If you are struggling with OCD, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I might be the right therapist for you! My style in the therapy room is to go further than “just talking” and provide ERP, EMDR, and ACT therapy and tools to support you outside of the therapy room.
Welcome-I'm so glad you're here! I work with individuals struggling with OCD, anxiety, life transitions, and past trauma. Maybe you have found yourself on my page because you recognize that something is not working in your life and you are wanting to make changes. You deserve the space to heal and understand patterns in your life that might be causing stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression or strains in relationships. Life is not meant to just be survived, it is to be experienced to the fullest potential and we can discover that in the therapy room!

There is so much hope for you to emerge from the cage that is trauma. My passion lies in supporting adults and couples in getting unstuck from childhood trauma. Maybe you suspect that trauma is at the root of your stuckness, listen to the podcasts, understand the difficulty in your family growing up, but still feel like a shell of a human and like you just keep surviving. Maybe you feel like work is the only good part of life. Or maybe you are discouraged after years in EMDR therapy/ therapy, but feeling like life is still getting further away from the adventurous, creative, spiritual, full life you long for. There is so much hope.

In addition to the sacred container we create together, I also offer therapeutic value through mindfulness, CBT, self compassion work, an attachment lens, as well as EMDR, and "parts" work to gain a better understanding around behaviors or addictive processes that are in the way of being fully you!.
Perhaps, you grew up in a family or culture where your thoughts, emotions, or body were rejected. To be accepted in this world and find a place of "belonging; you ended up abandoning yourself in the process. Many of my clients come to me because they are seeking to find themselves again and reclaim their needs and desires.

Schedule through my website link in my bio today! Before his own private practice, Tim provided mental health and addiction counseling to individuals and groups. Most of his time was spent serving forensic clients, who were state-mandated to inpatient rehabilitation for a history of felony convictions and serious drug use. Many of them had dual diagnoses, meaning they had mental health issues coinciding with their substance use disorders (which is often the case). Tim relied heavily on various counseling theories including Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. He became trained in EMDR.

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.
