EMDR Therapists in Maplewood, MO
We’ll tinker together on techniques to fit you, such as Gendlin’s Focusing, somatic EMDR, IFS parts work, ACT, mindfulness, breath, movement, dreamwork, expressive arts, existential questions and bibliotherapy.
In hard times, important transformations are possible, but we can get lost and stuck. It’s painful when our usual approaches don’t work. It’s difficult to see outside our ways of operating in constant stress, intergenerational reactivity, or shoulds that misshape us. I help people see and get more free. I help you connect with your core knowing so you can more wisely revise your life. You may be grieving (death, divorce, lost years, etc). You may be facing changes (career decisions/shifts, peri-/menopause, illness, burnout, etc). Change can also be tough on relationships, and my holistic approach can help you refresh connection.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing ( EMDR).
Hi there, I am here to help you. I work with individuals, couples, and families with struggles ranging from current life issues, relationship struggles, and issues that have been a lifelong battle. Clients often come to me because they have hit the lowest point and have never felt more alone, even after trying therapy countless times before. Many clients have left counseling finding resolution and a drive to live their life to the fullest. My clients have expressed finding healing, feeling equipped to manage life, and having healthier relationships and connections with others that they previously thought weren't possible.

I am an EMDR Therapist and have witnessed amazing transformations.
If you've found yourself here, then I imagine you are looking for support to make a change in your life. It can be so challenging when you are shifting through all of these profiles to understand who can help you and how. It is true, there is not one counselor that is a great fit for each person. However, with over 14 years of therapist experience, I have seen that therapy REALLY works! I have also noticed that underneath a lot of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship concerns is trauma. I specialize in working with trauma using EMDR. I help people move from a life of pain to one where they experience thriving.

I love using modalities such as Developmental Needs Meeting (DNMS) and EMDR, integrative therapies that help people heal ALL aspects of themselves.
I'm honored to join you on your pathway towards peace and healing.

Past attachment wounding and trauma may cause you to react and behave in ways that feel out of your control and very much affect who you are and how you move around in the world today. There are ways you can heal from the pain and create different, healthier, and more fulfilling paths!

I've achieved basic and advanced training in EMDR therapy specifically for attachment trauma, training through the International Association of Clinical Sex Addiction Specialists for spouses of betrayal, and training through the Gottman Institute for couples work.
Have you ever wondered if your past sexual experiences might be negatively affecting your current well being? My counseling practice centers around helping individuals and couples who have experienced sexual trauma and/or brokenness in any of its various forms. Whether it be due to past abuse, recent infidelity, or a history of sexual, physical and emotional betrayal and trauma, I consider it a privilege to walk with clients into the darkness of their stories. I enjoy coming alongside and advocating for those who are tired of just coping, dissatisfied with their quality of life, and desperate for deep change and healing.

I use evidence-based practices like EMDR and Somatic Therapy, which are two powerful mind/body therapies that go much deeper than traditional talk therapy.
You’ve tried talk therapy, but it hasn’t been very effective. You still feel anxious, on-edge, and overwhelmed most of the time and you just feel so stuck. You still feel depleted at work, stagnant in your relationships, and just generally on-edge. You’re looking for a different approach that’s goes deeper and creates lasting change. You’re tired of putting in all the work to feel better but only getting a temporary fix. I’m a somatic therapist and I help clients access trauma stored in both the mind and body, so they can actually feel better and for good.

I help survivors overcome past traumas in order to help them begin to heal. After I obtained my master’s in counseling from Webster University, I started my career working in the world of non-profit mental health. It was during this time that I realized that we in the mental health community were often treating the wrong thing, our clients tended to be struggling with Trauma more than anything, but we’d be focused on substance use, depression, and anxiety. This would lead to stagnation, due to the real issues not being addressed.

You're living a different story. Maybe you always knew you would, because something about you has always been unusual. Maybe you planned to travel a well known path, but something happened, and you can't just go back to the way things were. Maybe you're burned out because something that was working for a long time just doesn't work anymore. Maybe you feel anxiety or depression or trauma is holding you back. You want to talk to someone comfortable with unconventional terrain, someone who doesn't insist that returning to the paved road is the answer but joins with you in the difficult work of mapping out new territory together.

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.
