You've been watching your teenager or young adult struggle with low self esteem, low mood or energy, or performance problems, often after trying traditional psychotherapy/counseling or medications. They often lack motivation and may even struggle to get out of bed. Because of these problems it may be difficult for them to keep up with homework or other responsibilities. Seemingly small frustrations can escalate quickly, often feeling overwhelmed easily. They can also be easily distracted or unable to complete assignments, adding to further frustrations and possibly a sense of ongoing failure.

Together we'll move at a pace that feels right for you, using approaches like EMDR, IFS, and other trauma-informed therapies to help you process (not just talk about) what's been troubling you.
Do you ever feel like you've been moving through life on autopilot? Maybe you understand why you think, feel, or react the way you do yet still find yourself stuck in the same painful patterns. Many of the people I work with have spent years surviving by staying in their heads—analyzing, intellectualizing, or compartmentalizing difficult experiences because those strategies once helped them get through. While insight is important, healing often requires more than understanding. It requires a safe, supportive relationship where you can begin to process what your nervous system has been carrying for so long.

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.
