I am an EMDR-certified therapist offering EMDR intensives to help clients find relief from trauma, anxiety, and depression. My clients tend to be experiencing some degree of stuckness related to what they've been through, what they're experiencing, or where they’re trying to go. Intensives offer us a unique container for working with trauma and painful life experiences by allowing us more space and time to go deep into an experience, pattern of behavior, or place you’re stuck and target the root of the issue. In this approach, therapy can become more efficient, and we can often accelerate symptom relief and healing.

Often what we view as our weaknesses can also become strengths, they just need to be in balance. Through self-examination and hard work we have the capacity to grow and surpass our current problems and limitations.

I also incorporate the treatment of childhood anxiety and provide parenting skills that are specifically tailored to the needs of the child.

Trauma can leave us feeling adrift. Unhappy and unsure of who we are. Emotions may be blunted or they may swing.

We can grow to honor who we are at our core and live from there.
