Are you a first responder, veteran or emergency medical staff? Does your life seem unrecognizable, and you're wondering how the hell you got here? Do you constantly feel worried, on edge, nervous or anxious, and don't know how to change it? Are you drinking more than you want just to cope with life, or make it through the end of the day? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, confused, lost, or depressed. And the thought of the future scares you, and you don't know where to go next. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?! If this sounds familiar then I am here for you!
I specialize in two revolutionary therapies, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR therapy) & Brainspotting. The primary function of these brain-based therapies is to wake up the brain to “digest” distressing memories so they are no longer activating to your mind and body. It's a great tool for frontline workers to quickly get back to work!
I try to make counseling something to look forward to each week! So if you are sick and tired of being in survival mode, and are ready to try something different, check out my webpage and give me a call today! Text now for your free 15-minute consult!
