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.

Taking the first step towards your journey of healing can be a difficult decision to make. Opening the path to what has brought us deep suffering can be scary and at the same time, exactly what we need in order to begin to build a life grounded on what is important to us. It is easy to lose sight of of these things when we spend our time trying our hardest to get rid of or avoid our pain. My hope is that I am able to guide you on this journey to find a clearer path.

In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

A traumatic childhood can shape the story you have about yourself and your ability to achieve healthy connections. Unhealthy/Unwanted romantic or sexual relationships can effect how you view love and what you deserve. I work primarily with clients suffering from family trauma (physical/emotional/sexual abuse, domestic violence, attachment, neglect, incest) to re-author their story.

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.

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.
