I use mind body methods such as EMDR and EFT that provide effective results in a short period of time.
It's not uncommon for people to find themselves unable to get a handle on their mental and emotional worlds at certain times in their life. Whatever you are suffering from, it only takes the desire to make changes and the courage to ask for help that sets you on a path to feeling better. It is the start that stops most people, so congrats to you for making the first step! Whether you're coping with PTSD/trauma, or needing to overcome anxiety, depression, self esteem, OCD, and more. I use methods and modalities that can produce positive results in a short period of time, and are easy to learn and use on your own as well.

I am a trauma-focused therapist and primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy which my clients love and find very effective! I also use EMDR and energy clearing techniques that are especially helpful for healing traumatic memories, clear out old negative beliefs that do not serve us anymore, and to create healthier relationships with others.
Do you struggle with unworthiness and not good enough feelings? Do fears of failure and limiting negative beliefs keep you from taking action in achieving your goals? Perhaps you recognize that your past is getting in the way and it's time to do something about it. Do you tend to cope with stress in unhealthy ways? Are you struggling in relationships and feeling lonely and discontent? For over 20 years I have helped people to heal their past, learn to truly love themselves and to start living their best lives. I specialize in healing from narcissistic abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship dissatisfaction.

I am trained in EMDR and I am certified in the RTM Protocol (Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memory) both are effective treatments for PTSD and trauma related symptoms.
The past informs the present to help the future. Although we are not the sum of our problems, our early experiences with caregivers heavily influence how we operate in every aspect of life. I focus on helping people to overcome the challenges of trauma and PTSD symptoms and to understand the influence of these on relationships. An important part of the work I do is assisting loved ones of people with addiction who often find themselves dealing with significant anxiety, depressive symptoms, and relationship difficulties.

We may encounter many challenges along our path. Challenges may include loss, chronic/terminal illness, trauma and mood disruption. At times, we can manage these challenges on our own. At other times, working with someone can be of benefit - perhaps even a necessity - allowing us to understand and move through the challenge; reconnect with ourselves and others and generally function better in the world. As a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker, I offer my knowledge, skill, curiosity and compassion in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment to support you and/or family members in this process.

You dread the sound of your alarm clock in the morning and desperately look forward to bedtime before the day has started. You feel on edge and overwhelmed. You no longer go out with friends because you’re exhausted from caring for others. Anxiety is scary and can disrupt your life. It is exhausting. You deserve a life that is enjoyable and worth living.

In addition to working with depression, anxiety, trauma & grief, I've also assisted those trying to complete a book or thesis, or pass a major professional exam using EMDR.

The body-centered, mindfulness-based psychotherapy approaches include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Response ( EMDR), Life Force Yoga level 1 & Brain Spotting.
I specialize in depression, anxiety and trauma, and the use of alternative psychotherapy approaches. (However, I do offer traditional approaches). These new psychotherapies are body-centered and mindfulness-based. In other words, we are more than our thoughts - we are our sensations, feelings and that something which is greater than the self, the transpersonal. These new psychotherapies work directly with client's moment to moment awareness of what is felt or sensed within the body. These felt sensed experiences are then processed through cognition which then allow for the opportunity of insight, change and healing.

I am also EMDR trained.
I am passionate about supporting children and adults to heal from past hurt, whether it be from an event they might name as "trauma" or from a series of challenges. I work to support the whole person- mind, body, and spirit- and I integrate different techniques (including expressive therapy). I also invite individuals to bring spiritual parts of themselves to the work, e.g., their passions, beliefs, values and meaning-making systems. I work from a self-as-instrument model and also am interested in supporting providers and caregivers so they can be their best for the people they support.

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.
