Trauma and PTSD

Trauma and PTSD are held in our bodies. Memories, feelings, smells, sounds, sites, situations, and events can act as stimuli being triggered into intense emotional or physical reactions, such as panic attacks. Therapeutic interventions help our brains to learn new ways to reorganize synaptic connections resulting in lessening or release of symptoms and triggers from the trauma(s). EMDR and other evidence-based modalities integrative therapies are used. After successful EMDR therapy, emotional distress is relieved, negative beliefs and limitations are reformulated into positive beliefs and strengths, and physiological arousal is reduced. EMDR therapy is offered online with eye movement, audio or physical bilateral stimulation based upon the client's preference.

Trauma and PTSD
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCDC, EMDR
Instead of following the 'positive vibes only' approach, I understand that trauma has a profound impact on the brain, which is why traditional talk therapy may not work for everyone. I provide alternative therapies for those seeking a more holistic and diverse approach to counseling, including DBT, EMDR, ecotherapy, Eastern philosophy, and logotherapy (finding meaning in suffering).
Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese art, repairs broken pottery with gold, turning the cracks into a beautiful part of the object's history rather than something to conceal. I use this concept in my trauma work, helping you view suffering as a meaningful part of your life story, with painful memories becoming the golden threads in the mosaic of your life.
