Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences, trauma, or PTSD. It is a non-invasive and evidence-based method of psychotherapy that helps enhance people’s adaptive adult perspectives.

EMDR therapy can create a space for people to reprocess traumatic information and memories until it no longer impacts their everyday life. Through treatment, people begin to process memories in ways that lead to a more peaceful resolution.

Somatic therapy is a practice that helps us to become more aware of our bodies and awake in our lives. It is a non-linear, creative, and relational process by which we come to discover and heal ourselves.

Somatic therapy teaches us how to listen deeply to ourselves and increase our awareness of the more subtle parts of our body that may go unnoticed in our daily lives.

Awareness helps us make connections between what we think and how we feel and enable us to choose how to relate to ourselves and to others in ways that might be different than what we have known in the past.

Communication issues can get in the way of what we actually feel and need. Unhealthy communication alienates us from the people we love through blame or isolation. Healthy communication brings us closer together and allows us to develop more depth in our relationships.

Working together, we will explore what is blocking healthy communication in your relationships. You will learn how to identify what you are feeling and learn to access your needs to feel empowered. I will help you build healthy communication skills and grounding techniques to regulate your nervous system so you can say what you mean.

Mindfulness is the human ability to be present and aware of where we are and what we’re doing. When we bring awareness to what we are directly experiencing while observing ourselves from a nonjudgemental place through our senses, our state of mind, or our thoughts and emotions, we’re being mindful.

It’s easy to find ourselves speeding through life or feeling as though we are in constant overdrive and uncertainty. Therapy offers a space to learn how not to react or be overwhelmed by what’s going on around us, but rather slow down and pay attention to how we are actually experiencing ourselves and our environment.
