We all struggle with change, either adapting to it, or enabling it in our lives.
As a trauma therapist, I seek to help people heal their painful past experiences such as loss, problematic relationships, childhood abuse. These experiences can manifest now as addiction, depression, anxiety, interpersonal struggles, sleep issues, and even chronic pain.
It is in making different meanings of these difficult memories that we are able to walk forward as a changed self.
I almost exclusively use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a treatment modality. If you are unfamiliar with EMDR, a good video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkfln-ZtWeY
It has been my experience that EMDR is capable of delivering incredible results in helping people move beyond a traumatic past and instilling new patterns for the future. It is an evidence-based treatment that has been found to be effective for many different conditions and symptoms.
I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey toward (re)claiming your wellness.

While I only offer services virtually, my practice is able to accept in person clients to be seen at our dowtown Eureka location. These services are provided by the associates I supervise and their information can be found here:
