How I Can Help You

Victims of crime and trauma often suffer from stress-related anxiety and PTSD, which can lead to sleepless nights, social withdrawal, limited relationships, and diminished life satisfaction.

I may be able to help relieve the pain of your unpleasant memories. We will desensitize your memories but not erase them. I can provide you with the tools needed and the opportunity to prevent bad memories from affecting new ones.

Together, we may reduce the chances of past traumas holding you back.

Combined with our therapy sessions, I will provide you with supportive approaches towards a healthier life, including exercise, mindfulness, regular routines for meals and sleep, avoiding the use of alcohol or drugs while setting realistic goals as you are able. Symptoms will improve gradually, not immediately.

Together, we can release the pain and anguish caused by your traumatic experiences while giving you the tools to create new positive memories and a healthy sense of self.

My Approach to Trauma

I will listen with consideration and compassion, helping you gain context, understanding, and not let your traumatic memories affect your future.

I will help you learn to feel okay with your actions in response to your trauma. Together, we can develop coping strategies to get through and learn from your experience. I can help you become prepared and respond to future upsetting events as they occur, despite feeling fear.

My approach helps reprocess and desensitize traumatic memories and challenge negative cognitions associated with them. I include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. Together, we can build a new understanding of your past and provide tools to navigate your future.

By embracing healthier perspectives, you can learn to restructure meaning and remove unfair and misplaced guilt about things that were never your fault.
