I am specially trained in EMDR and the Comprehensive Resource Model. Both of these treatments have been found to be effective in the treatment of trauma and PTSD. Are you tired of intrusive thoughts? Feeling hypervigilant? Always on edge? Let's work through it together.
My clinical experience with trauma includes a specialization in graduate school of Psychological Trauma Studies and a completion of training of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Being trauma-informed has significantly informed how I practice therapy. Together we can practice coping skills, help with nervous system regulation, distress tolerance, improve your relationship with others and yourself.
I have specialized training and experiencing in treating trauma and complex trauma as well as Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD. My main treatment modality for these issues is EMDR.
I am committed to creating a therapeutic connection that can give you the tools to help you see yourself through a lens of self-compassion and strength. Together, we will release limitations from your past, stretch your tolerance for what arises in the present, and foster hope for the future.
The body is wise and holds so much of our trauma until we are ready to feel safe and ready enough to explore it. Often we hold pain and overwhelm in our bodies from childhood. We need to slowly explore our pain through the body and emotional experience, allowing whatever energy is ready to move, move. Inner child work is particularly powerful here.
Something bad happens, nothing good follows, and everyone pretends it's okay. This simple series of events can lead to lasting emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms make us feel crazy. Let me assure you, you are not crazy and you are not alone. I am trained in a trauma treatment technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), that can allow for integration of traumatic memories into one's healthy and coherent narrative. I would be honored to provide you a safe space to work through the painful experiences that just won't seem to go away.
Skilled in trauma-informed care, offering support and evidence-based treatments to help individuals recover from traumatic experiences and manage PTSD symptoms.
Traumatic experiences can leave us paralyzed and pessimistic about our future. It doesn't have to be that way. I have training in using EMDR, an evidenced-based approach to treating trauma and PTSD. This approach helps the mind and body process what has happened while decreasing the risk of re-traumatizating the individual. In this manner, the individual is able to access internal and external supports and resources for the mind and body that may not have been available during the traumatic event or events.
I have recovered my own trauma prior to becoming a trauma specialist. I suffered from PTSD my entire life without knowing what was wrong with me, but I don’t live with PTSD anymore. I am no longer traumatized and I can help you get there as well.
All the clinicians in the practice have had significant experience in working with trauma and PTSD and are skilled in helping clients work through trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, adult sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and other life trauma. We also conduct forensic evaluations in civil litigation matters relating to trauma and abuse.
Trauma therapy is essential for individuals who have experienced traumatic events or neglect in their childhood. The goal of therapy is to process your trauma, manage symptoms, and improve your overall well-being.
Trauma can consume our lives, making even everyday tasks much more challenging. You don’t have to continue to suffer with sleepless nights, anxiety, intrusive thoughts and fear, and much more. I have received extensive trauma training that allows me to work from a trauma informed place, ideally reducing your unhelpful automatic responses, incorporating the role your nervous system plays in these responses and allowing for you to tolerate processing the trauma. I am also trained in EMDR, a therapeutic modality create specifically for trauma which might be ideal for you. Contact me today for a free consultation to see how I might be able to help.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified in Holistic Integrative Health
At Corazón y Aire, I specialize in trauma and PTSD and hold space through a decolonized lens, recognizing the significant impact of personal and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I understand that trauma is not only an individual experience but also a collective one, often rooted in historical injustices, cultural dislocation, and systemic oppression. My approach emphasizes the importance of honoring cultural narratives and resilience while addressing the complexities of intergenerational trauma. I explore how past experiences—both personal and ancestral—shape current mental health and well-being.
