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.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, depressed, burnt out, or uncertain about the future? Maybe you are burdened by a constant humming of anxiety that you just can't shake?

Therapy can be a guiding light back to what matters most. I can teach you the skills to navigate this terrain and realign with your values, purpose, and meaning in life.

I work with clients (16+) who struggle with anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, and difficulty in relationships. Other specialties include trauma and personal growth. They may be overwhelmed by racing thoughts, intense emotions, and stressful relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are high-performing, highly responsible individuals who feel burdened by self-judgment, caretaking others, and struggle to move through their core emotions in order to access their personal power.

I work with adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, relationship stressors, grief, and loss, among other challenges, in a geek and LGBTQ+-friendly environment. Our work together focuses on you- where you are, your goals, and where you want the direction of your story to go. Part of the work is answering the questions that establish the goals and direction, and I look forward to exploring this with you where you are.
