I work with clients that are struggling with difficult life experiences, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, and phobias. Many of these struggles have roots in past trauma and the way that it is encoded in our brains and bodies. Recent developments in psychology offer great hope for situations like these. Treatment protocols like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can allow the brain and body to reprocess and rewrite the encoding much faster and effectively than traditional talk therapy. There is even hope for clients that have struggled with EMDR in the past, as the latest EMDR protocols and other therapy techniques like the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), Art Therapy, and the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), can help manage possible distress during therapy.
I would be honored to partner with you as you seek freedom from your present concerns and past trauma. I can contribute knowledge of the latest compassionate and scientifically proven methods to help resolve psychological issues and a unique perspective emphasizing mindfulness, acceptance, non-judgment, trust and comfort.
If you are struggling and need a partner to help guide you as you work to find answers and unlock your potential, I would be honored to work with you.
