Through EMDR therapy, we can address trauma, anxiety, or phobias in a way that keeps you completely in the drivers seat and allows your brain to do what it needs to do to process through stuck memories, emotions, physical sensations, and negative beliefs.
When trauma goes untreated, we can become triggered in our everyday life, struggle with negative beliefs about ourselves, and can start feeling overwhelmed and stuck. We can even end up with physical pain, issues with sleep, feeling completely shut down, or always on edge. Trauma is not something we can always talk our way out of and you might find yourself actively avoiding talking about what you went through or feeling like talking about it isn't helping you feel better. As an EMDR trained therapist, I am passionate about and trained to help people get unstuck and get relief from their trauma.

I am trained in Pia Mellody's Post Induction Therapy (PIT), EMDR, and draw from my experience working as a trauma and addiction therapist in private practice and intensive outpatient settings.
Do you feel anxious and resentful in your relationships? Ever find yourself obsessing over the perfect thing to do or say so that other person will change and everything will be okay? I've been there too. Codependence is a disconnection from true self rooted in relational trauma that impacts our self-esteem, ability to set boundaries, know our wants and needs, and find balance. Relating to others from these wounds leaves us feeling out of control and helpless. Working with a therapist who really understands relational trauma, how it impacts you, and how to heal can open you up to more peace, presence, and wholeness.

I am EMDR certified. We've all experienced ups and downs, of life, as the ocean we navigate through ebbs and flows. We may be in the same ocean of chaos around us, but out boats are all crafted differently. Some surf through waves in their expensive, privileged Yachts, and some of us are barely keeping afloat in our tattered paddle boats. No matter your type of boat, we all get tossed into the water from time to time. Don't let the waves flood you. Learn to keep your head above the waves, and eventually build up ability to surf over those rough waves with confidence.

My belief around therapy is to focus on what you want to accomplish, drawing from strengths you already possess. My style tends to be more active and interactive. Often individuals and couples face an impasse & may realize they might not have the tools to move forward. For some, it may be an ongoing concern like managing anxiety/depression, enhancing communication, healing from 'the past'. For some, there is an experience or event that is prohibiting forward movement.

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.
