About

You haven't been the same since... it's changed the way you think about yourself, the world, and how you fit into that world. You've tried to stay busy or isolate and maybe even self-medicated to forget, but there are always reminders. Could be people, places, things, sights, sounds, or smells. Could be more subtle emotional reminders, such as feeling unsafe, mistrustful, or out of control. When things don't happen as you expect or people don't behave how you think they should, the anger or anxiety spikes. Although you may have thought "time heals all wounds," it has not gotten easier. You just keep getting more down on yourself. Trained and experienced in multiple trauma treatment options, together we will explore 3 factors to identify the best treatment fit. 1. The root: the trauma itself. 2. The branches: The impact it's having on your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors 3. The fruit: Your prioritized goals for treatment based on your strengths, values, and preferences.
