Two approaches, woven together.

EMDR is an extensively researched, evidence-based psychotherapy. As the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) describes it, EMDR is proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences — including PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

It’s a structured, eight-phase approach that helps the brain reprocess stuck, distressing memories so they no longer feel so raw. And, remarkably, this can happen without needing to talk through every painful detail. As that processing completes, the distress around a memory eases, the negative beliefs we carry about ourselves are reformulated, and the body finally settles.

Talk therapy is counseling in its most familiar form, the two of us, in honest conversation. The American Counseling Association defines counseling as a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals.

Decades of research point to counseling’s real and lasting impact on wellbeing. One of its quietest gifts is resilience — our capacity to adapt and grow in the face of adversity, which research tells us can be cultivated and strengthened over time.

I work primarily from a Narrative Therapy lens, integrating person-centered, attachment-based, mindfulness-based, and embodiment practices, together drawing out the resilience and strength that already live within you.
