As an sufferer of trauma, pain is your life. You could be a nurse, a stay-at-home mom, a student, or an accountant. Trauma does not discriminate. Whether you're a victim of childhood abuse or you're someone who witnesses disturbing events regularly, you know how it feels. You experience fitful nights of sleep, your emotions are all over the place, and you lack motivation. On top of that, friendships are not what they used to be, your spouse and family are annoying, and life seems to be falling apart. Lately, it’s been difficult to focus as a sense of fear has crept in. Everything important has lost meaning and you feel alone.

The trauma you experienced is valid and demands healing with someone who can accompany you on your journey. Through EMDR and Brainspotting, I help you work through memories that cause painful triggers. These methods touch the deepest part of the brain where trauma is held, healing emotions and the body so that painful memories lose their power over you.

Experience restful nights of sleep. Rediscover peace. Build strong relationships with your friends and loved ones. Find courage and strength again through healing and growth. Be confident and fulfilled on the job again. Call today for a free 15-minute consultation and take back your power and motivation!

I see individuals experiencing problems with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story. In deciding together on a treatment plan, we will map out together a time line of your lifetime significant events. You will then be given treatment options to reclaim your emotions, body responses, and reactivity. Growth and change result!
