Introduction

Ready to start treating your trauma and PTSD? Not sure where to start? I am here to help. California, Idaho, Florida Telehealth I am here for the average person who has seen and experienced events that are not average. Events that you cannot just “forget.” Struggling with sleeplessness, dreams of being there, always trying to get your brain to shut down so you can relax, feeling shame, guilt, anger, and numbness…they didn’t prepare you for this. Having images just push their way into your brain reminding you of that thing, those people, that feeling. They teach you how to do your job, but not how to deal with the consequences. You are fine when surrounded by others who understand, but when you have to go home or lose that comradery... You feel inadequate, a disappointment, or a burden because you cannot explain to your family why you are not there for them or why you are so worried or angry about certain things. Once you accept how much control you really can have in your recovery...and take responsibility to learn the tools... you can turn things around. You can do things that you want to do rather than accepting that you are going to be damaged and struggle with certain things. You can connect with your family again and be happy. In my work, I use some of the most effective therapy methods available today such as EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients work through their past trauma and overcome depression and anxiety. I help people who want to change and grow to learn the skills to do so. I help people heal from the trauma and dysfunction that is preventing them from leading their best lives. I work with individuals of almost all ages and children and their parents to help them overcome traumatic experiences, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My specialty is trauma. Trauma from work, the military, first responders, trauma from life, domestic violence, abuse, and/or trauma from childhood. If you are ready to work, want change, and are willing to put in the effort then I am ready to work by your side. My sessions are conducted online via teletherapy allowing the greatest flexibility and privacy for you. No more having to schedule in extra time to drive to an office, missing more work, worrying about someone you know seeing you going to counseling, canceling appointments if you are on vacation (some limitations apply), or missing an appointment because you only remembered 5 minutes before your time that you had one scheduled. Simply pick up your phone, laptop, or tablet and log on. All you need is a good internet connection or cellular service and privacy.
