Using EMDR and other proven trauma-based therapeutic modalities, my clients learn more about themselves so that they can thrive even outside a clinical setting.
Life has its ups and downs, and adolescence can be particularly rough. I specialize in helping teenagers, and people of all ages, navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation in a safe and accepting environment. Together, we learn and reinforce vital skills to self-regulate and communicate healthily.

“Change is inevitable but personal growth is a choice. ” ― B. Proctor. This quote captures the essences of life. Sometimes life presents difficult circumstances and suddenly things began to feel unmanageable. It's a natural human response to figure out ways to cope because nobody wants to feel discomfort. What do you do to avoid or distract from life's stressors? We all have a choice. My purpose is to support your personal growth and uncover any beliefs systems that have created limitations in your life. The time is NOW to seek support. Experiencing freedom is within your reach.

I am trained in EMDR and use it to help with bad memories, anxiety, and difficult life choices.
Most clients come to therapy because they feel stuck. Some of my clients have inner conflicts, high-stress levels, or trauma that prevent them from forming meaningful relationships or being productive. They also don't know which option to take when faced with tough choices. Should you stay or walk out? Life commitments, family dysfunction, and questions about their ability to do the right thing when faced with decisions are so challenging. Sometimes we get to a certain stage in our lives where we could use a professional to help us navigate uncertainties. And that is when I step in to work with you through your struggles.

In over 40 years of practice, I have found that a combination of talk therapy and energy work is the most effective way to achieve emotional stability. My holistic mind-body approach helps reduce stress by releasing unprocessed emotions in the nervous system. As you let go of "stuck" emotional patterns, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma begin to disappear.

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.
