Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.

Do you want to learn more about yourself and improve your life? Are you struggling to get by, but want to have a different life? Are you trying to figure out what is keeping you stuck? Some of the struggles my clients have include: anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD/ADHD, and sleep difficulties. I understand it's overwhelming at times. I often work with highly sensitive individuals who have found different aspects of life overwhelming.

I believe the desire to heal is inside all of us; sometimes we just need help to get there. I am deeply inspired by the sacredness of helping people change and recover. I particularly love to work with survivors of all kinds in processing unresolved trauma; those who wish to build a life in recovery; & folks who are exploring sexuality and gender identities. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to create a compassionate, non-judgmental & "real" space to make personal evolution possible.

We specialize in working with people who have experienced difficult life circumstances, highly sensitive people (HSP), and those who feel hopeless & anxious. They are often high achieving but struggle with feeling never good enough or unlovable. They are left feeling empty, shamed, & insignificant at the end of the day. We also help couples who feel that they have drifted apart & help grow intimacy and communication. We view our clients as intelligent, curious, and resourceful individuals.

Relationships are the foundation of our lives. Through connection with one another we can either thrive or feel isolated and alone. Working to strengthen or even rebuild connections with others and with ourselves is extremely important to creating a sense of community and acceptance. If our foundation feels secure and safe, we can then allow ourselves to thrive in other areas of our lives. However, if our connection with others feels uncertain it can leave us feeling disconnected and withdrawn.
