Healthy relationships are the foundation of your child’s resilience.

I utilize various evidence-based modalities in my work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing ( EMDR) therapy.
Do you feel stuck in persistent and painful feelings of shame, guilt, regret, sadness, hurt, anger, or resentment? Or perhaps you feel paralyzed by fear and anxiety and worry constantly about the future. Are you having trouble changing destructive behaviors? You are not alone. Many people struggle with these experiences, and often feel hopeless and trapped in these patterns, without understanding why they occur or how to change them.

IFS and EMDR are unique therapy models.
Trauma is BIG...and small. It comes in many forms and at all stages of life. Do you sometimes have flashbacks to events that happened long ago? Do certain words, objects, people or places trigger you? Do you wonder if perhaps something that happened that you can't forget was a traumatic event? Do you wonder if you suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Did anyone ever tell you they think you have PTSD? I use a combination of IFS, EMDR and Brainspotting to help you resolve PTSD, life conflicts and severe stressors. Take the next step to see if an All Day Intensive is right for you or regular hourly sessions if that works best.

I am passionate about treating those impacted by traumatic experiences through evidence-based treatments such as IFS, EMDR, DBT, & CBT.
Struggling with mental health issues can create the belief that you are not good enough. You may even think that you're "crazy." These thoughts only breed more hopelessness & self-doubt. However, you may not realize that the behaviors you now consider crazy were most likely useful at one point in time. Learning to shift your perspective reduces feelings of shame & opens you up to new solutions. Empowering yourself through compassion can illuminate even the darkest parts of yourself. Feeling lost in the midst of your mental health is an isolating experience. A major goal as your therapist is to help you feel more connected.

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.
