Treatment Approach
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
Approach Description: I primarily approach clients through the lens of a therapy approach called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that focuses on the ways the brain has adapted and responded to life experiences throughout the lifespan. EMDR interventions build coping strategies for internal support and then use specific interventions to desensitize the emotional responses around memories and negative beliefs. It is an intervention that treats the whole brain and body, rather than just the logical or thinking part of the brain. EMDR is my primary modality, but I customize treatment for each client and use research-based interventions and strategies from other therapy traditions as applicable.

Trauma has affected almost all of us in some way or another, even if it's more subtle. If you have been in close relationship with a narcissistic or toxic person, you have very likely experienced damage to your self-worth, your relationships, and even your physical health. I will help you identify the traumas and moments that have shaped your life and belief systems, and then target the specific memories and beliefs that are affecting your ability to heal and move forward. EMDR allows us to help your brain make connections and heal more quickly than it can do on its own or even with traditional talk therapy.
