I have been trained in Trauma Art Narrative Therapy and EMDR.
WE HAVE HIPPA COMPLIANT VIDEO THERAPY available to all Pennsylvania clients. Are you Feeling anxious or out of control? Panicky? Having difficulties with loved ones? I can help. I believe the most important factor in therapy is not the particular style a therapist uses but the relationship between the client and the therapist. I work hard to provide an emotionally safe place where you will be able to connect with me and feel safe enough to tell me your story, your truths. Then together we will better understand where you are, where you'd like to be, and what you might do next to get there.

I am an EMDR trained therapist and working towards certification with EMDRIA.
I believe everyone has inherent value, has purpose, and belongs in this world. A person can be greatly impacted by stress, life changes, trauma, and pain/hurt which can lead people to believe they do not have value or feel no longer worthwhile. People can heal from these things and can learn new skills to better regulate emotions. Sometimes people just need someone to show up and help guide the healing process. We can heal the hurt and find ways to move forward in life. I work to provide a calm, safe, open, non-judgmental space to allow this process to begin.

EMDR is a great tool to access the part of our brain where trauma memories are stored.
I enjoy working with adult clients that have experienced childhood attachment wounds and are now experiencing difficulty in their adult relationships as a result. I use a combination of models, including EMDR trauma therapy to help clients heal and grow into their most vibrant and whole version of themself. Anxiety, depression, low self worth, and resentment can all come from unresolved trauma that is stuck in our body and brain. If we don’t address and treat it, it continuously shows up in our present day relationships.

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.
