What is trauma?
Dealing with the consequences of a traumatic experience can be challenging, whether the situation was something big like war, a natural disaster, an accident, death or rape/assault, or something complicated that unfolded over time such as abandonment, abuse, family dysfunction, or intense stress. The complicated forms of trauma can be more difficult to identify, because they’re not as obvious and we often acclimate to them. But both kinds of traumas can have similar effects. Each person reacts to traumatic events in her/his own unique way.
PTSD is a common reason that people seek therapy, and treatment has been proven to help.

What is PTSD treatment?
During therapy, I will provide a safe and accepting environment. In addition to providing a supportive space, we will utilize talk therapy, hypnotherapy and EMDR to ease/manage your PTSD symptoms. I will also help you learn and use new coping skills and mindfulness techniques. By acquiring these positive skills, you can learn to respond to stress and triggers in a more healthy way. Over time, you will find that your PTSD symptoms improve and you are able to relax in previously tense situations.
