I am trained in several different therapies because each person has several different layers to their symptoms and lives. Shrek said it well with "Ogres are like onions, they have layers." I am not saying a person is an onion however, our lives are very complicated with lots of layers. I like Shrek's analogy because it keeps me curious as a therapist. If I am curious, I am not assuming I know everything about someone else. This is how I like to conduct therapy. I am not a healer. I work with you. I assist you in the healing journey and offer knowledge to help you move forward in your life. Your brain knows how to heal but sometimes the brain gets stuck in patterns, behaviors or memories.
I have years of experience that I bring to the therapy room. My experience includes but not limited to: Department of Child Safety, Community mental health, Inpatient hospital setting, Intensive outpatient groups, PHP substance use treatment setting, Veteran services provider and private practice setting. If you are curious about me, reach out. We can have a conversation because I offer a free 15 minutes consultation. Good luck in. your journey!
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a powerful method of psychotherapy that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress. It has been proven effective for alleviating symptoms of traumatic stress or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR, when done properly, is never about jumping right into the trauma story. It’s a process that starts with building skills to be able to experience unpleasant and unwanted sensations associated with trauma and stress without becoming overwhelmed or reactive to them. It’s about feeling safe in the body again. The majority of evidenced-based, effective trauma treatment is geared toward calming the nervous system, with the trauma story itself being a much smaller part of the process.
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma,
dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
Brainspotting is effective for a wide variety of emotional and somatic conditions. Brainspotting is particularly effective with trauma-based situations, helping to identify and heal underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression and other behavioral conditions. Brainspotting gives the therapist access to both brain and body processes. Its goal is to bypass the conscious, neocortical thinking to access the deeper, subcortical emotional and body-based parts of the brain.
