Individual Therapy

Each of us has a story. For some, the story involves disappointment, grief, trauma, abuse, or shame; for others, the story is one of anxiety, confusion, regret, or hopelessness. The experience of being heard and understood is one that promises hope and allows us to find the strength and courage to live fully in the present. I commend you for taking a first step toward finding meaning and healing. I look forward to meeting you in the midst of your story and walking with you toward a more fulfilling future. 

I am an EMDR-trained therapist and use EMDR as my main therapeutic modality. EMDR is an evidenced-based, highly effective therapy which offers healing without re-traumatization for a wide range of therapeutic issues. It is the most thoroughly researched method used in the treatment of trauma. EMDR helps to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories as well as the associated negative core beliefs and distressing emotions. It helps individuals reprocess past experiences and rewires the brain by strengthening more adaptive and helpful beliefs. In addition to EMDR, I also integrate other evidence-based therapeutic modalities into my work including ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

My areas of focus include:

• Mood disorders

• Anxiety disorders

• Grief and loss

• Family-of-origin issues

• Relational issues

• Trauma

• Conflict resolution

• Assertive communication

• Self-identity/self-esteem/self-image
