You need help — and a lot of it — right now, and 45-minutes of therapy once a week doesn’t feel intensive enough. Feeling stuck in past trauma and sick of it running your life, maybe you’re crunched on time, too, with a busy schedule and thousands of demands pulling you every which way. Or you’re already working with a therapist weekly, and want to use EMDR as a brief adjunct to accelerate that work. Let’s embark on a focused journey designed to help you feel better, fast.

You may have heard "the only person who can make you happy is you," but it's also true that you do not exist alone in this world. I strongly believe every person deserves to feel seen and heard and that this is essential for health. At the same time, understanding how you arrive at a feeling by tracking your inner thoughts and exploring past experiences will help you feel more in control. Instead of blaming others for your feelings or waiting for someone to rescue you from them, I want to empower you to be your own best emotional guide and healer. I offer a listening ear and safe space for exploration.

Like many other parents, I’m sure you are prepared for a lot of things when it comes to your child. Scraped knees, fevers, colds, maybe even a broken bone. All things that are stressful, but also things that you know how to handle. But now you’re faced with something that’s different. Something that feels scarier, more unfamiliar. Your child is struggling, they’re in pain. However, this pain is an emotional one and can’t be fixed by a band aid or a quick trip to the doctor. No one talked to you about this and now you don’t know what to do.
