Have you noticed that you are having flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive or recurring thoughts that you can’t seem to control about an event that happened recently or a long time ago? Do you notice a feeling in the pit of your stomach, anxiety, sadness, anger, or nervousness when you think about this event? Were you often physically/emotionally neglected in childhood, struggled with childhood abuse/abandonment, or have unresolved emotions towards a caregiver or sibling?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you may want to inquire with us about how trauma therapy can benefit your health, well-being, and overall life satisfaction!

This type of therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and the individuals emotional and behavioral responses.

Which Treatment Method is Best?
Similar to Sex Therapy, a full assessment will always be conducted before deciding together, which treatment modality we will use.
I make it a priority to communicate to my clients that this is your journey! That means if you ever feel your treatment is not meeting your expectations or you are not experiencing anticipated results, let me know so we can revamp our plan! Speaking up can be hard sometimes, but it’s necessary! You are worthy of exceptional care!
Psychotherapy
Every individual client does not subscribe to having experienced a traumatic event in their lifetime. Although our practice specializes in trauma therapy, we treat a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, life transitions, and more!
We offer individual therapy sessions, couples therapy sessions, and groups sessions! Our clinicians are not only trauma trained, but specialize in areas such as personality disorders, substance abuse, disabilities, non-western cultural ideals, and LGBTQIA+!
