Practice Information

If trauma from childhood or recent events is running your life—nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, low mood, overwhelming emotions, avoidance (drugs, alcohol, overworking, overscheduling), self-blame, guilt, shame, angry outbursts, always looking over your shoulder—you’re not broken, you’re stuck. My specialty is reducing Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms from childhood or recent trauma using a relational approach combined with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a 12–16 session, evidence-based program. Together we’ll challenge unrealistic, unbalanced, unhelpful thoughts within a structured, safe, contained space.

As your therapist, I bring warmth, clear structure, and proven tools. My specialty is reducing Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms with a relational approach and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT for PTSD). Expect better sleep, fewer nightmares and flashbacks, steadier emotions, less avoidance and self-blame, and more focus and control.

Ready to get unstuck? Book now or email me for a free 20-minute video or phone consultation. We’ll discuss your goals and make a clear plan. Start moving toward steadier sleep, fewer triggers, and more ease day to day.
