I use EMDR, elements of Internal Family Systems (parts/inner child work) and somatic techniques informed by polyvagal theory to support deeper nervous system healing.
Do you feel anxious or overwhelmed no matter how hard you try to think your way out of it? You may be carrying unhealed trauma. Trauma doesn’t have to be a single event, it is just a fancy word meaning ‘wound.’ Just like physical injuries, emotional wounds affect both the mind and body and can contribute to symptoms like anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling shut down. That doesn’t make you weak, broken, or ‘crazy,’ it makes you human. Our experiences can lead us to hold negative beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us. I am here to say that I believe your body has the wisdom to heal.

Sunday sessions now available. You’re the person everyone leans on—the one who answers the late-night calls, shows up no matter what, and works hard to hold it all together.

I provide trauma-informed care to individuals and am an EMDR trained therapist.
I have always had an interest in not only how our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected, but also what takes place when an imbalance exists and then how to implore healing. I look at an individual through a holistic lens, and use this approach, when appropriate. As part of this holistic approach, I have the belief that as a part of the world and universe in which we live, that we are all, interconnected and operate as a part of a dynamic system. I am especially interested in how mindfulness practices, yoga, animals, and nature, might influence the ideas of acceptance and non-judgment, and overall, positively affect an individual.

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.
