my specialties
trauma and ptsd recovery
Most of us associate Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with veterans or first responders who have been in combat or experienced violence. However, PTSD is not limited to military or law enforcement. It’s common to experience PTSD after sexual or physical abuse, divorce, sudden death, or even bullying. Symptoms are wide ranging and can include anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, or tension.
anxiety
Most of us have dealt with situational nervousness and stress at some point in our lives. Anxiety is different though – it can feel absolutely debilitating, from intrusive thoughts of worry or dread, restlessness or insomnia, panic attacks, and tension. Therapy can give us tools to help calm the nervous system and mind.
emdr
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a cutting edge tool used to heal from past traumas or disturbing experiences. It is helpful to facilitate PTSD recovery. It’s powerful stuff.
depression
If you are finding yourself feeling fatigued and exhausted, sad and withdrawn, or avoiding social activities and obligations, you may be struggling with depression. It helps to talk to someone to get to the root of the problem so that you can learn ways to manage the symptoms and prevent them from reoccurring.
relationship issues
Relationships can be hard. There, I said it. Maybe you’re finding yourself arguing with your partner more than you’d like, or maybe you’re feeling disconnected and you don’t know why. Oftentimes, we don’t have the proper tools we need to maintain a healthy and thriving relationship after they honeymoon phase wears off. Therapy can help you uncover relational patterns that may be wrecking havoc so that you can learn how to be a healthier individual and partner.
young adults navigating transition
Everybody warns you that the season after college when you’re navigating your first career is challenging, but the warning doesn’t prepare us for how difficult it can feel. Anxiety, grief, identity questions…it’s all par for the course. It can help to talk to someone and gain tangible tools to help you navigate the terrain with more ease.
