I utilize evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing ( EMDR), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Everyone goes through life experiencing trials and hardships, but that does not mean your experiences and feelings are less important or that you should go through it alone. Are you ready to explore these experiences and feelings and to make positive lifelong changes in the process? As your counselor, we can work together to get you where you want to be in life. My focus is on anxiety (generalized, social, panic) depression (major, persistent), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, trauma (early childhood, physical/sexual abuse, grief, acute, chronic, complex, PTSD), and perfectionism.

EMDR can be used to help reprocess past traumatic experiences, and I also can integrate Christian principles if it is desired.
Do you feel overwhelmed by the expectations you put on yourself and struggle to quiet that inner critic that tells you what you do isn't enough or how incapable you are? Do you struggle to feel contentment and joy? If you answer yes to these questions, you are not alone. For some of us, we had experiences that make us believe our performance is where our value is found. We then find ourselves in life reaching the goals that we set for ourselves only to go: “is this it?”. The reality is that another goal won’t fix this. This is a deeply rooted belief system that has to be challenged and deep wounds that need to be healed.

Are you suffering or having a hard time coping? Do your feelings or behaviors feel out of control? Has your relationship lost that spark or is tension increasing? Often, our attempts to manage our stress and pain can end up creating more pain for us. In therapy, I will provide a space that is safe and free of judgment, so we can work together to explore the changes you envision for yourself and your relationships. Change can be scary but we will build off the strengths and resources you already have that make change feel possible.

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.
