Hello! I am an EMDR trained trauma therapist. I am also a couples therapist who uses Gottman methods. I use EMDR to treat recent or distant traumatic life impacting incidents as well as multiple traumatic events, childhood and sexual trauma. EMDR is a way to sooth and restore the nervous system to previous functioning. If you are struggling with your partner, having constant unresolvable conflicts, feeling a lack of connection and frustration, couples therapy can be a great help to restore a sense of connection, friendship and shared meaning in your relationship.
The nervous system absorbs positive sensations the same way it absorbs trauma. With EMDR, we can sooth the nervous system, bringing it back to optimal functioning and alleviating depressive or anxious thoughts and feelings. Try a few sessions and see how it works for you. Build trust, friendship and shared meaning with your partner in couples therapy.
Do yourself a favor and find a therapist you enjoy having sessions with.

A session with me begins with hearing about what is happening with you at that moment, the tip of the iceberg. Patiently but thoroughly we explore together what is happening and why. After establishing clarity, we can more simply identify goals for a treatment plan. I track progress to ensure treatment direction is moving forward.

I use EMDR to process a range of traumatic events in individuals allowing the mind to feel safe and move forward. In couples therapy, I use Gottman method exercises to help couples connect and develop effective communication skills.
