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.

I provide a genuine, warm, and open environment that allows you to explore your difficulties, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and develop insight. I view each individual I work with as unique and strive to create an environment that is best suited for your personal needs. I will come up with a comprehensive treatment plan and adjust as you and I may see fit throughout the course of treatment.

I do my best work with the people most like my people; queer, trans, leftist at least, and usually anxious, often nonmonogamous. I work with individuals, dyads, triads, etc. I am particularly interested in trauma-work, disassociation, and navigating relational difficulties of any kind.

Life is stressful! Relationships, work, oppressive systems, exploring sexual and gender identities...these are some of issues that bring clients and me together. In each of these situations, we creatively sift through a variety of emotions and pulls, and the anxiety and depressed feelings that often emerge. In our relationship, we'll work to expand patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and explore new solutions to reach your goals.

My clients want to work with me to achieve their goals and resolve any conflict they are experiencing in their life. I enjoy working with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, OCD, addictive behaviors, eating disorders, difficult life experiences, trauma, ASD, medically compromised family issues, chronic mental health issues. I truly enjoy helping my clients with grief and loss so that they can move on from grief while holding onto their loved ones/or things.

My clients are motivated to change their behaviors and circumstances and work hard to create progress through practice of new skills. I work with single-event and complex trauma, dissociation, and personality/interpersonal difficulties as well as more general mental health conditions. My clients are usually between the ages of 18 and 50 but other clinicans work with younger and older clients. We are LGBTQ+ friendly, multi-culturally aware, and sex positive.
