TRAUMA

Here For You

Going through any form of trauma can be difficult and life altering. Often the effects of trauma don't show up immediately.  Sometimes, months, years, or even decades later. These effects can bring about feelings of sadness, anger, helplessness, guilt, shame, and fear. It's not abnormal to experience a mix of all of these emotions. You may even experience physiological effects, such as, feeling on edge, having nightmares, having vivid memories.  As a result, you may attempt to avoid all of these experiences all together and begin to feel "numb," detached, and lonely. These experiences can lead to us feeling depleted.  

However, there can be a brighter side to look forward to.

​​

Fortunately, decades of research have gone into creating evidenced based treatments for trauma related disorders, depending on the readiness of the patient.  Research shows us that these interventions have demonstrated significant reductions in trauma specific symptoms to the point where patients can live their life more meaningfully and purposefully.

We will discuss the symptoms of your traumatic experience to help you understand what to expect and potential treatment options available. The evidenced based interventions I offer are: Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
