I work with clients using a combination of talk therapy approaches, sandtray therapy, EMDR, and Brainspotting.
You find yourself operating on autopilot most days - perhaps you're still getting things done, but not connecting to meaning, purpose, or your authentic self. Perhaps life is getting the best of you and you can't seem to come out on top any longer. It may be that anxiety attacks or panic dot the landscape of your life, or that you're feeling the steady creep of depression. Unwanted memories from the past may be taking their toll. You're ready to live a connected, joyful, authentic life, free from the fog of whatever might be holding you back.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.

You may have been “coping” with negative emotions for years, asking, “Is this all life has to offer?” EMDR therapy can help heal those burdensome emotions that weigh you down.
I just can’t carry this burden of sadness anymore! It feels like joy is something I’ll never experience. Even therapy didn’t seem to help. But, in Christ, we know there is always hope for healing and peace. I specialize in guiding people toward the emotional and spiritual peace they seek, even if other methods have failed. Together, we will work to bring about profound change through God’s grace. Confronting these overwhelming emotions can be daunting, but in faith, we can overcome. Let’s journey together toward the peace that surpasses all understanding, trusting God to heal and restore.

EMDR allows us to get to the root cause of your issues so that you can move forward with your life.
Is the past influencing your present life? I have discovered that so many of us have a hard time living in the present because of things from our past... or we struggle because we don't believe we are "good enough." I have been practicing for 13 years. I am trained in EMDR and believe everyone can grow, heal, and live fulfilling lives. My greatest joy is seeing my clients redefine who they are according to their values...Being able to be authentic. No longer confined to the pressures, ideals and expectations of others or shackled to the past.

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.
