Therapist Overview
Do thoughts like “I can’t shake my past”, “I don’t think this pain will ever go away”, or “I’m stuck” preoccupy your mind? Often, when something traumatic happens, it can get trapped in your brain with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, and feelings. Since the experience is stuck there, it continues to be triggered whenever a reminder comes up. It can be the basis of a lot of discomfort and negative emotions. We can process those memories so they are no longer disturbing using an evidence based treatment called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Therapist. EMDR is a healing journey. With EMDR, we search out the unresolved memories tied to your current symptoms or discomfort. Then one by one, we revisit them and have another chance to understand them, and resolve them in a prepared non overwhelming way. My practice is based on having the right attitude toward people. It’s easy to smile when you want the best for others. Contac
