I offer EMDR treatment, EMDR intensives, and starting in March 2024, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
These days it is so easy to numb yourself and avoid dealing with issues that affect your well-being, your self-esteem, and your relationships. If you're feeling exhausted by this charade and you are ready to start peeling back the layers that are obscuring your true self, I can provide a soft place to land as you dig deep and heal. By exploring your personal history, your current thought patterns, and your relationships, my curiosity and expertise can help you identify the mindset issues and past wounds that need to be healed to help you move toward self-acceptance, authenticity, and self-confidence.

I feel that developing a meaningful connection with my clients is the most important aspect in helping them through the variety of difficulties that they may be facing. I focus on a "whole person" approach. I feel that every person has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change.

I have been trained in both Brainspotting (BSP) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
Seeking therapy can feel a little daunting, or maybe even embarrassing, but you're making the right choice. Have you been struggling with grief or loss? Do you find it hard to stay happy even though you have achieved a lot? Have you discovered an unresolved trauma that needs healing? Are you experiencing anxiety in unmanageable ways? Or do you just want help letting go of things that are keeping you "stuck?" I think I can help with that.

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.
