EMDR Therapists in Boca Raton, FL

My specialty involves working with people who find themselves experiencing big, strong emotions that feel out of control or overwhelming. Whether that's a result of being naturally wired as a highly sensitive person, an outgrowth of traumatic experiences, or often a combination of both, people who live life this way often struggle with managing their thoughts, behavior, and relationships. You might also become fearful of feelings and find yourself avoiding and pushing them away. I want to support you in understanding and validating those emotions while giving you the skills you'll need to make productive and lasting change.

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.

If you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, issues that keep rearing their ugly head from childhood or possibly past abuse or neglect, you have come to the right place.
