I use a variety of modalities to support the healing and growth of my clients. In addition to traditional “talk therapy,” my primary modalities include EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness.
Where you look affects how you feel.
EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing) is an evidence-based practice that can be highly effective in working through traumatic experiences. EMDR involves helping to reset the way we hold trauma memories in our neural networks by “deprocessing” negative core beliefs and moving toward more adaptive ways of experiencing the world (“reprocessing”). I generally guide this work through bi-lateral tapping rather than the traditional back and forth eye movements. Through EMDR, we can find freedom from the emotional stuckness of past experiences that may be affecting how we see the world and negatively affecting our relationships or life goals.
I use both the traditional EMDR protocol for shifting difficult memories as well as a modified attachment-focused protocol for clients with more pervasive, developmental, relational childhood trauma.

The whole world opens when we accept this moment,
this very moment
