Understanding Trauma
What trauma can look like.
Many of our obstacles, past experiences, dysfunctions, and worries rob us from fully living and enjoying our lives.
The way we view them might keep us stuck and unfulfilled. I can help you resolve those external and/or internal factors, identify patterns of thought and behavior - help you neutralize them, and encourage positive change and growth.
Acute trauma
Acute trauma results from a single incident.
Chronic trauma
Chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged, such as domestic violence or abuse.
Complex trauma
Complex trauma is exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature.
How I Work
How I treat trauma.
EMDR and IFS
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help with traumatic memories.
Mindfulness and self-hypnosis
I use Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis to work with negative subconscious processes.
Somatic techniques
I also employ somatic techniques to help integrate the body and teach self-regulation as I treat mental health conditions.
Calming the nervous system
I help clients, at their pace, overcome trauma, depression and anxiety by developing a plan geared toward calming the nervous system, addressing distorted beliefs about yourself, the world, and others.
