Interventions include art therapy, sand tray, mindfulness, and EMDR.
I love to work with kids and adolescents and their families. I believe people don't have "problems" but rather "challenges" they learn to move through or re-frame. Together we learn new ways of doing things; new ways of looking at things; find a new path of our own choosing that feels better than the one we were on; relate to ourselves and others in a healthier way; learn to smile and laugh more; find the things we are good at doing; make a contribution; stress less; be who we are meant to be, and love who we are as a person!

Mental health issues affect everyone and can hinder our ability to function in important aspects of life. Some of us are struggling to process a loss, trauma, a life transition, or an illness. Some of us are feeling anxious and depressed, but we are unsure of the cause. When we keep repeating the same patterns that don’t serve us anymore, it can be difficult to move forward. Fortunately, you don’t have to go about your days feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and alone in your experiences.

My practice is devoted to creating a reflective space where individuals can make fuller contact with who they are and actively stretch beyond the limits of what they can do alone. Attention to one's inner life requires respect and courage, and fosters greater understanding, healing, growth, and the making of a more fulfilling life. The changes my patients seek to make include several dimensions. Improvements are often sought with respect to painfully familiar habits of thought, feeling, and action (or inaction). These are often longstanding burdens that one has carried for quite some time.

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.
