Individual Therapy

Therapy is both a science and an art. It's a craft where we both get to know who you are and what you most want. It's deliberate, thoughtful, and intimate work.

 

​I approach this work in a multi-faceted way, primarily using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to address a wide range of symptoms or concerns. EMDR is not exclusive of other modalities - my method incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Attachment Theory as well. Though initially developed to treat the worst of traumatic events people have experienced, EMDR has evolved to be useful to many people along the spectrum of harm or abuse.

 

By using all that evidenced-based treatments can provide within the framework of EMDR, you will be able work towards lowering stress or improving your mood in the short term while also digging deeper to discover what is driving the worry, fatigue, despair that overwhelms you. I always aim for getting to the root of a problem, not just managing symptoms.  

 

Areas of focus include:

• Anxiety


• Low mood/energy/motivation


• Prenatal/postnatal mood changes

• Parenting Support

• Relationship concerns


• Trauma, including childhood, sexual and/or emotional abuse
