I am trained in EMDR and use it with my trauma survivors to process complex traumas.
Our everyday lives are filled with events that we have no control over. Some go about their lives embracing this chaos, but for others this task may seem challenging and unattainable. I believe that with proper guidance one can accept life as spontaneous chain of events and feel comfortable throughout the process of change. Without purpose life loses its meaning, therefore in my sessions I stress the importance of finding and redefining one's purpose, life’s meaning, and increase overall satisfaction.

For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET.
Accepting new patients struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or unresolved trauma. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I can help you build skills to effectively manage the unexpected (or even the unwanted but expected). Stress can influence the way you see yourself and the world, keeping you stuck in past patterns despite your best efforts. Sometimes these patterns require specific interventions before you can get some relief. I'm here to help you build skills necessary to navigate whatever life throws at you.

I am certified and trained as an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Clinician, Foster and Adoption Competent, and trained in Couples Counseling using Prepare/Enrich Model.
Virtual Only. As my patient, you will often enjoy the ability to be heard without judgement or interruption, when you want to share details of events that cause you to experience the emotions you are feeling. People often need an outlet as they process what they are feeling and I provide that in a safe environment. I guide the sessions to help encourage you in developing solutions when you are in that place emotionally, and ready for a positive change. Patients often find relief of their symptoms when they feel validated in how they are feeling, and supported as they learn how to cope with various situations that arise.

I offer in person and online counseling for women who have experienced narcissistic abuse, as well as EMDR for anxiety & trauma. On the outside, you look like you have it all together, but on the inside you feel like you are falling apart. You give 100% at work and in your relationships, but you still feel like you aren’t good enough. It’s been so long since you put yourself first. Instead, you’re constantly worried about even the smallest details and you’ve been focusing exclusively on others, bending over backwards to please all the people in your life, hoping that one day it will be reciprocated and lead to happiness.

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.
