Utilizing trauma-informed approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting, I assist in processing and healing from traumatic experiences, helping you move toward recovery and resilience.
I have been working with PTSD clients for over 30 years. I was trained in EMDR by Dr. Shapiro and have been re-certified over the years. Nightmares, flashbacks, poor concentration, anxiety and avoidant behaviors may all be a part of PTSD. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy in partnership with Journey Clinical, for eligible clients suffering from PTSD.

Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

Trauma can feel so overwhelming. It has a way of infecting every area of one's life. In my work with those who experience trauma I take a collaborative approach where we assess and address the trauma from all angles. We use talk therapy to process what has gone unaddressed and discover together the meaning made and the effect it had on you in your relationship with yourself and others. I also use evidence-based practices like EMDR and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral) Therapy which allows us to address cognitive distortions and negative beliefs you hold about yourself so that you can overcome the pain and suffering and experience more joy and freedom.
