My goal is to give you fresh perspectives, practical insights, and tools in a calm, relaxed environment. Together, we will explore the challenges, find solutions, and discover ways to conquer the obstacles. As a result, you will find you have more choices, awareness, and control of your feelings, reactions, and behaviors.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapies to treat trauma, anxiety, depression, insecurity, failed relationships, and other associated symptoms.
I have experience helping adolescents, adults, and military members find more peace, meaning, and joy in their lives. I look forward to helping you do the same.
The Process of Counseling. Counseling can result in many benefits to you, including improving interpersonal relationships and resolving the specific concerns that led you to seek help. As a collaborative process, counseling requires your active efforts, honesty, and openness to achieve desired changes. Change will sometimes be easy and swift; other times it will be slow and even frustrating. There is no guarantee that therapy will yield the intended results.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches.
While scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post-traumatic stress, EMDR can also be successful in the treatment of the following conditions:
- Panic attacks
- Phobias
- Pain disorders
- Performance anxiety
- Addictions
- Stress reduction
- Sexual and physical abuse
- Body dysmorphic disorders
- Personality disorders
- Disturbing memories
