In my view, the relationship of feelings and thoughts to behavior is important in understanding all aspects of our lives, including spiritual awareness. I use a variety of strategies that can help people make sense of their world, strategies that are mostly cognitive and insight-oriented in nature. These strategies are based on the notion that the way people see themselves and the world, influences how they feel and behave. For instance, it may be helpful to examine your family relationships to look at patterns of coping skills. We will talk about these strategies during our sessions and decide what will best fit your situation.

I use evidence-based treatments such as EMDR to help process and reduce the impact of trauma, while also weaving in inner child work to build self-compassion related to early emotional experiences.
We all long to feel a sense of belonging and connection, and positive relationships are essential in helping us live fulfilling lives. However, old wounds and different communication styles can sometimes prevent us from finding satisfaction in our current connections, leaving us feeling stuck and disillusioned. Life also has a way of pulling the rug from under our feet leaving us feeling lost, broken, and unsure of how we got to this point in our story.

I have tools to share with you that will assist you in ways to regulate your emotions. After looking at my profile, the first step may be to feel safe enough to call me.

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.
