Therapy

I would like you to feel that we are working in partnership to make the changes you would like to make in your life. Personal and family history are significant to help establish lifestyle patterns. Overall, I will help assist you in coming up with new ways to think about what is going on in your life. Then we can develop a program that allows you to find insight into yourself, and you can see the plan in action.

 The goal of EMDR therapy is to process completely the experiences that are causing problems and store them with appropriate emotions in the brain, and to include new ones that are needed to guide you in positive ways in the future.The inappropriate emotions, beliefs, and body sensations will be discarded. Leaving you with the emotions, understanding, and perspectives that lead to healthy and useful behavior.

Dealing with PTSD and complex trauma can be debilitating. Traumatic events in a persons life can cause crippling anxiety and fear that if left untreated can start to feel like it is controlling you. Your entire outlook can be skewed through the lens of trauma. Something small like going to the grocery store or meeting friends at a restaurant can seem so monumental and create a roller coaster of different emotions, one minute your angry and the next you are sad. Having to force yourself out of bed in the mornings to face the day can really take a toll on your emotional health and you do not have to face this alone.
