Trauma & PTSD THerapy For Sarasota, FL
I Can Help You Experience Life Better
Flashbacks. Shock. Fear. Hyper-Vigilance.
You are constantly on guard. Triggers can come from anywhere. It’s impossible to trust anyone.
It’s like watching a scary movie. On edge all the time. Scared and anxious. You live this way all day, everyday.
The scenery around you changes, but you are stuck in a state of reliving your trauma– preoccupied with the next real or imagined threat.
You feel powerless. You want to move forward in life, but your trauma either has you driving in circles or going the wrong way.
You may have had thoughts like…
- Will I ever heal from this?
- Why do I respond this way when other people can “just go on” with their life?
- How do I stop letting my trauma define me?
If you feel trapped by overwhelming, unpredictable and persistent trauma-related emotions, it is likely you are also feeling helpless and hopeless.
You want to recover and heal, but are uncertain where to begin. The impact of unresolved trauma can be devastating. It can negatively affect our self-esteem, habits, relationships, health, decision-making and lead to self-destructive behaviors.
The reality is, healing is possible. Within a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, you can manage, heal and recover from the effects of trauma.
It’s Time for a Change
Trauma survivors can not “just get over” their trauma. It takes time, patience and work. I am here to support you through the process.
Taking the first step toward getting help can be anxiety provoking, but it can also be life changing. You deserve to live a life free from the burdens of trauma.
I am looking forward to helping you begin your therapy journey.
The after effects of therapy can be transformative.

Rates & FAQ
I charge $100 per session.
I am considered an "Out-Of-Network" provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. If you would like to use your insurance, then I am able to provide you with a monthly receipt called a "Superbill" and you can submit this to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. I recommend calling your insurance provider directly and checking with them to confirm if you have "Out Of Network" benefits.
Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.
Many of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. Insurance can also put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.
And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people. Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.
I bought a ukulele recently with the goal of learning how to play….it’s not going so well. My dogs don’t appreciate my musical skills, but I’m determined to master it!
