Something major happens and the trauma and hurts from the past come flooding back into your life.
Have you experienced trauma? Are you stressed, overwhelmed, anxious? Are you a mom who's struggling with life's responsibilities and has lost herself? Let's tackle that through EMDR and Mindfulness. Looking at you holistically, including sabotaging parts, negative self-talk, coping skills, and overall functioning, I work to help you get to your best self.
We work intensively to help you navigate the storm of trauma. Instead of working for years on your trauma, we can transform your life in weeks. Intensives are completed in 4-8 hour blocks (typically Fridays), which allow you to process large chunks of traumatic events in a condensed time frame. You can let go and live the life you've always wanted to live.

Yoga increases the mind body connection and can be helpful in reducing mental health symptoms, and relaxing the nervous system. In yoga we learn to regulate our breath and manage our reactions. This yoga class will focus on breathing techniques, balance, and flexibility.

Video: http://vimeo.com/38248612. My therapy group provides an opportunity to get sensitive but direct feedback. There are very few other settings where you can get that kind of help. Group members support one another by striving for openness and honesty. By talking about both situations in peoples' lives, as well as examining interactions in the group, members are able to make changes and try them out in the safety of the group. By doing so, people can stop repeating the same patterns in their relationships. The group is most beneficial for working on romantic, family, or friend relationships.

Trauma and PTSD Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
