Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.
Clients whom I’ve worked well with are often experiencing issues such as relationship problems, work stress/burnout, life transitions, low self-esteem, emotional abuse/neglect, childhood trauma/injuries, work/secondary trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging behaviors. I've worked with creative people, such as writers and actors, to help bring their work to fruition. I also work with people in the medical/mental health/health fields, and those that work in high-tempo environments.

When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - What made you hit the "Search therapists" button? - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.

Trauma can make you feel deeply alone, like no one could possibly understand you. You may worry that your struggles are too much to handle-many of us bear this burden in silence. You search for someone who understands that healing isn't linear-who holds space for your experiences. In session, we'll work at your pace, creating an environment where strength is amplified. Together, we can explore paths to healing that honor your journey as you reconnect with yourself.

I like working with clients who want to heal through trauma that they have experienced. I work with clients who have C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, emotion dysregulation issues, low self-esteem, and limited emotional expression. I like to help clients develop emotional awareness, skills, and information on what can help you move forward on symptoms you are experiencing.

Folks tend to seek me out once feelings of fear, overwhelm, and exhaustion hit a breaking point. You may feel tension in your body right now. You may feel worn out, body and soul. Maybe you feel numb. You may be adjusting to life changes and feeling in over your head. Perhaps you've experienced an event you think you should be over by now, but you're not. I know you're here because you need support and a new perspective, and I believe I can help you create and enact a plan to feel better.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety and perfectionism, feeling paralyzed by the pressure to get everything right? You may deal with a relentless inner critic that constantly makes you question your abilities and decisions, leaving you feeling like an imposter despite your accomplishments.
Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.
