Life Coach, Trauma, PTSD, BSc Sciences, DoD Career Councilor, SARC, DAPA, Pre Licensed Human Intelligence / Psychology, Life Coach. | Professional Support: LSSBB, PgM, Bluestone PMP,
I am trained to handle your trauma and PTSD symptoms. We can work together to help uncover root cause and put you on a path and get your resources in addition that will help your recovery.
I see trauma in a broad sense- any experience that was too overwhelming to process in the moment and is stored in the body/mind. Gently, we can integrate and find freedom from these experiences.
I utilize an integrative approach of body-centered and evidence based trauma treatments to help address both interpersonal or situation-based traumas. I have a depth of experiencing working with military veterans and addressing developmental, combat, and sexual trauma.
Trauma therapy has come light years in the last decade. You do not have to relive, or dig up past experiences to heal. I work with both trauma and attachment disruptions, in order to heal going forward and flourish. Through a myriad of relational tools, let's change the landscape and help you get on with your life.
Trauma may be something horrific or something that you tell yourself "it wasn't so bad, others have it worse." We often make light of the things that hurt or scared us or made us feel less than, however, your struggles matter just as much as anyone else's. When trauma is severe, we develop patters that you might call "PTSD"- patterns of fear, hopelessness, constantly being on edge, having to avoid so many things. Trauma is stored in our bodies and our bodies remember. But there is hope and help is available. Therapies like EMDR (which I am fully certified in) heal both the body and mind. Adding in other treatments like polyvagal based exercises or mindfulness can go even further. I have been through it myself and I know that transformation is possible.
