Healing from Trauma:
You’re Not Alone
At Best Self Virtual Therapy, I understand the weight of trauma and PTSD. I’m here to listen, support, and guide your healing journey. Together, we’ll work to heal painful memories, build your inner strength, and help you reclaim control over your life.
Understanding Trauma & PTSD
Trauma can come from many different experiences—such as accidents, challenging childhoods, emotionally abusive and toxic relationships or other impactful events. The impact of trauma can affect every part of your life, sometimes leading to PTSD—a condition marked by persistent, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness. Feeling stuck or unable to move past these memories is common, but healing is possible with the right support. With the proper guidance, you can learn new ways to cope, heal, and move forward.
Trauma and Stressor-related disorders I treat include PTSD, Acute Stress Disorder, Adjustmemt Disorder, and Prolonged Grief Disorder

- Compassionate Support: Healing from trauma is a journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you, providing the support you need to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach to therapy combines mindfulness-based principles to help clients increase self-compassion, learn coping skills for resolving OCD, anxiety, and panic and heal from any painful or traumatic experiences. The therapies I am trained in have all been shown through research to be maximally impactful:
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with other best practices in mental health to help you learn self-compassion and resolve inner criticism
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you 1) increase psychological health by learning mindfulness and acceptance skills 2) better understand your relationship with thoughts and feelings and 3) adjust your behaviors to match your values.
- Exposure Response Prevention therapy (ERP) helps you learn about your fears, any phobias, worries, triggers, and compulsive behavior patterns to gain freedom from disorders like OCD, anxiety, panic attacks and avoidance of phobias like flying, animals, or other things.
