EMDR Therapists in Jackson County, IN

I came into this work through my own experiences with both trauma and healing. By engaging in therapy, I began to experience the freedom and hope that came with facing and owning all the parts of my story rather than living within the context of fear and survival strategies that no longer served me. I would be honored to offer support and walk alongside you as you develop understanding and self-compassion, and seek to experience the discovery of freedom and hope for yourself.

Do you feel like you've never fully been able to put the past behind you, no matter how hard you've tried? Perhaps you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over or inadvertently repeating self-destructive behaviors, reacting in a way that doesn't fit with how you want to behave in your adult life. Or maybe you even have nightmares or memories that pop up on their own that feel as awful as it did the day that it happened. Do you ever feel worthless, ashamed, powerless, unsafe, or not good enough? If any of this feels true, you're not alone. I've worked with clients that experience this and more for the past 15 years.
