Certain events can have deep and long-lasting effect on us, changing the way we see ourselves, relationships, and the world around us. Traumatic events undermine our sense of safety and security, putting us in a stress response mode that may persists long after the events are over. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that occurs when trauma symptoms remain severe or worsen, leading to considerable life disruption and impaired functioning. Nightmares, intrusive thoughts, insomnia, chronic pain, and hypervigilance are all hallmarks of PTSD. Left untreated, these reactions often affect relationships, work, and social interactions.
If you have experienced painful traumatic events, you understand the deep and long-lasting impact of trauma. Finding healing and growth after trauma can be a challenging journey best traveled in a supportive company.
If you are struggling with posttraumatic stress or other effects of trauma, we will work together to explore ways for you to restore and build a sense of safety, security, and trust in yourself and others so you can feel empowered to fully engage in your life.
“Trauma is not what happens to us. But what we hold inside in the
absence of an empathetic witness.”

Our therapists have training and experience in several evidence-based models of psychotherapy for trauma, including:
