Have you ever felt stuck in certain areas of your life and can tell it needs attention or relief? Sometimes, that mere curiosity is all we need to take steps toward a life filled with contentment, satisfaction, and emotional tolerance. I specialize working with adults who have experienced trauma in the past that is causing issues in relationships, work, performance, or overall important areas of life. Past trauma has a way of taking up space in our mind or body, and if left unresolved, will show up as anxiety, depression, withdrawal, and dissatisfaction. I am EMDR trained and use this as my main therapeutic modality.

I'm currently trained in level 2 EMDR, cognitive therapy, certified in DBT, motivational interviewing, and substance abuse prevention treatment programs including Wellbriety.
I want to make sure that the client and I are a fit when it comes to rapport. That looks like feeling comfortable sharing content that might cause uncomfortableness due to fearing judgment. If established in the first meeting, I feel confident in working with those with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, family conflicts, grief, and performance issues in school, sports, or career (to name a few). I believe the treatment models that I use can build their resilience to deal with past, current, and future challenges.

You find yourself trapped in a maze of relentless thoughts, where every turn leads to the same dead end. "Why can't I just get out of my own head?" you wonder. Conversations with your partner feel like navigating a minefield, and those past traumas? They've set up camp in your mind and body. Despite trying talk therapy, you still feel stuck, anxious, and sometimes, hopeless. The shadows of depression and anxiety loom large. You may be yearning for genuine change and a way to break free from these burdens, but are unsure of the next step.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, I can help you resolve internal blocks, overcome stress or trauma, and optimize performance.
There's a difference between talk therapy and how I can help you. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, too reactive toward others, struggling to perform at your best, or having sleep issues - these are common signs of someone with unresolved stress or trauma. Fortunately I have tools to help you truly change, achieving the life you know you’re capable of.

Life is very challenging! As you navigate this stressful world you may sometimes feel that your moods and behaviors are out of your control. While we were taught many subjects in school, we never had a class to learn effective strategies on how to manage our thoughts, feelings and actions. You're finding that your efforts to feel better on your own haven't been working for you. Some of the things that you’ve tried may have even made everything worse. Perhaps you feel bad that you can’t seem to get unstuck on your own. However, it’s not your fault, because you were never taught the skills you really needed!

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.
