Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sometimes life is rough, sometimes you are the one who saw it, experienced it, or went through it. Most of these experiences we can think about, understand, and move on. But sometimes....there is that one ...(or more) which we can't just put down. It creeps into our dreams, it pushes into our heads when we drive by that spot, or look at that person who reminds us... It starts to take over our peace and impact our work, school, or relationships. When you have been through something hard that you cannot just let go and when you go home and others don't get it. It is time to reach out to someone who can help. It is possible to get this experience unstuck from your head, it is possible to turn things around. You can do things that you want to do rather than accepting that you are going to be damaged and struggle with certain things. You can let go of the anger, sleeplessness, and hypervigilance and connect with your family again and be happy. I offer four types of research-based therapies for trauma and PTSD: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF: CBT)
