Trauma/PTSD Therapy

To those of you who suffer from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, or the memories that still haunt you, I deeply empathize. I have personally experienced childhood trauma, and understand the challenges of ‘surviving and thriving’ from abuse. The pain, fear, and hopelessness seem insurmountable. I am here to tell you that you can feel safe, trust again, have peace and joy in your life as I now do. Let me help you find a successful solution to your situation, and to disarm the memories that remain.

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® (SE) is a short-term approach to the resolution and healing from trauma developed by Peter Levine, PhD. SE works with the awareness of body sensation to help the client heal from trauma experiences; not relive them. This process has the client gently experience feelings stored in the body to safely and incrementally discharge the built up and frozen energy of the shock or trauma state. I will use this method, as well as others, to assist you in resolving your trauma/PTSD.

For a more detailed discussion of trauma, see Peter Levine's book Waking The Tiger (available in bookstores or his website). For more information on Somatic Experiencing (including articles written by Peter Levine) you can click on www.traumahealing.com.
