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.

You're tired. Tired of struggling with the relentless difficulties life sends your way, weighed down by the echoes of past pain and trauma. Tired of feeling like you're drowning in a sea of uncertainty, struggling to keep your head above water. Tired of the endless cycle of relationship struggles, where compassion and understanding break down and intimacy feels like a fairy tale. Part of you knows that you can’t do it alone anymore. It is a difficult, vulnerable, and brave thing to seek support.

My clients are often the ones who have been bounced around, have been given many diagnoses, and have struggled to find help. By the time they reach me, many of my clients have all but given up hope that they can be helped. My clients are struggling with insomnia, PTSD, or dissociative identity disorder, or a combination of these issues. My clients are brave and strong and I am honored to work with them.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Often, my clients find themselves in circumstances or environments in which they do not feel understood or seen. The sometimes think no one will ever really 'get' them. This could be because of a lifestyle, religion, or just generally who they feel they are as a person. Many have been afraid to reach out previously. They hope to someday find that one place or person who won't judge them, but rather sit with them through the muck. You've found it. Welcome home.

Always second guessing your comments and over explaining is exhausting. Not knowing what to expect you walk on eggshells questioning what will happen next? Narcissistic-like behaviors include swinging from being caring and attentive to being irritated, demanding and manipulative. We continue to tell ourselves they will change, as we have invested so much time and energy into the relationship. Now, walking away does not seem like an option or maybe you are "done".

Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps a certain behavior, worry, or the use of a substance has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. I work with adults, teens, and children with a variety of needs to provide a safe and encouraging space to learn and grow.
