My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from various modalities, including eye movement de-sensitization and reprocessing ( EMDR), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), skill building, and various solution-focused techniques.
I strive to create a safe growth-oriented space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, working to uncover behavior patterns and gain insights into past experiences. I encourage clients to draw from their own strengths and resilience. Working collaboratively with my clients, I aim to foster new perspectives, increase self-awareness, and equip my clients with tools to create lasting change in their lives. I work with individuals and couples grappling with various obstacles, including depression, trauma, anxiety, adjustment issues, chronic illnesses, and low esteem. I am trauma focused and EMDR trained.

I offer different types of therapies like CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy), and EMDR (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing).
Do you feel powerless over your thoughts & feelings but do not know where to begin to identify the reasons you feel this way? It can feel like you have been dealing with the same issues over & over with no solution. You may have even tried different coping skills but nothing seems to get to that root cause, which I believe must be addressed. As a psychotherapist who specializes in Addiction, Trauma and PTSD I understand that we avoid many memories from the past due to pain, fear, sadness, etc. However, these memories we avoid are the reason we are feeling stuck right now.

I am EMDR trained and use EMDR theory to get the core of your mental health symptoms instead of a band-aid approach with short term results.
Do you experience negative thoughts about yourself, frequent worries about the future, or maybe even become so numb that you feel nothing at all? I believe that everyone has some sort of trauma from their past that continues to affect their well-being and relationships with others. I will be curious about what you are showing up to therapy with; because I believe that our symptoms tell a story. They tell us what helped us to survive in a sometimes harsh and unjust world, but maybe no longer serve us. In order words, the things we do that once protected us, are usually the same things that hold us back today.

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.
