I typically use CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR with my clients.
I often meet clients when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. They feel uncertain about how to move forward or don't have the supports they need to do so, and may feel as if every day is a battle. In our work together, I provide validation and reflection, pulling from the many strengths you already have. At times, life can feel too overwhelming to even see past the next few days. In those moments, our work is about grounding in the here and now, developing skills to manage stress, and having space to process. I enjoy working with clients navigating issues related to fertility & pregnancy, parenting, trauma, and climate-related anxiety.

EMDR is an evidence-based treatment that can help us integrate distressing experiences by processing past memories, reducing current emotional distress, and planning for the future.
We all experience trauma and distress at some point in our lives. These past experiences, no matter how small or big they may seem, can take a toll on our mental health and act as a barrier to living the life we want to live. As an EMDR therapist, my practice is operated on the theory that our past experiences cause present distress and prevent us from reaching our goals.

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.
