For Clients
Trauma can feel like a cage keeping you trapped inside of behaviors, feelings, and situations that you desperately want to leave behind. With help, that cage can be turned into a catalyst for finding meaning and value in life. I work with my clients to open the door so that together, we can build a bridge from struggle to solid ground.

Most people think that “trauma” means undergoing extreme abuse, a natural disaster, or a near-death experience. In reality, trauma can be caused by experiencing any situation that was beyond your ability to cope and left you feeling an overwhelming amount of stress and/or isolation. It can occur in both childhood and adulthood and produces not only post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD, but also anxiety, depression, and changes to one’s personality.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with my clients to build a bond of trust and create a space that is safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative. In initial sessions, I do more listening than talking to ensure that I understand what you want to achieve in therapy. Then we work together to create a plan that will help you reach your specific goals. Often, trying to tackle trauma head-on has adverse effects, so I allow you to set the pace of therapy, approaching topics as you feel ready.
