Trauma/PTSD Therapy

Trauma can be experienced in a number of life situations and circumstances. It can range from an extremely difficult and painful life experience to something that is life threatening. Whatever the situation, trauma is distressing and overwhelming. For some people it may lead to symptoms of PTSD, including continuing to remember the experience (in thoughts or nightmares), changes in the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you (e.g., feeling guilty, not feeling safe in the world), feeling more emotional or aroused (e.g., startling easily, difficulty sleeping, struggles with irritability/anger, difficulty concentrating), and trying to avoid reminders of the experience at all costs. Everyone has a different reaction to trauma. However, it often leads people to be living their life in ways that don’t feel healthy or in line with their values. I appreciate you even starting to look for help, especially because trust can often be so difficult after you’ve had these types of life experiences. We will work to build trust and an environment that feels safe for you, and then work together to decide on an evidence-based treatment plan for trauma and PTSD to help you reclaim your life and what’s important to you.
