Trauma isn't always obvious. The small traumas we experience throughout life can build up within us, creating an underlying sense of discomfort, insecurity, and helplessness. It devalues our self-worth and self-esteem. It creates conflict in our relationships. It exacerbates the stress we already encounter on a day-to-day basis. I help my clients navigate the vulnerable experience of telling their story, processing their hurt, and journeying towards positive change and growth. Healing may not come easily; but it is possible with support, compassion, and determination. I specialize in trauma therapy, particularly Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I draw from Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have over 10 years of experience as a counselor and in addition to trauma, I work with depression and anxiety, grief, and interpersonal relationships. It can be difficult to start the process of therapy. It's hard to know if a therapist will be the right fit for you, and if they take your insurance, and if your schedules will align. I know how frustrating it can be. Please feel free to reach out to me with your questions. I am happy to help however I can.
