You may be experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts or memories about a situation that continue to invade your thinking. These symptoms can often be addressed through unique Trauma treatment methods that typically provide relief more rapidly.

Sometimes life is hard and having someone you can talk to who is educated, experienced and honest can be beneficial in helping you find ways to deal with hard times. Therapy is a great tool that will allow you to have a better understanding of who you are and why you feel and react the way that you do or why you don't! I believe that therapy is not something that is "cookie cutter" it is individualized to every person based on a combination of things. Therapy is effective when you have an open mind and are willing to make changes, while understanding that the process to getting yourself to a better mental/emotional place takes time.

Choosing the right counselor can be very difficult. Feeling weighed down, frustrated, and not able to move past difficult memories can make a person feel chained to the past. It is important that your concerns are heard, validated, and that your pain is relieved by healing the wounds. Unlike talk therapy, memories can be resolved without talking about them. EMDR and IFS are two evidenced based ways to permanently heal people who have trauma. This is my specialty. In addition, I am offering EMDR intensive therapy for people who desire to resolve the past pain more quickly and effectively. This option is private pay, only.
