HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M IN NEED OF TRAUMA THERAPY?
 
 
"Big T" Trauma (exposed to: death, threatened death, actual or threatened serious injury, or actual or threatened sexual violence, in the following way(s): Direct exposure. Witnessing the trauma. Learning that a relative or close friend was exposed to a trauma.)

"Little t" Trauma (extreme stressors such as divorce, financial strain, illness, relationships, parenting, job loss, etc) 
 
Your body will often experience change in sleep or appetite, intrusive thoughts or flashbacks, negative coping skills, triggers, easily startled, your body is constantly in a fight or flight mode, and many more symptoms! 
 
 
 
HERE'S HOW I WILL HELP YOU
 
I work with you to treat the threat response that your body still holds. I use a combination of EMDR (an intense trauma therapy) and Thought Field Therapy to reduce PTSD and trauma like symptoms that are stored in your regulatory nervous system. Your brain WANTS to heal itself and with my help, your life could be changed forever!

During this time, she gained knowledge and expertise in diagnosing and assessing issues related to anxiety, adjustment disorder, impulsivity, depression, self-harm and other high-risk behaviors.
