Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.
I offer a supportive and nonjudgemental environment for clients to get to know themselves on a deeper level through creative expression. In sessions you will use art and other creative processes to explore new ways of problem solving, building self-esteem, processing trauma or grief, managing stress, or working through feelings of depression. Your immediate needs will determine the work we do and I will partner with you to help get you closer to your wellness goals.

My approach to therapy is relational - I help you to uncover your innate strengths and resources and to become more connected and authentic in your relationship to yourself and others. Most clients I work with have trauma in their childhoods, which includes childhood emotional neglect. I also love working with therapists (and other healers) who are looking for their own personal therapy. Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can feel daunting, and I commend you for your courage.

Together we can achieve what seems impossible.

Trauma can make you want to avoid, or make you numb to the world. It effects relationships, performance at work, and can make us doubt who we are and what our purpose is. Treatment for trauma can look a lot of different ways. Sometimes the focus is on the here and now- learning how to manage symptoms that are tripping you up today. Sometimes the focus is on the beliefs that came out of the trauma, and how your current life is somehow continuing to foster them. Giving you control is the goal.

Does daily life feel harder than it should be? Feelings like anxiety, sadness, emptiness, and pain begin to feel like a part of you and you may start to question if they will always weigh you down. Or maybe you turn to food or social media to help yourself to feel better and you only end up feeling worse? By teaching skills to manage the negative thoughts and guiding you in rediscovering who you are outside of these negative feelings, I can help you refocus on what is important and fulfilling.
