It wasn’t your fault; yet you have the unfair task of having to deal with the fallout. I want you to know that I honor your story; this includes your wounds as well as your victories. In our sessions, I create a safe space for you to navigate the maelstroms of confusion, hurt, anger, overwhelm and grief. This process happens in your timeframe, at your pace. And along the way we will celebrate each victory you experience.

Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Post traumatic stress disorder can change the trajectory of our entire lives with a single event, or can be the result of chronic, repeated traumatic events. In either case, PTSD can be a very lonely disorder that continues to torment the individual and possibly their loved ones for years after the event has passed. Learning how to process trauma in therapy can sometimes be too overwhelming without medication management. Let's learn if medication can assist in managing some of those secondary effects of PTSD such as anxiety, panic and depression.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Treating trauma and PTSD requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic experiencing, I work with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories in a supportive therapeutic environment. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and experiential techniques, I help clients regain a sense of control over their lives while addressing symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance. My specialized expertise enables me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, fostering healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
