EMDR Therapists in Greensburg, PA

Have you experienced a life shattering event that changed the way you looked at yourself? Trauma impacts us in many ways & makes us feel disconnected from who we truly are and what we really want out of our lives. The World Health Organization recommends EMDR therapy as an effective treatment for trauma. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to process traumatic events in a more adaptive manner & can alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, etc.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. In particular, I work with individuals (and their families) impacted by traumatic stress. I would describe traumatic stress as an "unhealed wound." These wounds can manifest themselves in disruptive behaviors, defiance, anxiety, depression, struggles with focus, aggression, self-injury, perfectionism and substance use. When wounds are triggered it is common for the person to engage in a fight, flight, or freeze response. The trauma oriented work that I offer assists people of all ages to engage in more effective responses to their wounds. The fight, flight, or freeze response goes away.

Are you depressed due to difficulties in your current relationship? Do you have a history of physical, sexual or verbal abuse? Do you find yourself isolating out of fear of being hurt again? If you are struggeling in these areas I have extensive training in women's and men's issues and can help with restoring your self esteem and the balance in your life. Some of the difficulties that you may be facing can also stem from the loss of someone important in your life. As a certified grief counselor I will provide guidance and encouragement during this difficult time.

Healing isn’t easy & taking the first step of seeking a therapist takes a lot of courage. Healing involves being patient & kind with yourself, along with stepping out of your comfort zone in order to talk about tough things so you can grow. Often in life we are faced with many challenges and feel like we are just stuck. My role as your therapist is to help you sort out these emotions and experiences that have you feeling like you are hitting a wall. Together we will work to identify unhealthy patterns and develop skills to help you take control of your life.

We all need support at times and be proud of yourself for reaching out as it can be difficult. Stress, anxiety, depression, and trouble with life situations can lead to less satisfaction with life. Sometimes having healthy relationships and boundaries are difficult to achieve and having some help can make the process easier. I work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, autism and ADHD.

As a result, you find your life getting smaller and more limited by the day. And despite your best attempts to navigate around these feelings, they still flood back without warning or provocation. You wonder if you’ll ever return to being who you were before this happened to you.
