I help women struggle with low self-worth and feel disconnected from theirselves after experiences like sexual trauma, abusive or neglectful families, and other painful experiences. If you’ve hit a wall in talk therapy, it might be time to try something different. EMDR is an evidence-based treatment that helps separate past from present, untangling the ways the past continues to haunt you. It can help reduce negative beliefs, emotional reactivity, panic, anxiety, and other lingering effects of the past leading to feeling better about yourself, improved relationships, self confidence, and more.
I specialize in using advanced training techniques that blend EMDR, somatic approaches and parts work. Hourly sessions or multi hour intensives allow you the time to work through challenges, reducing symptoms and processing memories faster, to eliminate weekly appointments. Regain your time and your emotional freedom and spend less time in therapy overall.
I’m also a person in long term recovery from C/PTSD and personally have found EMDR to be so helpful in healing. I understand how difficult this can be. Spend less total time in therapy with this researched-backed approach. Let's connect to explore how EMDR intensives can help you. Previous clients, please reach out directly.
