Trauma Treatment
Helping you feel safe and hopeful again.
Do you feel like your life changed significantly after a highly stressful or traumatic event? Like many trauma survivors, you just don’t feel the same after the fact. You feel isolated, scared, and numb. Memories of the trauma may consume you; you feel disconnected from your life. You may startle easily and constantly be on the lookout for danger. If this describes you, you may also experience the following symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder:
- nightmares
- flashbacks to the traumatic event
- excessive anger and impulsivity
- feeling distance or cut off from others
- struggling to feel positive emotions
- hypervigilance
Feel connected and supported.
You will feel validated. You will feel seen and heard. Your voice matters.
If you entrust me with your care, I will work with you to create a sense of safety first. I will gauge your comfort level and take the treatment process at your pace.
I have years of experience, training, and supervision in trauma-based therapy. I have always been deeply invested in understanding the link between childhood trauma and present day struggles with emotion regulation. I am particularly interested in helping individuals recover from the effects of childhood emotional abuse and neglect. It is an honor to have sat with so many trauma survivors in their most vulnerable moments and helped them find compassion for themselves and growth after trauma.
Learn to Regulate your nervous system.
Many trauma survivors struggle with intense, up and down emotional experiences; or, some struggle with numbness and disconnection. I can teach you how to come to your center with skills that have been proven to work. With time, you can learn to become friends with your emotional experiences. You can learn to experience them in a healty way.
Find resilience and growth after adversity.
When emotional safety and nervous sytem regulation are established, I may recommend that we proceed with Cognitive-Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment for PTSD. I pursued intensive training with Candace Monson, PhD, one of the original founders of the treatment. CPT is a highly effective treatment where you learn to identify trauma-related beliefs that have kept you stuck in the PTSD symptoms. You will then learn to challenge and modify these beliefs and develop new, more adaptive beliefs. When you change your beliefs, you start to feel better. You will learn to experience the sadness, anger, and grief associated with the trauma, which will allow you to get “unstuck” and move forward.
I am continuing to pursue continuing education in other modalities in order to enhance my own learning and offer my clients a broader range of treatment options at my practice.
If we determine that CPT is not right for you, I can recommend other effective treatments for PTSD that may be a better fit.
