Providing Non-Traditional Psychotherapy for Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma.
Hello, and thank you for showing up here. I appreciate your presence and want you to know that you deserve to feel better. If you feel undeserving and struggle with trusting others, frequently overreact and shut down emotionally, or use unhealthy coping mechanisms, then you may be among the millions of adults with unprocessed childhood trauma. Left untreated, unprocessed childhood trauma can negatively affect the present, often wreaking havoc on relationships and one’s quality of life, but it doesn’t need to continue.
As a psychotherapist and fellow childhood trauma survivor, I understand how accepting that the past was as bad as it was can be intimidating. That’s why I use a dignity and competency-based, relational, and experiential framework to help my clients. In our relationship and outside of the office, I value humor, transparency, creativity, and compassion.
Trauma keeps us stuck, and our resulting behaviors can reinforce the shame that we endured as children. Due to unfinished business from the past, it makes sense if you feel like you can't get out of your own way. Therapy can serve as one of the best tools for long-term recovery.
The Relational Recovery Process (RRP) is designed as a group therapy model focused on treating the vast variety of effects of childhood trauma. It is also utilized in individual therapy and couples therapy.
The Anchored Relational Model (ARM) is a therapeutic approach based on trauma neurology and brain development to address and treat complex trauma and dissociative responses. ARM is a parts-work modality.
Somatic Embodiment and Regulation Practices are centered on the body (Soma in Greek means the body) and its role in protection and recovery from challenging life experiences.
Sand tray therapy provides a 3-dimensional context for working with symptoms of traumatic stress. Sand tray therapy is an embodied modality, as it targets dysregulation on all levels: the psychic, developmental, and somatic experience.
Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) is considered to be a gold-standard treatment for PTSD. EMDR involves bi-lateral stimulation to promote the reintegration of traumatic memories and associated stress.
Like sand tray therapy, expressive arts therapy can also be defined by its therapeutic sense of embodiment. Expressive arts encompasses elements such as art-making, creative writing, theater enactments, as well as music and dance.
