I specialize in and have a passion for treating individuals who have experienced trauma. For trauma and PTSD, I use evidence-based treatment modalities such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). These treatments have both been shown, through research evidence, to be “highly efficacious” and “superior” to non-treatment. Both treatments have been shown to decrease overall PTSD symptoms. I can discuss these treatment options with clients in detail and, following an initial session, we can determine which treatment option may be the best fit for the client. (Below you will see two links for these types of therapies -feel free to take a look!) Additionally, based on effectiveness through research evidence, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and deep-breathing training into sessions.
