Utilizing bilateral stimulation of the brain, EMDR resourcing techniques allow for the client to connect their emotional mind to their rational mind, thereby desensitizing the emotions behind a traumatic event.

Using the ability to think, feel and act, together we collectively look at and change how our thoughts influence our emotions, thus our behaviors. Together we alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic.

In biofeedback, we use the power of the vagus nerve to create a safe and calm space for clearing brain fog and alleviating symptoms of panic and anxiety/. Utilizing Biofeedback will assist the body into falling back into homeostasis (a healthy balance of rest and digest instead of fight and flight).

When experiencing anxiety, the feelings of being overwhelmed, afraid, and/or worried can seem difficult to bear and handle. In this experience, the present and the future, may appear daunting and scary. Together we will develop the skillset to look at our thoughts and feelings while learning to recognize how to address the root cause and re-create a better present and future.

Some of the symptoms of depression are seen in fear, sadness, worry, anger and a lack of energy. In depression we can loose our desire for life and loose interest in the things that matter. Together we will develop the skillset and the mindset to re-create a drive for life, motivation and happiness. In this we will learn to practice intentionality while remaining present. We will not let the past dictate our present.

Trauma gets stuck in our body through several means which may be related to suppression or un-dealt with emotions. When we do not know how to process our emotions, our emotions process for us in potentially unhealthy ways. Together we look at these past experiences and how they affect our present and our future. Then we collectively develop a plan and skillset to create a new mindset for better living.
