EMDR

I have extensive experience utilizing EMDR, both for the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, as well as applying the principles underlying EMDR to effectively treat mood disorders, anxiety, substance use disorders, binge eating, and OCD. I have special training in how to address dissociation, psychological defenses, and other issues that may have made prior treatment less effective.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment designed to help you heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. By using guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. This therapy is effective for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias, promoting rapid emotional relief and lasting healing. Ideal for those seeking to overcome past trauma.

In my experience talk therapy alone does not allow certain painful memories or beliefs to shift enough to offer relief. EMDR can be an effective tool to address traumatic memories or negative beliefs about ourselves. I am an EMDRIA trained EMDR therapist and have additional EMDR training in eating disorders and addictive disorders..

With EMDR, I like offering clients the opportunity to do trauma work, process anxiety, or other challenges in a way that allows them to reconnect with their bodies in order to diminish the emotion and vividness of difficult memories.

Both "big event" trauma, like a car accident, death of a loved one, abuse or assault, and more ongoing experiences of invalidation can lead to our thoughts and feelings being stuck. We may even experience the past as if it's happening in the present. EMDR is a way of letting the body, brain, and nervous system re-process memory so that it doesn't take hold of us in the same debilitating ways. I am trained in EMDR, which I often integrate with an approach called "parts work."

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an evidence based therapeutic technique to address trauma response and emotional reactions in the body. EMDR can be used to address: Anxiety, car accidents, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, panic attacks, and a variety of other issues. EMDR focuses on changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the distressing issues and aligning your brain back to its natural healing process.

I am a Certified EMDR therapist.

EMDR's transformative nature lies in its capacity to reprocess traumatic memories, shift negative beliefs, enhance emotional regulation, and promote positive changes in various aspects of an individual's life. It represents a powerful therapeutic tool for those seeking to overcome the lingering effects of life's distressing events and move towards healing and growth. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that heals at the speed of thought by taking the past out of the present.

I have been providing EMDR since 1994 after attending trainings in Level I and Level II with the EMDR Institute in 1994 and 1995. I have also attended additional EMDR training since then. I use this approach often in my practice and it has allowed me to provide much of the psychotherapy I offer for clients with ptsd. I usually provide five to six sessions evaluating client history, self-care, any other counseling needs, and community support before beginning this work.

I am fully trained in EMDR and regularly consult with other EMDR providers to ensure you are receiving high quality care.

I am an EMDR trained therapist and have completed some advanced training as well. I am a regular participant in a monthly EMDR consultation group with other therapists.

I specialize in Attachment-Focused EMDR, designed for healing trauma resulting from adverse childhood experiences – abuse, neglect, loss of loved ones, childhood illness and so on. If the past stayed in the past, we could just leave these behind and move on. But when we're under stress, the past can intrude into the present – as anxiety, depression, freezing, dissociation. These present-day experiences are our key to the healing process, and as they resolve, they're our best measure of success.

I was trained in SAFE EMDR (Somatic and Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in the summer of 2019.

I was trained in EMDR in 2016 and I have used it with almost clients I've seen since that time. It's an incredibly powerful treatment; it can do things that regular talk therapy simply can't do, and at a much faster pace. I've seen lives changed by EMDR and I truly believe it is one of the most effective therapies out there for those living with trauma and other types of "stuckness" (and the research supports this, too!).

EMDR (with creative arts focus!) - more accelerated approach to trauma processing that gets to the root of issues and uses creative arts practices to support integration.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life events. EMDR works by targeting unprocessed memories and experiences that may be causing emotional pain or negative beliefs. Together, we can determine if this is the right therapy for you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Studies and my experience show EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. This treatment can be used for trauma, anxiety, life stressors and more. EMDR is my primary treatment modality

I have EMDR training and see many folks experiencing traumatic life events and often incorporate EMDR into our work together.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing through EMDRIA.
