Approximately 7 out of every 10 adults in the US experience a trauma in their lifetime. 8 million adults suffer from PTSD at any given time (Singlecare.com). Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted, and every 9 minutes that victim is a child (RAINN.org). 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men have experienced severe intimate partner violence and 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men have experienced rape (ncadv.org).
My goal as a therapist in working with trauma is to first establish a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, heard, and empowered as a survivor. My hope is to be able to work with you to process unresolved trauma and move towards a state of wholeness and restoration through Evidence based practices that include EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and DBT. If you have experienced trauma and you are interested in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing here are some helpful videos:
