Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

PTSD can be successfully treated through several different modalities, including (but not limited to) Stress Inoculation Training, Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Body-Based Therapies, and medications. Additional treatments for the symptoms of PTSD may be beneficial as well (for example, Imagery Rehearsal Therapy for recurring nightmares). My goal is to help you find what works best for you on your healing journey through continual feedback and communication.

I am passionate about helping mental health therapists sustain in this field! More and more therapists are chronically burnt out, lonely, overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated. We deserve to put ourselves first, align with our specific values and desires, and keep our fire steadily lit with our passion for helping others. Therapists who are living sustainable lives have the power to change the world.

You may be seeking a non-judgmental and knowledgeable space to better understand your experiences of gender, sexuality, and relationships. You might be experiencing barriers in your sexual and relational health: you feel out of control, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns. Or you may seek a space that affirms your gender and sexuality, non-traditional relationships, and your intersectional identities to discuss other mental health needs or life transitions. I welcome all of you here.

PTSD can be be based on simple or complex trauma. Simple trauma is one-off, like a car accident or an assault. Complex trauma results from continued, repeated exposure to traumatic events, such as childhood abuse or neglect. Both can be treated with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), but complex trauma takes longer and requires more preparation with mindfulness and safety building.

Sometimes we feel stuck, lost, hopeless, stressed, or maybe even all of the above. We have past experiences that still hurt or that we would prefer to forget. We question our place in the universe or where we are headed. All of these ways of being are part of our journey through life, but they are made more tolerable and may even be transformative when you have someone to help sort things out, explore and discover, bounce ideas off of, or even just plain bear witness to your experience.
