One tool we can use is a trauma specific method called EMDR to help past traumas become “unstuck” so that you can move forward in a more adaptive way.
If you are suffering in the present due to past hurts and traumas, or are currently feeling stuck due to depression, life transitions, and/or worry that prevents you from doing the things you want to do, there is hope. You can work through past hurts and current stressors to create the present and future you desire. In order to move forward and reach your goals, it’s helpful to have a non-judgmental, experienced, and supportive therapist beside you. I hope to be that person for you. We can work together to create a treatment approach that is specific to your needs.

I am also trained in EMDR therapy and have seen it help people recover from various kinds of trauma and relieve symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Helping people reach their goals while focusing on holistic wellness through mind, body, and spirit, is my passion. I believe people have the capacity for change, through willingness and dedication. Every person presents with different stories, and their unique situations offer me an opportunity to meet them where they are. Their situation may have specific challenges, but they should not be without hope!

Glennon Melton, an author I admire, has described life as “brutiful.” Brutiful blends the two words, “Beautiful” & “Brutal”, which summarizes how we often experience our journeys in life. Life has its beautiful moments, it also has some difficult, hard times. When life feels painful and you need someone to talk to, I am someone who can provide a safe place to feel supported & heard. My goal is to provide a place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and coping strategies in order to find clarity, to better understand yourself, and to strengthen healthy emotion management and interpersonal skills.

Some days it just feels extra hard to human; to know and understand what you are feeling, and how to be in relationship with your family and friends. It can feel overwhelming and even lonely trying to navigate life and the world around us. We so deeply want to be seen, to be understood, to be heard. You are looking for answers, and yet, the process to the answers can feel messy and murky.

As an “introduction” to who I am, what I believe in, and what I “bring to the table” during our therapy sessions, please allow me to use a quote from one of my favorite books written by David Klow, LMFT, “You Are Not Crazy”. His words are exactly what I want you, my Client, to hear from me and for you to believe. You are not crazy. Really, you are not. Others are experiencing nearly the same things as you, yet they just don’t talk about it. They often don’t even have the words to describe what they are experiencing; but if they could, you may find that it is a lot like what you are going through.

I am also trained and experienced in EMDR for trauma-related issues.
Human beings are hard-wired for connection, which is as essential for survival as food, water, and air. When a person is deprived of that connection it creates bondage that can be crushing, robbing us of the freedom we were created to enjoy. My clinical experience includes trauma, attachment issues, adoption, parenting, marriage, family conflict, anxiety/depression, and spiritual formation.

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.
