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.

It is one of the greatest gifts of my life to be able to serve as a guide to others while they navigate the painful and expansive process of knowing themselves more fully. My experience is focused on teens and adults, ages 13 and up. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I also have training and experience working with the LGBTQ+ population. I offer licensure supervision to fellow therapists pursuing their LCSW.

I am passionate about helping parents find their joy again. As a mother myself, I will walk with you as you face the unexpected challenges & emotions that occur while trying to conceive & during pregnancy & postpartum. I have worked for a Fortune 100 insurance company in leadership roles so I understand all to well the pressure all parents (new & seasoned) experience to optimize both areas of life -- work & family. I have worked with many families just like you to help find that optimal balance.
