As we work together to understand and identify ways to address tensions and struggles, I can help work through issues via technology or in person address issues with tools like EMDR and couples communication techniques.
Life is difficult at times, and it can feel more of a burden than a load. When you feel overwhelmed, support through understanding and solution seeking can be helpful. While it often feels safer to be tentative and retreat, finding someone safe to help address and resolve issues can be more beneficial for growth in successful living.

I believe you already possess within you, everything you need to work through whatever issue you bring to my office. You simply need some help pulling it out. Maybe you know exactly what the issue is or maybe you are having a hard time pinpointing what is going on, but you know something "feels off". Two of the biggest questions we tackle in your first session are, "What final made you decide to come to therapy?" and "What do you hope to gain by coming to therapy?" These two questions help lay the foundation we will build on.

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.
