EMDR Therapists in Casa Grande, AZ
I specialized in trauma therapy because these are the deep wounds we try to ignore and hide from others. I utilize various different methods and really enjoy providing EMDR therapy for trauma. I have witnessed incredible transformations. These wounds may affect the trajectory of a person's life in countless ways. Trauma is subjective to the person, nobody may tell you what you have survived through isn't traumatic, these events may cause emotional, interpersonal and relational challenges and affect your school work, employment and financial freedoms. I want to help you through your journey, to come walk with you through the darkness

With the help of CBT, we can uncover the beliefs that are fueling these patterns, or use EMDR to target specific traumatic events you’ve endured.
You sometimes feel like your life and behavior are out of control. No matter how hard you try, you find yourself repeating the same harmful patterns and having the same arguments with loved ones over and over. You feel insecure in relationships, like your emotions are controlling you instead of you controlling them. You have resorted to unhealthy ways of coping like shutting down or lashing out in arguments, substance use, or self-harm. You carry guilt and shame for your actions because you know you deserve better than what you’re allowing yourself to have. You know there’s more but you’re not quite sure how to get it.

Trauma can make you feel alone and misunderstood. You might feel like there is no one you can talk to because you don't want to cause them pain. You try to smile and carry on but this too has stopped working. Maybe you are angry, maybe you are afraid. I get that. Maybe you just want it all to stop and go back to the way it used to be.

My integrative approach to counseling utilizes techniques from person-centered, DBT, CBT, EMDR, Gottman, and mindfulness.
“The more you understand how worthy you are, the more likely you’ll find your strength again.” - Tabitha Brown. It is essential to understand our own worth and to learn who we are as individuals. Unfortunately through various life events, we may lose sight of who we are or never learn who we are at all. When we don’t have an understanding of our own worth, it is difficult to find our inner strength and to understand what we deserve out of life and relationships. Due to feelings of unworthiness and/or low self-esteem, we may end up making decisions, choosing relationships, and reacting to life in ways that do not serve us well.

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.
