Trauma Therapy

I practice from a trauma informed perspective and know that everyone experiences traumatic moments in life. The first step in healing is creating a place where you feel safe. I will do my best to help you with that. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR and would be happy to incorporate that if you are interested.

I have specialized training Healing-Centered Trauma Informed care. I have been trained and certified in AIR (Adaptive Internal Relational) Network therapy.

My approach is informed by an extensive education and background in working with people who have experienced trauma. These include traumas of commission - the violent, terrifying, or life-altering acts you may have experienced - and traumas of omission - physical and emotional neglect, lack of security, terrifying aloneness. My clients have expressed appreciation for my warm, empathic, and attuned presence, my direct, no-nonsense approach, and my inexhaustible belief in their core humanity.

I believe past traumatic experiences have a lasting physical and emotional impact on our bodies, and it can be instrumental to your therapeutic treatment to process and heal those wounds in a safe and contained space.

Trauma can mean many different things and everyone responds differently. I aim to assist clients in cultivating their own emotional safety and to rely less on external circumstances. My idea of treatment is not about "what is wrong with you" as much as "what happened to you." We work on nervous system regulation, positive cognitions, emotional agility, and maintaining trusting relationships.

I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy and use evidence-based approaches to trauma treatment.

When traumatic events happen when our nervous systems are immature, we are at risk of developing PTSD later in life. Any kind of loss, such as bereavement from the loss of relationship with loved ones, grief from losing a pet, or despair from witnessing or experiencing violence, compound already at-risk nervous systems. I use Brainspotting, Depth Therapy, Art Therapy, Sandplay, Dream Analysis, and Somatics, to reduce life-limiting symptoms, restoring vital life energy for future possibilities.

I specialize in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET).

I use a "trauma lens" with all of my clients, as we are so often affected by scary or upsetting events, but don't know how to manage or process the various feelings that come along with them. I am trained in TF-CBT, and provide this service to children and teens experiencing symptoms of PTSD. TF-CBT provides space for children and teens to learn about their specified trauma and tell their story, as well as provides opportunity for parents to learn ways to best support their child

Trauma-focused therapy focuses on processing traumatic events to decrease the avoidance of the trauma, as well as, the people, places, thoughts, feelings, and memories related to the trauma.
