I also specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy ( EMDR), a leading treatments for PTSD as recognized by the World Health Organization.
It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

In our work together, you will discover EMDR, a neurocognitive treatment that helps you process the trauma that echoes in your mind.
The trauma you experienced, whether recent or in childhood, has kept you in fear that it will happen again. Sometimes, your heart will race for no reason. You’ll be in a safe space, but you’ll find yourself breathing heavily with your hands shaking. Nightmares often haunt your dreams, and you’ll wake up in a sweat. It’s even difficult to look at yourself in the mirror; all you see is the helpless person who went through such pain staring back at you. Friends and family struggle to connect with you because they don’t understand why you seem depressed or anxious. What they’ll never know is that it’s been so long since you’ve felt joy.

Using therapies like EMDR and EFT, I can help set you free from the debilitating shame and hurt you’re experiencing, process the disturbing memories holding you back and help you let go of your pain once and for all.
You feel like not being able to catch your breath, and your heart is jumping out of your chest? Logically, you know you’re safe, but you don’t feel that way. Instead, your body is tense and restless. Constantly on edge, unable to relax, ready for some unseen threat to strike. As it piles up inside, you feel more irritated, moody, and not being able to focus. You try to put the disturbing memories out of your head. But it's not working. You are overwhelmed with shame and self-blame. The ongoing thoughts race in your head, not allowing you to complete daily tasks and have a good restful sleep at night. Does it sound similar?

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.
