and PTSD.
