Among other techniques, I often use clinical hypnosis (it's nothing like what you see on TV!) for relief of many symptoms, and EMDR (a well researched therapy method proven to be one of the most effective for trauma) for survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other stressful events.
Are you unable to enjoy life because of constant worry, racing thoughts, or waiting for the next bad thing to happen? Can you not move forward with the life you really want because you feel held hostage by past traumatic experiences? Are you mourning the loss of someone and feel buried in grief? Anxiety, trauma, and grief all have a way of making you feel stuck and burdened with stress, but becoming "unstuck" is possible. I help adults of all ages feel better about themselves and find the "you" you want to be.

Change can be difficult. Especially when you have experienced mental or emotional suffering for months or years. Believing that things can change can be even more difficult, however, change is possible. With counseling, faith, and using your own personal strengths, all things are possible, even experiencing peace. Sometimes experiencing peace may mean that the situation has not gone away or even changed much but the way you think, react, cope, or respond to the situation no longer brings you turmoil. Change can begin in you and with you when you allow us to work together to bring a healing process to your life right now.

EMDR Therapists

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
