For trauma-informed care, I use EMDR & Fraser‘s table exercise to explore emotional parts; we rewire the brain to overcome intrusive thinking and somatic issues.
I am moving to a cash pay only practice due to the increased issues around billing. Together we will create a warm, compassionate, and understanding environment. The goal is for our time together to be in the no judgment zone by gaining skills in radical acceptance. I have developed a unique approach through building the therapeutic relationship to work with individuals struggling with stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma response, and self- harm. My clinical experience, calm demeanor, and aspiration for trust, help build meaningful relationships with clients through exploration of life choices.

My goal is to help clients discover what works best in their individual situation to feel in control of their lives and "back on track." In many cases this can be accomplished through a solution-oriented counseling approach, with warmth and respect for clients as unique individuals. Clients often examine and make choices regarding new ways of thinking about themselves, others and the world. In addition, I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and eye-movement desensitization reprocessing ( EMDR) therapy to assist clients with PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, low self-esteem, or an abuse history or trauma.

Did you know that EMDR works for children and teens?.
Struggles at home, work, school, or church can lead to frustration and doubt. There are ways that you can move from surviving through life to really have peace with life. People find that the increased frustration effects their life in ways of lost focus, broken relationships, discomfort in crowds, and loss of confidence to name a few. These all lead to the anxiety which makes one believe there is no escape. Do you find that you continue to feeling as if nothing will change? Do you find that many years of therapy have led to no results?

I specialize in insight-oriented therapy as well as EMDR, which is a somatically oriented therapy that helps clients recover from PTSD and from childhood/developmental trauma.
I work with adolescents and adults. I focus on helping people change unhappy patterns in their lives and find relief from suffering. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic approach which means helping clients gain insight into the dynamics of maladaptive patterns that have evolved in their lives. Gaining insight is often the first step, or the foundation, of positive change. I also do EMDR and parts work to facilitate recovery from trauma.

I know finding the right fit for a therapist can be a bit like shopping for a sofa: try a bunch before finding the one that makes you want to rest and stay a while. I’ll offer a few details that might make this process feel a little more directive. I am a licensed professional counselor and a marriage and family therapist candidate. My work is relational at its core, whether I am working with individuals, or larger units.

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.
