I help create the person you envision yourself to be, getting past barriers you experience in putting it all in place. Self esteem, confidence, identifying and neutralizing triggers, healing from trauma, addiction, weight, focus, and pro active behaviors are my areas of specialty. I am a holistic practitioner and specialize in drug free treatment modalities such as EMDR, hypnosis (guided meditation/affirmation), and energy psychology (eft tapping) that allow you to peel away behaviors that get between you and your best expression of yourself. I am especially attuned to young and mature adults in helping to meet their needs.

My doctoral work focuses on treating Complex PTSD, and I am an EMDRIA trained EMDR practitioner.
I specialize in adults and teens with trauma with a specific focus on Complex PTSD. I also work with couples suffering from intimacy issues. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety and depression as well. My approach to therapy is to be honest and forward while promoting this in my clients. I believe a non-judgmental environment is very important. My clients like that I am blunt and confrontational in therapy, avoiding trite therapy terms and tailoring sessions to clients' specific needs. I use many different techniques and theories in my practice, though I tend to stay myself in session to remain real and honest.

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.
