You want to move on but it's not enough to say "Let's forget the past!" I help couples heal those wounded parts of their relationship by using an attachment (EFT) & trauma (EMDR) lens.
Are you tired of being the “dependable one” in your family!? You are juggling multiple roles of mom, wife, career woman. Everyone thinks you are superwoman, yet you are struggling silently. Despite excelling in your career and academia your inner critic says that you are “not good enough” & you need to be doing more! I see you. Maybe you are a professional, power couple looking to “boss up” at work without leaving your relationship behind. Let’s face it, life is hard…Marriage is hard…Raising kids is hard! Between work, kids, and family obligations we have very little left to give! And guess who gets our leftovers!? Our marriage!

EMDR Intensives are a way of doing focused work in a matter of days.
You are that women who everyone looks to because you "have it all together". You talk the talk, do all the things that are expected of you but you still find your self with that stinking thinking. You show up but the shit is surfacing even with the mask on. That little voice inside keeps telling you "I'm not good enough" "I don't deserve it", "I am not worthy". The messages you received growing up and even now from family, society and institutions are still there making you play small in your life, love and work. You are meant to be a force to be reckoned with Sis! The time has come to truly show up for yourself!

First things first, I am NOT your typical therapist. I am a trauma expert who utilizes EMDR for trauma processing. I am NOT interested in you sitting on the couch with me for years. I want you to dive right in, do the hard work, heal and get on with living your full potential in life. Instead of putting out fires, I want to get to the root and figure out what’s causing them in the first place. Once we’ve dug deep, we will see what needs to be repaired, what’s not working and explore what you want to see happen in your life. Then we will focus on rebuilding so that you can be free to live without limitations or blocks.

You are struggling to put the pieces back together after challenging life experiences. You put so much into others and often find putting yourself first can be incredibly difficult. You are driven to untangle the effects of past trauma that you realize are impacting your self-worth, relationships, and overall zest for life. I would be honored to provide a space just for you to share openly and honestly, and to get connected to your authentic self. Together, we will unpack the roots of your presenting challenges and life patterns to create lasting change.

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.
