About My Clients
I have 2 decades of experience with EMDR. Trauma, both "T" and "t", can feel exhausting--sleep disruption, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, panic, hopelessness, irritability, isolation, and over/under reacting to things. Let me help you feel the shift to ease of being. As a person-centered therapist, I believe in everyone's innate drive to be well. I embrace a growth mindset and believe you can become the person you want to be, regardless of the challenges.
My Background and Approach
The approaches I use I have been mastering over my long career helping people just like you. I have extensive training and experience in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is the foundation of my work. My desire is to help you get clarity about what is distressing you, and to build a "toolbox" that you can rely on throughout your life. I am approachable and person-centered. I believe in everyone's innate drive to be well, so we will work collaboratively to reach your goals and to build the life you want. Whether you are looking for extra support through a rough situation or you are ready to move your ilfe in a new direction, I look forward to helping you make that happen. Don't let challenges or trauma undermine your peace of mind.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe change is always possible because the human brain is amazing in its capacity evolve and grow. I believe we develop adaptive behaviors and beliefs to get us though the challenges in our lives. Mental health problems often result when those compensations no longer work and may even be causing problems themselves. When we either over react to a situation or under react, it's likely because whatever is happening has roots of unresolved experiences in our past. Find those and resolve them, and we can be free to adopt healthier, more appropriate beliefs and behaviors. I respect that you are the expert on you. Working together, you can write the rest of your story.
