EMDR Therapists in East Aurora, NY
I am trained in EMDR (additional training and focus on Attachment), Internal Family Systems (IFS); I further draw from my training in Polyvagal and Somatic techniques, including breathwork, mindfulness and meditation- and anything that will increase your resources and felt sense of safety.
I work with teens (15+) and adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, anger, loneliness, or disconnection. You may notice painful relationship patterns yet feel stuck in cycles that are hard to break. Many of these patterns are rooted in trauma or early attachment experiences. In our work, I offer a warm, attuned space where you feel seen and safe. Together, we gently explore how your past shapes your present, strengthen self-understanding, and build new ways of relating—to yourself and others—with greater security and choice.

I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR to help professionals feel more grounded, resilient, and engaged in their lives.
From the outside, your life looks steady and put together — and in many ways, it is. You meet deadlines, support others, solve problems, and carry significant responsibility. Yet internally, you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of stress that never fully lets up. I specialize in working with high-functioning professionals—including social workers, healthcare providers, therapists, educators, leaders, and helping professionals—who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, compassion fatigue, anxiety, or the effects of unresolved trauma.

I use EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work in 90 min
You can see your patterns clearly, but that hasn't made them easier to change. Slowing down doesn't feel safe. Hard things haven't scared you, but a relationship, a quiet moment, or a “boring” Tuesday sometimes does.
I specialize in complex trauma, identity, and nervous system-informed therapy. The people I tend to work with look fine from the outside. Better than fine, often. High-functioning, competent, holding a lot together. And completely exhausted by the distance between who they are in a room full of people and what's actually going on underneath that. Often that includes veterans, first responders, and career professionals.

I specialize in EMDR therapy, somatic therapy, art therapy, mindfulness practices, and energy healing modalities such as Reiki.
Emotions are dynamic currents of energy that flow through the body. When experiences such as anxiety, depression, anger, or trauma arise, they can constrict this energy —placing the nervous system in a heightened state of alert. If left unexpressed, this energy may become stagnant, contributing to physical and emotional imbalance, and in some cases, illness.
My approach invites clients to reconnect with their body's experience of their emotions, and release toxic energetic patterns. Through cultivating awareness and embodied presence, they feel more empowered, emotionally balanced, and aligned with a deeper sense of fulfillment.

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.
