Feeling overwhelmed from reading therapist profiles? I understand! Please read this profile if you are looking for a grief and trauma specialist. I primarily work with bereaved adults, and also with adults who have experienced loss of health, serious accidents, loss of relationships, job loss and other recent traumatic experiences. I primarily work with adults individually, and sometimes with couples who are grieving a shared loss. Our work together will be determined by the needs of your nervous system, by our therapeutic relationship, and the specialized therapeutic tools that I bring in support of your healing process.

Do you feel trapped in unhealthy patterns or difficult emotions? Are there old wounds showing up in the present? Are you struggling with relationships and not quite sure why? When we experience trauma, particularly relational trauma, or difficult life events, we often get stuck in unhelpful patterns as a way to protect ourselves from re-experiencing pain.

At some point, we will all experience difficult circumstances which can bring up uncomfortable feelings. Sometimes we can manage; and sometimes we have negative feelings about our feelings, or new transitions surface old wounds, or our previously used skills don’t serve us as well as they once did. In these times, having a consistent, safe space to process our experience and receive support and feedback can alleviate unnecessary suffering. I offer this by supporting people experiencing anxiety, self-worth issues, and transitions in life or career. I'm also trained in
EMDR
to help people heal from trauma or disturbing memories.

The last years have been trying years for everyone. Perhaps they brought new behaviors from your partner, family member, or yourself. Maybe they reminded you of past traumas. Many have "big T" traumas like abuse or near-death experiences. We all have some "little t" traumas, like feeling rejected by others. Part of us gets stuck back to when we experienced the trauma. But you don't have to stay there! You can be free of the grip of both "big T" & "little t" traumas. These no longer have to affect you, your relationships, or many other things.

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.
