I use ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and other experiential techniques to effectively treat trauma symptoms. ART addresses trauma by bypassing a need for extensive verbal retelling. This is especially helpful if you struggle to express yourself verbally or find talking about the trauma overwhelming. This evidence-based approach, similar to EMDR, uses a clear process of eye movements to reduce or eliminate the “fight or flight” response to a traumatic memory. This allows silencing of the negative feelings and body sensations created by the negative event and creation of a new, healthier perspective.

First Responders

You deserve the right support. Active duty, reservists, veterans, and first responders have work demanding immense strength and dependability. Work pressures, witnessed traumas, and the need to manage burdens most civilians will never see and can't comprehend are common. You may have had exposure to violence, death, severe injury, and moral injury such as being faced with difficult decisions with life-or-death consequences. You may have "burned in images," guilt, shame, and even ambivalence of wanting to live. Anxiety, depression, anger, sleep problems, and relationship conflict are often expected responses to extraordinary experiences. If these apply to you, you may require a therapist who understands you and your experiences. You may be best served by a professional who gets the impact on you and your family and who's familiar with the guilt, isolation, and internal battles you fight.
