I offer an integrative approach with specialized training in EMDR (all ages) and TF-CBT therapy for teens and tweens.
Do you find yourself stuck, frustrated, or struggling in some way? Maybe you’re not sure why things are hard, or perhaps you have experienced something awful and wonder how you’ll ever move past it? When painful things happen, we can be left feeling confused, out of control, or unsure how to move forward and heal. You deserve to feel better and I would be honored to help.

I specialize in regulating the nervous system by utilizing holistic and integrative approaches such as: EMDR, mindfulness based CBT, DBT, and somatic work.
Living in this world involves facing twists and turns instead of a clear and steady path. This can make it difficult to know who to trust or where to go to get the healing you deserve. For a lot of us this may be depression and anxiety, complex trauma, or lack of a sense of identity. Trying to survive in a world where we are told to live and think a certain way, and feel like we have to mask who we truly are just to get through each day. I find it exceptionally important to implement compassionate and creative experiences to help you discover your true authentic self and become the main character of your story.

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.
