Exposure to traumatic events, whether within our own homes, or in the world at large, can send us into a crisis, challenging our ability to maintain our everyday level of functioning. Timely intervention with a professional can reduce some of the common symptoms in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Crisis intervention can help to:

• Alleviate anxieties and fears related to the incident
• Access your pre-existing coping skills and strengths
• Develop new coping strategies
• Reduce feelings of isolation and improve your support system
• Manage irritability and mood swings
• Cope with feelings of helplessness
• Restore a sense of hope

I provide the following services…

Individual or couples therapy can alleviate the stress that a traumatic event can bring into a relationship and provide needed support through the crisis and aftermath.
Support groups provide a safe, nurturing place to share anxieties, fears, and triumphs as participants move through the crisis.
Trauma education eases anxiety around symptoms and responses to trauma and the recovery process.
Relaxation training can help to reduce the physical and emotional effects of stress.
