Dr. Sullivan specializes in the treatment of trauma and trauma-related difficulties, such as childhood trauma, violent relationships, motor-vehicle and other accidents, depression, anxiety, and sleep. She works with people healing from personal physical and sexual abuse, as well as veterans recovering from military-related trauma.
