You may be experiencing acute stress following a threatening event, or you may have developed symptoms after repeated, cumulative stress.

As a trauma recovery therapist I aim to help you address the root causes of your symptoms, and reconnect with a sense of peace in your mind and body, even after the most difficult and life-altering events.
Some of the trauma-informed treatment approaches I’m trained in include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and somatic therapy.
You are unique, and I tailor my approach to fit your needs. A key part of this process is developing a trusting relationship, and over time we’ll explore what kind of support is most helpful for you.
