I am trained in EMDR (Eye movement, desensitization, and reprocessing).
Do you struggle with a sexual trauma? Do you have childhood trauma? Are you battling an eating disorder? Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Are you reeling from grief or loss? Do you have problems with self-esteem and/or identity? If so, you have probably tried to conquer it yourself. You may have been told to “buck up” or “get it together.” But, try as you might, you can’t. Of course, you can’t. That would be like telling someone with a broken leg to “walk it off.” You need help. You need an understanding, empathetic, trained Christian counselor to come alongside you and help you face your issue, root out the cause

Motherhood is a unique journey, and amidst the joy and love, it can also bring forth complex emotions and unaddressed trauma. I understand that the constant stream of societal expectations and pressures can create feelings of isolation, guilt, and the loss of one's true self.

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.
