Trauma Therapy and PTSD

Trauma is a response to a deeply distressing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope and diminishes a person’s sense of self. Trauma is often considered subjective, as it is a person’s internal beliefs and their innate sensitivity to the stress of these events. Many individuals who experience a traumatic event may have difficulty coping and adjusting, but with time, they get better. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops in response to experiencing or witnessing a distressing event. If an individual’s symptoms get worse, lasts for months to years and interfere with day-to-day activities, it might be PTSD.

I use a combination of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic approaches to help you process and unpack your trauma.

Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  EMDR is a well-researched and very effective form of therapy that helps individuals reprocess traumatic information until it is no longer psychologically disruptive. My advanced EMDR training allows me to apply this method in a more specialized way to meet the specific, complicated, and non-verbal needs of my clients.
