I use EMDR to help you process those experiences, so that when you think of them now or encounter a trigger, your body is able to stay relaxed and calm.
Life can be pretty hard sometimes. Often clients come to me after suffering for a long time, looking for answers for why they feel this way and to find out how they can feel better. I work with first responders who take on the stress of it all for others, but they often struggle to provide care to themselves. As a former EMT myself, I know what the stress of the job entails, and I know it can be hard to talk about it with someone on the outside. Therapy can be a space to unload the backpack and get the support you need to start running on all cylinders again.

I am trained in EMDR and may incorporate it into our work together when it feels supportive and aligned with your goals.
I work with people who feel stuck between their own needs and the expectations of family, culture, or past experiences. Many carry domestic or sexual violence, childhood trauma, or intergenerational pain, and were taught to stay quiet because “family issues stay at home,” making it difficult to know where to turn for support.

I use a combination of EMDR, relationship-centered therapy, and Theraplay, earning a designation as a Trust-Based Relational Intervention Practitioner.
Trauma disrupts our ability to create healthy connections within ourselves and with those around us, leaving us with loneliness, confusion, and pain. Connections are paramount in the trauma healing process, so I assist clients with understanding and healing from their past, to create deep and meaningful connections, to improve current coping skills to better manage stress, and overcome behaviors that are holding them back. Have hope! Perhaps you're an athlete worried about your sport performance, such as overcoming injury or other setbacks. Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness when it comes to being an athlete!

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.
