Areas of Expertise
Psychotherapy
"Trauma is regarded by some experts as an invisible epidemic, because many suffer from its effects without realizing it (Conti, 2021). Trauma changes our thought patterns, emotions, and biology. We can think of trauma as anything that causes emotional or physical pain enough to overwhelm our coping resources at the time. My psychotherapy practice is focused on alleviating the symptoms of trauma and stressor related disorders.
EMDR
I am an EMDR trained therapist pending certification with EMDRIA. EMDR is a brain based therapy that relies upon the brains ability to learn, modify, and adapt. EMDR therapy uses eye movements or tactile bi-lateral stimulation to accelerate the processing of traumatic memories.
Neurofeedback Training
Neurofeedback training is utilized both to promote mental health and to inspire peak performance, Neurofeedback can be used to improve functioning in individuals with ADHD, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Cognitive decline, and PTSD. Neurofeedback is often used by high performing athletes and business executives to promote performance.
My Approach
In our first few session, I'll gather a complete history and you will complete some assessments that will allow you and I to get a closer look at the impact of your symptoms on your overall functioning. With this as a guide, we will develop an individualized treatment plan. As we work that plan, we will check in regularly to determine if we are making progress toward your goals, or if the plan needs to be adjusted.
