Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach to therapy that helps individuals heal from trauma and stress by processing disturbing memories with bilateral stimulation of the brain (alternating left and right movements).

Recovery and Healing for those who have experienced Narcissistic and Emotional Abuse. Every time you try to express your feelings or needs with your partner, it turns into an argument.

You ask yourself “Am I the narcissist?” I specialize in helping women and men recover from narcissistic abuse. Feel like yourself again and experience joy in relationships.

You experienced ongoing trauma, stress, or disruptions in your life, most likely starting when you were young. You now struggle with constant feelings of guilt, anxiety, and self-loathing. You struggle in relationships and often feel you can’t control your emotions. Through therapy you can begin to live the type of life you want. With therapy you can understand your mind and why/how you respond to stress, feel less anxious and depressed, improve your concentration, and heal from trauma.

You go through the motions of daily life and most of the time you’re doing okay, but other times, you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or scared. You become irritated and snap at others but then immediately feel guilty and mad at yourself for "losing your cool." You have constant thoughts that something bad will happen or think negative things about yourself. Through counseling you can experience a new way of viewing the world with less worry and fear.
