Post traumatic stress, acute stress, are reactions to exposure to trauma. Trauma is a broad term but at the core it is a result of feeling threatened, unsafe, and/or a deep moral injury. People tend to develop PTSD when they attempt to repress the trauma instead of processing it. This often leads to re-experiencing the trauma when exposed to a trigger, which can be accompanied by nightmares, feelings of panic, terror, dissociation.

Pain and illness are often life altering and can cause many other mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many people who find out they have a terminal or chronic illness struggle to find a way forward. Together we can explore ways to adjust and cope by using targeted treatment modalities such as CBT and ACT. Often, alleviating the emotional stress that comes with these conditions can even lead to a reduction in physical pain.

Aging can feel lonely. Often as we move towards the end of our lives, the people we love the most feel distant. Your children are often grown and raising children of their own. Your parents, friends, and siblings may have passed on, and you're left wondering what your legacy will be and what will happen to your family when you're gone. Let's explore the narrative you have surrounding your life and look for ways to strengthen your relationships and add fulfillment to your life.

DBT is useful in increasing coping skills for those living with personality disorders, struggling with eating disorders, self harm and other issues of emotional disregulation. I am certified in DBT and find this modality very effective.

CBT is considered the gold standard of treatment modalities. Over the course of the last 20 years, multiple sub modalities have been developed and tailored to different needs, but at it's core, CBT helps us to understand that at times we cannot change our situation but we can change our thoughts about it and how we cope with it. I incorporate CBT techniques into treatment and build from there.

ACT is emerging as a model that is effective in treating depression, grief, anxiety disorders, and many other conditions. Many negative emotions stem from one's inability to accept their experiences and face them. ACT helps to overcome the distress that comes from fighting ourselves. ACT can help you be present and embrace yourself and your experiences, giving you room to work on realistic change. I recently completed an in depth training on this model and look forward to offering it to clients.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) is a therapeutic approach that incorporates mindfulness practices into the treatment of various mental health concerns. The core idea behind MBT is to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment without judgment. This enhanced awareness can help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional difficulties more effectively.
