Ask your therapist if intensive trauma work would make a difference.
Feeling Stuck? Struggling with turning points of your life? Trauma is pervasive in our society in varying degrees and intensities. If you’ve been working hard to resolve the anxiety that go with early and middle life. Perhaps you should consider Intensive retreat. We work 6 hours person-to-person per day in three or five days to break through the impasse. Trauma (of any intensity) can impair the ability to imagine, particularly to imagine an open future. It can disrupt the ability to form positive meaning. Trauma floods the present and captures the future in terrifying images.

I am passionate about working with anyone who is suffering, especially those who have survived trauma, including interpersonal trauma and cultural trauma that marginalized communities have endured.
Let’s get to the root of your suffering together. Many people seek out therapy because they feel trapped in an endless loop of suffering. This is especially true of trauma survivors. I believe that we can only begin the journey toward wholeness by uncovering the roots of suffering. Then, we can heal by integrating the unconscious aspects of ourselves and our experiences into the conscious fullness of who we are as human beings.

Reaching out can be the most difficult thing to do when dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression or ptsd. Any of these things can make even the simplest things extremely difficult, calling a friend, going outside, self-care, and sometimes just getting out of bed and taking a shower can seem daunting.

I look forward to meeting each client, hearing their story, and guiding them to heal their trauma so they can move forward and embrace life.
I have over 30 years experience counseling children and adolescents. I have always had a passion to help people and my interests and experience as a therapist have led me to working with children and trauma. When a person is very upset, their brain cannot process information as it does ordinarily. Highly emotionally charged experiences become ‘frozen in time’ and are not processed in the usual way. My goal is to help reprocess those events to a resolution that is life-affirming and strength-building.

In order to effectively deal with anxiety, depression, and childhood and/or lifelong trauma, i use a variety of approaches in counseling sessions.
So often we feel we need to face the concerns in our lives alone- possibly from from fear of rejection or somehow believing that we don't deserve to be heard. Our feelings and beliefs about ourselves and others can stunt or harm relationships within ourselves, with others and with God. Sometimes we forget or don't know how or are afraid to move forward in our lives in ways that will bring balance, motivation and empowerment. Exploring your history, not to dwell there, but to understand how it has affected your current life, along with utilizing new and beneficial tools, can lead to a healthier and better flow of living.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
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.
