I am also EMDR trained.
Are you struggling with a past or present situation? Are you feeling sad and hopeless? Are you having trouble controlling your anxiety? Do you need help identifying what drives your thoughts and behaviors? Whatever your needs may be, you and I can work together to change how you respond. We will explore triggers and identify what drives your thoughts and feelings. I prefer a holistic approach with a treatment model explicitly designed for you.

My goal is to provide you with a safe space to practice proven therapeutic techniques such as: mindfulness, mind-body work, EMDR, and CBT to help you feel in alignment with the life you live.
Your life seems to be going well, but deep inside you feel like you're just a great pretender. You’re doing your best to be a good parent, partner, daughter, co-worker, but no matter how hard you try, you end up feeling like you could be better. You’re struggling with feelings of doubt, grief, shame and irritability. When the day is over you deal with restless thoughts traveling a mile a minute, all to remind you of the things you have yet to get done. You can’t sleep and no matter how many times you try to organize your life, it just seems to always feel messy. One day you're a “go getter”, next day you struggle to get out of bed.

Even after years of psychotherapy, do you still feel affected by negative thoughts and emotions? Sometimes you cry out loud, “I can’t help but live this way!” despite all your efforts? I understand you feel exhausted from trying all the time with few reliefs. Often we suffer more from our memories than the life in front of us. The fear of experiencing these negative memories again builds fuel for sustaining depression, anger, and anxiety. We understand these challenges, and we will work with you to clear out the thick haze of persistent negative mood and anxiety so that your life can happen.

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.
