    Trauma Informed

    What is it?

    Trauma is a person’s emotional response to a distressing experience. Few people can go through life without encountering some kind of trauma. Unlike ordinary hardships, traumatic events tend to be sudden and unpredictable, involve a serious threat to life—like bodily injury or death—and feel beyond a person’s control. Most important, events are traumatic to the degree that they undermine a person's sense of safety in the world and create a sense that catastrophe could strike at any time. Parental loss in childhood, auto accidents, physical violence, sexual assault, military combat experiences, the unexpected loss of a loved one are commonly traumatic events.- Psychology Today

    Trauma Focused

    What is it?

    As its name implies is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that addresses the specific emotional and mental health needs of children, adolescents, adult survivors, and families who are struggling to overcome the destructive effects of early trauma. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is especially sensitive to the unique problems of youth with post-traumatic stress and mood disorders resulting from abuse, violence, or grief. -Psychology Today

    Stepping Stones and Standard Triple P Parenting Programs

     

    I have been involved in the field of counseling for over 35 years. Beginning with lay counseling providing pre-marital couples with therapy prior to their wedding, I then began working with agencies providing therapeutic interventions and support for individuals with diagnoses ranging from depression to dually diagnosed. I also have training and experience in premarital therapy, marriage therapy and biblical counseling.

     

    My journey began working with families in the home setting. I then added treatment for veterans with PTSD. After opening my private practice, I narrowed my focus to CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), Autism and ADHD.

         

    I have worked in community healthcare settings as well as schools and private practice. I am passionate about helping people discover the issues that are making life difficult for them to navigate and then making a plan together to learn how to live life, not just survive it.
