IN-PERSON THERAPY IN CAMBRIDGE, OHIO + ONLINE THERAPY
Trauma Therapy for Adults in Cambridge, Ohio
For first responders, professionals, neurodivergent adults, and people who have been through things they can't quite seem to leave behind.
Most people I work with are still getting through their days.
They're working, taking care of their families, showing up for other people, and doing what needs to get done. Some are first responders or work in other high-stress professions. Some have been in therapy before and understand themselves pretty well already.
They're usually not coming to therapy because everything has completely fallen apart.
They're coming because something still isn't right.

You Can Be Functioning and Still Need Help.
Trauma doesn’t always look the way people expect it to. Maybe sleep is off, you’re more irritable, or you can’t stop replaying things. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than you can name Sometimes there’s a clear event. Other times it’s years of buildup. And sometimes you just know you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
That’s enough to start with.
WHO I WORK WITH
A Lot of My Clients Are Used to Being the Capable One.
I work with adults with all kinds of backgrounds and reasons for coming to therapy, but I tend to connect especially well with people who are used to handling things.
First Responders
Police, fire, EMS, dispatch, and other high-stress roles where exposure can build over time.
Sometimes it’s one call that sticks.. or years of cumulative stress- or realizing work doesn’t fully stay at work anymore. You might still be doing your job well while noticing that sleep, patience, or life outside of work are starting to feel different.
Helping Professionals
Therapists, healthcare workers, teachers, social workers, and caregivers who spend a lot of time showing up for other people.
You can know the skills, use them every day, and still have a hard time applying them when you’re the one who needs help.
Neurodivergent Adults
Adults with ADHD, autism, or later-in-life identification who may have felt misunderstood or out of place in therapy before.
We work with how your brain works, including the patterns, challenges, and strengths that come with it, instead of trying to fit you into strategies that were never a particularly good fit.
Life Changes + Perinatal Mental Health
Adults navigating divorce, career changes, pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood, or other major life shifts.
I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health and support clients through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
Trauma Therapy for First Responders in Ohio
You probably don't need a therapist to tell you that your job is stressful.
You also probably don't want to spend three appointments explaining your job before you can get to the reason you scheduled therapy.
I work with first responders dealing with poor sleep, irritability, hypervigilance, feeling numb or disconnected, replaying calls, cumulative exposure, relationship stress, or a particular experience that hasn't really gone away.
Sometimes there's one call. Sometimes there have been hundreds.
And sometimes you just know that work is showing up at home more than it used to.
I see first responders in person in Cambridge, Ohio and online, depending on where you live and what works for your schedule.

What It's Like to Work With Me
I'm pretty direct in therapy, but I'm not harsh.
If I think we're circling around something important, I'll probably say so. If something doesn't seem to be helping, I want us to be able to talk about that too.
I'm also not particularly formal. I don't love the clinical feeling of sitting across a desk from someone, and I've intentionally made my office feel more comfortable than that. There's coffee. You can get settled. You don't need to show up knowing exactly what you're supposed to say.
Depending on what we're working on, I may use EMDR, Brainspotting, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), somatic work, parts work, CBT-I, or regular old conversation.
You don't need to know which one you need before you contact me. That's part of my job.
TRAUMA TREATMENT
Sometimes Talking About It Isn't the Part That's Missing.
A lot of people who come to me have already talked about what happened. They understand it. They've made connections. They know their triggers.
And they're still having the reaction. That's one reason my work includes several trauma-focused approaches.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR can help process experiences that are technically over but still don't quite feel over.
It gives us a way to work with those experiences without requiring you to spend session after session retelling every detail of what happened.
EMDR Intensives
Sometimes 50 minutes is plenty. Other times, we're finally getting somewhere and it's time to stop and pick it back up next week.
EMDR intensives give us a longer block of uninterrupted time to focus on the work.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting can be useful when you know something is there but have a hard time putting it into words.
It gives us another way to work with experiences and reactions that talking about them hasn't fully changed.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD that looks at how trauma can change the way you think about yourself and what happened.
IF YOU'VE DONE THERAPY BEFORE
A Lot of My Clients Have Already Been in Therapy.
You might already know your triggers. You might know exactly where some of your patterns came from.
That's useful. We're not going to pretend you don't know anything about yourself because you're sitting in a new therapist's office.
But knowing why something happens and being able to stop it from happening are two different things.
You can understand why you shut down during conflict and still shut down. You can know a situation isn't dangerous and still feel your heart start racing.
If you've gotten a lot from therapy but there are things that haven't changed, we can build from there.
IN-PERSON + ONLINE THERAPY

In Person
I see clients at the Post Storm Therapy office:
319 Wheeling Ave
Cambridge, OH 43725
I've intentionally made the office comfortable and informal. You can come in, grab a coffee, sit down, and get settled.
It doesn't feel much like a doctor's office on purpose.
Online
I also offer online therapy throughout Ohio, with virtual services available to eligible clients in Indiana and Minnesota.
Online therapy can be a good option if you live farther from Cambridge, have a schedule that makes getting to the office difficult, or just prefer being on your own couch.

GETTING STARTED
Not Sure Yet? We Can Talk for 15 Minutes.
You don't need to send me your life story through a contact form.
The consultation is just a chance for us to talk briefly about why you're looking for therapy, what you'd like help with, and any questions you have about working with me.
I'll let you know whether I think I'm a good fit for what you're looking for, too.
Then you can decide what you want to do next.
