EMDR Therapists in Fair Oaks, CA
You’re finding it more and more difficult to hold it all together. After pushing down your emotions and "going along with things" for so long, there is all of a sudden very little space to hold anything else. It’s hard to concentrate, you’re irritable, your body aches. There are times when you feel you could jump out of your skin from the racing thoughts, and there are times where you want to crawl under a rock to escape the overwhelm. What has always worked in the past is not even touching these feelings.

I also have a passion to help people who have experienced trauma and am trained in EMDR.
Being a trauma survivor myself, I believe that Christian counseling is a vital part of recovery. I also have a passion to help couples improve their emotional and spiritual connection. Being married for 24 years and facing the many challenges we have faced has fueled me to find the healthiest marriage I can have and I want to impart this to others.

I am trained in EMDR and EFT (tapping), as well as IFS (Internal Family Systems).
When you grasp the emotions that drive you and have an accepting, interested guide, you can achieve better self-esteem, relationships, and goals. I do couples therapy from an emotionally-focused perspective. It works to stabilize the bond that is ruptured from an often rigid, and awful-feeling pattern that couples get stuck in.

I utilize CBT, DBT, EMDR, play therapy, and the Nonviolent Communication Model to help my clients create better relationships with themselves and others.
Let’s be real, life didn’t exactly come with an instruction manual, and some days it feels like you’re just trying to hang on while everything moves way too fast. It’s totally normal to feel like you're carrying more than your fair share, wondering if you'll ever get to set it down. Many people are looking for a way to feel more like themselves again. Confident, calm, and maybe even excited to start the day (imagine that!). Therapy can be a place to catch your breath, sort through the chaos, and figure out what you actually want your life to look like. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to do it alone.

I
regularly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)- one of the most researched and
effective treatments available-alongside EMDR for trauma processing, mindfulness
practices, and inner-child work.
Are you exhausted from giving so much of yourself-to your relationships, your work,
your family-and feeling like it’s never quite enough? Maybe you grew up in a home
where love felt conditional or unpredictable, and you learned early to manage everyone else’s emotions while putting your own on hold. Now those patterns are showing up in ways that are hard to ignore: anxiety that won’t quiet down, relationships that leave you feeling depleted, a persistent sense that you’ve lost touch with who you really are.
You don’t have to keep running on empty. Therapy can help you understand where
these patterns came from and how to change them.

I specialize in trauma-focused psychotherapy for adults using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy alongside talk therapy.
People come to therapy from many different places. Some are beginning therapy for the first time because they're looking for a thoughtful, focused approach to healing. Others have been to therapy before, gained meaningful insight, and still find themselves caught in the same anxiety, relationship patterns, or emotional reactions they hoped would have changed by now. Whatever brings you here, therapy can offer more than understanding why these patterns exist. It can help you experience meaningful change in the way you relate to yourself, your emotions, and the people around you.

I use a blend of EMDR, trauma-informed, and relational therapy.
Do you feel like you’re always holding it together but never fully at ease?
You’re the reliable one. You get things done. From the outside, it looks like you’re handling everything. But internally, your mind rarely shuts off. You replay conversations, second-guess decisions, and struggle to actually relax even when nothing is “wrong.”
I work with high-functioning, anxious adults who look put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not good enough underneath.
Many of my clients have tried pushing through, staying busy, or even talk therapy but still feel stuck in the same patterns.

I integrate CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR to help clients move beyond surface-level coping and start understanding the deeper patterns underneath anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm.
If you’re someone who looks “put together” on the outside but internally feels anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, therapy can help you understand why these patterns keep showing up. Many of the clients I work with are insightful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or constantly feeling responsible for everyone else.

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.
