Do you have past trauma that continues to impact your daily life and relationships? You are worthy of relief. And I am here to help you find relief from trauma symptoms so you can be fully present to the life in front of you. Through the 8 phases of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), I help you process painful or traumatic memories. The rapid eye movements in EMDR help relieve the distress attached to these memories, by activating the "timekeeper" in your prefrontal cortex. This timekeeper is what helps you differentiate between "then" and "now", a crucial element in healing from trauma. View 4 Photos The issues stemming from trauma that I work with most often are - anxiety, depression, grief & loss, relational difficulties with family members, and spiritual & existential questioning. I have special insight for those who have experienced spiritual trauma or religious abuse. I offer warmth, kindness, and an attuned presence in your healing process. The best indicator for whether therapy will be helpful to you is whether you feel like it's a good relational fit with your therapist. Please reach out for a free 15 minute phone consult to see how you feel talking with me. You can trust your gut, you'll know pretty quickly if it feels right.
