I specialize in helping teens and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, or relationship issues connect to their own strengths and resources using EMDR, Energy Psychology, and mindfulness.
Is life spinning out of control? Does your head feel like a “worry machine" that's constantly churning? Are you continuously on edge with the feeling that something bad will happen? Maybe you don't trust yourself or anybody around you. Living in constant self-doubt and overthinking mode have you feeling stuck. Maybe everything on the exterior seems ok but you still feel that emptiness inside. You can’t escape that feeling of not being “good enough.” You’re chasing perfection and coming up short. You feel like a slave to everyone’s expectations of you and you don’t want to live like this anymore. Check my website for more info!

I use evidenced & research based practices such as: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Family Systems & Gottman.
Does it feel like you are not on the same page with your significant other lately? Is your child or teen's emotional state or behaviors worrying you? Our home life is so important to our well-being. When our relationships don't feel in sync, it can create emotional turmoil. It is a tough feeling when coming home does not feel like a respite from the daily stressors of life. I believe our emotional well-being and relationships are an integral part of our lives, and as such, they need the proper attention, just like going to the doctor for physical ailments.

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.

You have been trying to help your child for a few months now. You are frustrated, tired and worried. All you want is for your child to feel good about themselves, get along with others and be successful. You have tried sticker charts, time-out, taking things away, talking and reasoning with them. Lately, what usually happens is you lose your patience and then regret yelling at them. You never imagined you would be looking for therapy for your child. Maybe it's the school that has suggested you get help for your child. At this point, you just want a professional to take over because you just don't know what else to do anymore.

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.
