EXPERIENCE LIFE WITH PEACE, COMFORT, SAFETY AND SELF-LOVE

You are capable of healing. Your mind and body already have this ability.

Do you feel stuck? Anxious? Exhausted? Depressed? Like giving up?
Sometimes we get stuck. We feel like we are just going through the motions. We get tired of having bigger reactions than a situation seems to warrant. We are tired of repeating the same solutions with no positive results. We realize we're not making sense in our relationships and we're scared of emotionally hurting those we love.

I believe each person has the capacity to heal Self. I believe each person is an expert in their own life. I treat each person in my office with respect for their life history, for their overcoming of struggles and their ability to survive even in extremely challenging circumstances. I don’t ask: ‘What is wrong with you?’ I prefer to ask: ‘What has happened to you that affects you today?’

You deserve to feel better.

If you feel anxious, jumpy, on edge
If you feel down, depressed, don't want to wake up
If you have nightmares, flashbacks, always avoiding
If you feel spacey, foggy, not fully present

If you are a survivor of sexual abuse or assault
If you are a survivor of abusive relationships
If you had a rough childhood
If you have self-harmed or tried suicide

THERAPY MODALITIES

EMDR and DNMS

I use EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy) techniques with nearly every client. I use the Adaptive Information Processing model which explains that difficult memories are stored in neural networks that when activated make the person forget all of the positive (adaptive) information they know about themselves. My job as therapist is to guide you through reprocessing those memories and helping disconnect them from the pain. Ask about Nature-based EMDR and how I incorporate yoga and movement into sessions.

Some people come to therapy because they know what they need to work on. Others have no idea what they want to work on but are tired of their symptoms of poor sleep, body aches, headaches, panic attacks, self-harm, exhaustion and depression.
