Trauma

Trauma can be most generally defined as an overwhelming event that disrupts one’s sense of safety. This can be a shocking or horrifying event such as an accident, incident of abuse or assault, or a major loss. It can also be something that happens over time but corrodes your sense of wellbeing and security, such as an unhealthy relationship with a parent or significant other, engagement in an unhealthy religious community, or anything that changes the way you view yourself or the world.

I completed a two-year trauma training at Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis, 2022-2024.

I completed a year-long intensive training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, 2018-2019, Child Trauma Training Center and UMass Medical School.
