EMDR Therapists in New Orleans, LA

This is a beginning; change is difficult. It's strength, not weakness, to seek help and make changes. Learning how to see our behaviors from a different perspective is valuable. Healing often comes through verbalizing our feelings. You will feel heard, respected, validated, receive constructive feedback and gain greater insight and understanding in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I focus on your strengths as a means to help facilitate change and promote independence. I am a very down-to-earth person and I am often told by my clients that it's easy to talk and relate to me.

You spend most of your time shining a light on the needs of others, leaving your own experience in the shadows. As a helper, healer or caregiver, you pour yourself out to others in your work and at home. You believe that you do what you do because you have a vision for a better world, but the daily reality of taking on the cares of others leaves you feeling numb and detached - or constantly on alert and unable to relax. Call it anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm - the bottom line is that it sucks the creativity, compassion, joy right out of you, leaving you drained. A more balanced life IS possible, and I can help.

As an EMDRIA approved Consultant, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Certified Brainspotting Therapist, I offer evidenced based brain-body psychotherapy for patients and EMDR consultation for therapists. Stress, anxiety, and trauma overwhelm our systems. Symptoms can manifest in unexpected ways. There may be an identifiable trigger or we may not know why we feel the way we do. These modalities work with the self-healing aspects of our biology, restoring balance to the nervous system, and influencing neural patterning so that deep and lasting change can occur. EMDR and BSP intensives/ customized accelerated therapy programs are available.

My intention as a therapist is to create a reflective space and to bring you clarity and support.
