Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was created as a means to reduce suffering and increase a person's psychological flexibility to manage stress/symptoms. ACT does this by defining actions that move you towards your values, creating space between stressors and symptoms so that you are able to respond versus react, increasing one's willingness to face challenges, fostering a mind-body connecting, and increasing a person's self-identity. I have received training and supervision on ACT.

Trauma Therapies differ from general therapies. No one person's trauma is the same and interventions are tailored to a person's specific situation/needs. I am trained in trauma-informed care service deliver as well as, Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR.

CBT is a form of therapy that focuses both on a person's cognitions and, simultaneously, one's behavior. The primary view of CBT is teaching the links between how one situation can influence both thoughts and mood. All three of these variables are targets of CBT interventions. Primary interventions of CBT include: cognitive restructuring, socratic questioning, behavioral experiments, thought questioning, and seeking evidence to both support and not support a thought. I am fully trained in CBT.

That one event/events hang over you like a dark gloom. Like a shadow the shame, guilt, and doubt follow you. Inescapable. You can both feel and recognize the changes in your life while others wait for you to 'get back on your feet.' Little do they know the daily battle that rages within. PTSD can resolve. You can both heal and grow. Let's utilize evidenced based interventions to support your healing process.

TBIs don't discriminate. TBIs can change your identity to a point where you are barely recognizable from those you love. TBIs can create guilt and shame due to the challenges experienced in your life. Anger, irritability, sleep, and fatigue impact all areas of your life. Some facets of the TBI can be healed. For the parts that can't be healed, compensation strategies can be learned and implemented.

Your mood fluctuates at the worst of times. If we are being honest, it is a miracle you made it this far. Now your grip is starting to slip. If people knew the emotions bubbling beneath your skin they wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot pole. There are methods to regulate your mood. By establishing the connection between your mind and body you can begin to heal yourself and the relationships in your life.

EMDR therapy works to process out blocks in your nervous system that became frozen during 'traumatic' experiences. This allows your body to heal and you to flourish with self-confidence as you take on the world. EMDR therapy works to address past, present, and future challenges you want to focus on in therapy.
