You need to work on your trauma but the idea feels daunting. Trauma work can take months or even years, but it doesn't have to. I offer EMDR Intensives, an accelerated form of therapy, to help you feel better faster. EMDR Intensives are usually provided in day-long sessions (6 hours per day) over consecutive days. Instead of doing therapy once a week over a long period, intensives allow you to work through trauma over a few days. For some people, an EMDR Intensive can replace months of weekly therapy; for others, it can jump-start the healing process. You don’t have to wait - you can start feeling better right away!

We all have times where we need someone to listen. Sometimes, we don't even know why we feel unsettled. We are not broken or need to be fixed. We have the capacity to heal inside of ourselves. My job is to assist clients to find that voice inside, that "self" leadership that is our best guidance to our authentic self. I believe therapy is a parallel process where I walk next to you and I hold the space for your healing. Our work together is an opportunity for you to find your true north. Our work together will be what you want to accomplish and a deep discussion about your needs, issues and desires.

Why do we sometimes dwell on the worst times of our lives or spend our time and energy reliving things we wish we could change? Events, decisions, relationships, feelings etc can all end up 'stuck' and continue to negatively impact us in a variety of ways. The umbrella term 'traumatic stress' encompasses both PTSD and it's symptoms when full criteria is not met. When experiences from the past continue to impact your present, whether it be flashbacks or the way you view your place in the world, it can be very difficult to change.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. If you're in a cycle of depression, stress, or anxiety, it's time to prioritize and care for yourself. When suffering goes unchecked it has a way of affecting your personality, your performance, and your relationships. You lose perspective, patience, and the ability to cope effectively. In time, negative thinking becomes a way of life.
