EMDR Therapists in Brunswick County, NC

The common thread that all of my work has shown me is that we are all precious and fragile. We are all wonderful and successful, yet hurting at the same time. Life is so complex, and yet we all find an amazing way to keep on moving ahead. Every day I get the honor of going through life aside my clients, seeing their most fragile and vulnerable sides, while also celebrating their most empowered moments. I am so honored and grateful for the ability to create a safe space for you to express yourself and to heal. I offer EMDR intensive options for those who want to get more momentum in their treatment.

Do you find yourself repeating the same actions that have caused unnecessary pain and suffering in your life? Do you often feel alone and struggle with intrusive thoughts or overwhelming emotions? At times, we may feel lost in our own individual journeys, however, therapy can be a tremendous segue into personal healing. I believe in treating the root of the symptom while supporting my clients through their emotional processes geared toward growth and resolution. You are not alone.
