You've been hurt by someone you love - maybe your parents or partner - and it has left you feeling anxious, uncertain and deeply sad. What now? You can explain your experiences and try to forgive, but you still feel alone. You want relationships that feel good but that seems impossible, so you just find yourself overwhelmed and kind of lost. What do you do about it? How do you "move on" with this weighing you down? I've spent years focusing on 1) how past experiences keep showing up in our current struggles and 2) what to DO to change that. It's deeper than understanding your story, it's actually feeling differently within yourself.
Stop fighting how you feel. I am a relational trauma expert and EMDR certified therapist, ready to help you understand your own experience in a new way AND use effective tools to address the aftereffects. I'm experienced in both online and in person work, plus offer EMDR Intensives for those who are ready to dive in and get the work done fast.
EMDR therapy with me is flexible, effective, full of metaphors and more fun than you expect with trauma work. I offer a free, ZERO-pressure consult call so you can figure out your next step, even if it's not with me. Insurance may be an option. Contact me any way you prefer & I'll respond ASAP, or book your own call on my website. Licensed in TX & TN.

The past is always present, always informing how our bodies perceive our daily experiences. When there's a disconnect between what you rational mind can acknowledge and the discomfort your body feels despite that, you need a tool that gets them reconnected. That's where EMDR comes in and, almost like magic, resets the instincts that hijack your day. You can feel better, and sooner than you think!
