Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.
I help high achievers and perfectionists struggling with trauma and PTSD by addressing how their perfectionistic drive can exacerbate their symptoms and hinder recovery. Together, we work to uncover how their need for control and high standards may contribute to their trauma responses. I provide evidence-based therapies to process and heal from past experiences while developing effective coping strategies. By fostering self-compassion and a balanced approach to their recovery, I help clients navigate their trauma in a way that allows them to regain control and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life. My goal is to support them in overcoming the challenges of PTSD while maintaining their sense of self-worth and resilience.
I am an expert in PTSD and its treatment. I'm trained in several evidenced-based treatments. I have experience treating assault trauma, combat trauma, traumas rooted in childhood, and many others. If you are feeling jumpy, upset by intrusive memories and suffering from nightmares, please contact me to begin your trauma recovery process.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is my psychotherapy model of choice when it comes to trauma processing. It worked wonders for the combat veterans and sexual trauma survivors I worked with at the Veterans Administration.
I specialize in helping individuals recover from Complex Trauma, Developmental Trauma, and PTSD. This can include emotional abuse or neglect in childhood or emotional abuse as an adult.

Trauma is a specialty for me. I have done hours of training on Trauma and PTSD. I use EMDR to work with trauma but along with EMDR a client must look at their patterns of thought, feeling and especially behavior. All of these work together. Once a trauma is processed, the patterns that go with the trauma must also change and grow.
I have been trained in trauma-informed care and I have found it is the root cause of many of our problems. I offer evidenced-based solutions to the problem of trauma and provide you space to process the scary stuff you've been through if you choose to.
