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.

My ideal client is ready to get curious about their story, their drives, and what's holding them back. My ideal client may be new to treatment, but might also have not found the "right fit" in traditional talk therapy. My ideal client is willing to go outside of their comfort zone to try something new and creative, and embrace the power of imagery and art.
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.

If you're looking for therapy for yourself, or for you & your partner, I can help! We all experience challenges, stresses, and obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, confused, or lost. I believe in creating a fully accepting space for you to openly share the challenges that you may be facing, to help you gain a greater sense of self control, authenticity and clarity within your life. We all have the capacity to transform our own lives, sometimes we just need a little help discovering how.

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.
