Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Oshkosh, WI

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

Clearing past trauma can allow you to live, love and pursue your goals in the now rather than living in reaction to the past.

In addition, I have a background that I feel allows me to be of special help to veterans, emergency responders, survivors of sexual assault and anyone who struggles with shame or guilt for any reason. EMDR in conjunction with Trauma informed guilt reduction therapy can be very healing. See website: rwesttherapy.com

Treatment is an incredibly personal choice and it is of the utmost importance that you feel understood, validated, and cared for by your psychologist. Although my practice is strongly grounded in science and research, I approach each person as a unique individual. As a Clinical Psychologist and Professor of Psychology, I teach, research, and apply treatments that are based on science and evidence (along with validation, compassion, and respect) to help clients deal with anxiety, depression, impulse control, anger management, suicide, self-harm, emotion and behavioral dysregulation, and personality disorders.

I offer a safe, supportive environment and have found empathy, understanding and humor are important in building a therapeutic alliance. My abilities are well suited to people with a history of trauma and who are intuitive and creative. Whether you're looking for short term therapy or a deeper process, my skill level applies to both. Each person is unique and I anticipate and enjoy building a relationship that assumes collaboration. I then work with them toward activating their own healing potential, no matter the age. I work well with individuals who have had treatment failures in the past.
