EMDR Therapists in Ventura, CA
I believe in the connection between the body, mind, spirit and emotions, Using traditional talk therapy (CBT) and somatic tools like EMDR and mindfulness, I can help you to release the past, reclaim your natural resilience, joy, vitality and confidence, and potentially improve your physical health.
Trauma, stress, and other painful experiences can cause us to develop negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and the world, keeping us stuck, and preventing us from moving forward. You may feel overwhelmed, powerless, hopeless, depressed or anxious or experience panic attacks. You tell yourself to "get over it," blame ourselves when we can't, and are often ashamed to let anyone know that we are struggling. You do not have to keep repeating the same patterns; life does not have to be all about pain and suffering. You can heal from your trauma, moving beyond those old behaviors to live happy, satisfying, fulfilling lives.

Do you want to reconnect with your partner or do you have issues with self esteem? I love working with couples or adult individuals.

I'm trained in somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT and (hands-off) Reiki to help increase awareness of your internal landscape and reduce overwhelming thoughts, sensations and emotions.
It is so exhausting living inside a traumatized body and mind. Anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere; thoughts, feelings, and the overwhelm of re-experiencing events. Feelings of unsafety or a constant need to be hyperaware. Insomnia, changes in appetite make matters worse because the body and mind don't get the needed fuel and rest leading to cycles of collapse. The anxiety and collapse cycle can cause us to feel disconnected from ourselves, loved ones and the world. We can lose trust in our own judgment and ability to heal. My approach is informed by a holistic integration of practices to help reconnect mind, body and soul.

I am also currently finishing my EMDR basic training and will be able to provide EMDR services come November.
I understand how hard it can be to even begin to reach out to a friend, family member, or a professional and acknowledge that now is the time to ask for help as I have been on the other side myself. I hope to hold an encouraging and safe environment for all peoples, and walk side-by-side processing life experiences.

Accepting New Clients! Regardless of you who you are, the color of your skin, your level of education or age, everyone goes through different trials and tribulations. Sometimes we walk away from these events stronger and other times we need help to come through the other side. These traumatic events can be big or small, but the resulting symptoms (depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-injury, lack of motivation or lack of hope) can impact every part of your life. The goal is to transition you from a place of discontent to a place of healing.
