INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY USING EMDR
I'm so glad you're here. It takes incredible courage to begin the work of therapy. If you have past trauma that continues to impact your daily life and relationships, I'm here to help you find relief and connect more fully to your life and your loved ones. I hold space for you to acknowledge the depth of your pain and extend kindness to all the parts of yourself that have helped you survive.

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. After reprocessing these memories, we begin to integrate new more helpful beliefs about who you are as a person.This evidence-based healing process will free you up to enjoy your life and relationships with renewed energy and creativity.
Neuralplasticity and Attachment
My use of EMDR in relational psychotherapy with adults draws from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, psychodynamic therapy, and Jungian therapy, in order to provide relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. The therapy process will help you increase your capacity for emotional regulation, create new neural pathways, expand your window of tolerance, and develop secure attachments in your important relationships.
