I have additional certification in treating Trauma related disorders using EMDR, Tics/Tourette's Disorders using The Tourette's Association of America endorsed CBIT, and Substance Use Disorders as I am also licensed as an LICDC-CS in the State of Ohio.
We've all heard the saying "things happen for a reason" and "you wouldn't be who you are today if that didn't happen". While there may be some truth to those, that doesn't mean we have to let them define us. It is easy to feel like you are stuck in a cycle that you cant seem to break out of. A cycle of substance usage, anger, fear, avoidant behavior, unhealthy relationships etc. You don't have to surrender, you have the ability to take control of your life for a better future. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, or a past trauma, I can help you navigate through your mental health journey.

I’ll help you understand why things feel out of control, and using EMDR and other tools we’ll start easing the pain you’re experiencing.
What happened to you hurt deeply, and it’s affected your whole life. Your relationships aren’t the best, and you’ve been getting upset or irritated over nothing. Little things can ruin your whole day, and you can’t figure out why. You notice you’re “triggered,” but you just can’t seem to bounce back. To make matters worse, beliefs such as “I need to be perfect and please everyone,” or “I’m not good enough,” run through your head and affect your quality of life. Working through the past is a big step, and it’s great you’ve already begun by being here.

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.
