Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

Early experiences influence the way we act and engage in the world. Without time to reflect we can get stuck in habits and patterns that are meant to protect us but prevent us from true connection with others and the present. Together we will identify root causes of the behaviors and repeated actions that no longer serve you. We will practice being vulnerable. Clients who are serious about making changes while maintaining a sense of humor when needed will do well in this practice together.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Hopeless? Scared? Stuck? Do you feel like your world is spinning out of control? Do you wish the chaos would stop? And what would it be like to NOT feel that way? Sometimes past hurts affect present relationships. Sometimes what you know in your head doesn't match what you feel in your heart. Sometimes multiple stressors can overwhelm you. And sometimes we just need a tune-up for our lives.

Living in a world that often tells you you don't have the right to exist as you are can be exhausting. You may feel constantly misunderstood, disregarded, or as though you just can't get ahead no matter how hard you try. You might want healthier relationships with others but have no idea what that means or how to create one. If you feel as though you never got the handbook on "how to human," or have spent your life trying to fit into a predetermined mold that just doesn't fit, I can help.

This can be a scary time that can complicate your relationship with your friends and family. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.

I strive to come from a place of compassion and empathy because, as humans, we all have patterns, messages, and lessons that show up in our lives. The more conscious and mindful we can become of these patterns, the more freedom we can have from them. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand these themes so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want.
