What I treat
What I treat.
My practice centres on trauma and the ways it shapes how people cope, relate, and see themselves. Below are the areas I work in most — each one connected to the others in ways that often surprise people.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma doesn't always look like a single dramatic event. It can be the accumulation of things that happened — or things that should have happened but didn't. I work with people navigating PTSD, occupational stress injuries, complex trauma, and the lasting effects of experiences that changed how they move through the world. I'm trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a first-line, evidence-based treatment for PTSD.

Retirement, career change, relationship shifts, becoming a parent, losing a role that defined you — transitions can feel like grief even when they're chosen. I work with people who are high-functioning but quietly unmoored, trying to figure out who they are when the structure they built their identity around no longer fits.

The inner critic that never lets up. The sense that you're fundamentally flawed, or that your worth depends entirely on what you produce. Shame is one of the most painful human experiences, and one of the least talked about. I work with people who are exhausted by how hard they are on themselves — and who want to understand where that came from.

Substance use and other coping strategies usually start as solutions. They work — until they don't. I take a trauma-informed approach to addictions work, which means we look at what the coping strategy was doing for you, not just what it's costing you. I have specific experience working with first responders and others in high-stress roles where substance use is normalized.

Constantly putting others first. Difficulty saying no. A sense of self that depends on being needed. These patterns often have deep roots in early attachment experiences and are reinforced by environments that reward self-sacrifice. I work with people who have spent so long taking care of everyone else that they've lost track of themselves.

Most people I work with are dealing with more than one of these areas — they're connected. If you're not sure whether what you're carrying fits here, reach out. A free 15-minute consultation is a good place to start.
