I have been seeing an increase in clients with concussions in my practice and noting that EMDR & Brainspotting have been reducing headache symptoms and improving moods.
I work with people ranging from children, adolescents, and adults who seek therapy for many different reasons. Dealing with emotional pain and stress is difficult and therapy helps people learn new ways to overcome the feeling of being stuck and empowers them to move forward with their lives. Common symptoms people experience are anxiety and depression and it can be inhibitory to a person's life, leading to negative feelings. I collaborate treatment with clients dealing with emotional and physical issues that can lead to positive life changes and a more fulfilled well being.

Using EMDR, IFS, Mindfulness, and CBT, I guide them toward lasting transformation.
As a trauma-focused therapist, I work with clients who are ready to explore their inner selves. Together, we uncover life experiences and patterns that have led to negative self-beliefs. These beliefs can be subtle and may manifest as anxiety, perfectionism, or depression. Often, though not always, they originate from childhood through one significant event or repeated smaller experiences that impart negative messages to a developing mind. Our goal is to release these old beliefs, alleviate the symptoms, and create a path toward a more peaceful and fulfilling future.

I specialize in Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing ( EMDR) therapy.
Ever since that terrifying day, you have been feeling helpless and alone. You don’t speak to your family or friends about it because you know they won’t understand. The memory is etched in your mind and you relive the trauma on a regular basis. You say to yourself, “What is wrong with me!” because you go back and forth between crying and shame. You long to get out of this mental state, but you don’t know how or who to ask for help. All you want to do is move forward and enjoy your life again. Start your path towards your goals. Go to that evening social event. Or just see friends without that constant feeling of fear and uneasiness.

I help individuals navigate difficult periods within life: developing easy to learn coping skills and developing an eye to see problems with wide perceptual lenses and equanimity. It is my hope that my clients feel listened to and supported, aspiring to create an environment of trust. I may work with different modalities that I have been trained with and have found success implementing ( only if a client resonants with that particular approach). We work together to find the way to move through the difficulty and true healing is restored.

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.
