Maybe your world has been shattered by a painful experience.
Perhaps your sense of self has been fragmented and rearranged in a way that is unfamiliar to you.
You want to understand yourself and your story so that you can feel whole again.
Trauma symptoms can include:
Flashbacks or intrusive memories
Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge
Emotional numbness or detachment
Avoidance of places, people, or situations
Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
Irritability, anger, or sudden emotional outbursts
Shame, guilt, or self-blame
Feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy

process events from your past so that they don’t interfere with today
improve sleep, concentration, physical fitness, and overall health

Life doesn’t have to feel this way.
I use several evidence-based methods to work with trauma symptoms, including EMDR, narrative therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy used to process and integrate emotional/traumatic memories.
EMDR re-activates the body and mind’s natural abilities to heal and integrate traumatic or other disturbing experiences. As a natural outcome of the EMDR therapeutic process, clients convey robust feelings of empowerment, serenity, strength, liberation, and courage; all natural indicators of emotional wellbeing and health.
