What Is Trauma?
Sometimes things happen in our life that are so scary we can't move on. Maybe it was abuse, an assault, an accident. Sometimes this trauma even leads to something called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) where we become jumpy, avoid things and literally can't stop memories of our trauma from coming into our heads. When we hear PTSD a lot of us think of a solider returning from war; while combat can cause PTSD, we also know that over 50% of survivors of sexual assault will develop PTSD as will a high rate of survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence. I have over 7 years of experience working with trauma, particularly with survivors of childhood abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. I believe that the most important part of healing is having a safe, non-judgmental and empowering space to process through and find meaning. I have been honored to walk besides many people on this journey. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I'm a good fit to walk with you.

EMDR
One powerful tool we have to address trauma in therapy is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). If all our memories are a filing cabinet, trauma memories are those that have been placed in the wrong folder, shoved into a different drawer or left out of the cabinet altogether. EMDR helps to re-organize the filing cabinet so we can get what we need. Many clients I have worked with describe EMDR as taking those memories they always thought would haunt them and turn them into just memories. Please call me at (970) 315-7686 for a 15 minute consultation to see if EMDR is right for you.
