PTSD is a complex condition, and therapy can take time, so patience and commitment are crucial for recovery. I have been trained in DBT, EMDR, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy which are all trauma-focused therapy treatments recommended for treatment of PTSD.

It's essential for individuals to find a therapist who is a good fit for their specific needs and who respects their identity. I look to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns related to their sexual orientation, gender identity, societal discrimination, and relationship difficulties. I am trained in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy and a member of the LGBTQ Guild of Utah.

Anxiety disorders are common mental health conditions that can significantly impact a person's daily life. Therapy for anxiety often requires time and commitment, but it can lead to significant improvements in managing and reducing anxiety symptoms. I have been trained in DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy which are common therapy treatments for anxiety.

EMDR is a psychotherapy approach developed to help individuals overcome the distress associated with traumatic experiences. EMDR is primarily used to treat PTSD, but it has also been found effective for various other conditions and issues, including anxiety disorders, depression, and phobias. This therapy aims to help individuals process these memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing them to integrate the traumatic experience into their overall life narrative.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was developed by Dr. Marsha M. Linehan. DBT is specifically designed to help individuals who have difficulty regulating their emotions and may engage in self-destructive behaviors or have ongoing problems with interpersonal relationships. It was initially created to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder but has since been adapted and proven effective for various other mental health conditions.

Psychodynamic therapy is a type of talk therapy that is based on the principles of psychoanalysis. It is one of the oldest approaches to psychological therapy and is rooted in the belief that unconscious thoughts, feelings, and past experiences influence our current behavior and emotional well-being.
