It is roughly 12 sessions long; though can be adjusted to more or less. Together, we'll identify unhelpful beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, learn practical skills to challenge those thoughts, and develop healthier, more balanced perspectives. Throughout the process, you'll receive compassionate support while building the confidence and tools needed to move forward. The goal isn't to erase what happened—it's to help you reduce the impact of trauma so you can live with greater peace, resilience, and hope.

Individuals that have experienced:

• Childhood trauma

• Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse

• Sexual assault

• Military or first responder trauma

• Medical trauma

• Serious accidents

• Grief and traumatic loss

• Other overwhelming or life-changing experiences

• CPT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. After a traumatic experience, it's common to develop beliefs such as "I'm not safe,""It was my fault," or "I can't trust anyone." These beliefs can keep you feeling stuck long after the trauma has ended.

• Rather than focusing primarily on changing thoughts, EMDR is used to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming. During treatment, you'll briefly focus on a traumatic memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or alternating sounds.

• CPT is less about replaying the traumatic event in detail and more focusing on the uncomfortable or unwanted thoughts and behaviors that the trauma has caused for you

That is totally fine! I am here to aid in the way that you would like. Therapy should be person-centered, warm, and geared towards your own goals!
