I understand that trauma often resides in the body, making it necessary to go beyond traditional "talk therapy" for true healing. That is why I offer a range of transformative trauma therapies designed to help you break free from the past and reclaim your life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

Experience relief from trauma symptoms in as little as 3-20 sessions with EMDR. In this powerful therapy, a trained psychotherapist guides you through bilateral stimulation, using back-and-forth finger movements, a visual online prompt that your eyes follow, or “tappers” that vibrate intermittently in your hands. This technique mimics the REM sleep state, facilitating deep emotional processing. Together, we will address distressing emotions and negative thoughts linked to your trauma, helping to reduce physiological arousal and unlock a healthier mindset.

 

Attachment-Focused EMDR

Tailored for those experiencing complex or ongoing childhood trauma, this modified EMDR approach by Dr. Laurel Parnell creates new neural pathways in the brain. It effectively alleviates feelings of depression and emptiness commonly associated with childhood neglect. As one of the few therapists trained in this specialized method, I am committed to supporting your journey toward healing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, anger, eating disorders, and substance abuse. This comprehensive therapy consists of four modules—Mindfulness Skills, Emotion Regulation Skills, Distress Tolerance Skills, and Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills - empowering you to self-regulate and stabilize as you work through your challenges.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Also known as "Tapping," this innovative technique guides you in tapping on specific acupuncture points while acknowledging distress and affirming positive statements. Backed by over 200 studies, EFT effectively calms the body and mind, making it a powerful addition to your healing toolkit.

Pia Melody’s Developmental Immaturity Model

Gain valuable insights into how a less-than-nurturing upbringing impacts your development. We will explore crucial topics, including boundaries, self-esteem, identity, body image, and more, paving the way for a mature, healthy adulthood free from reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Remember, healing from trauma is not a one-size-fits-all journey. I personalize my approach based on your unique needs and the type of trauma you have experienced. Let us work together to create lasting change and empower you to live your fullest life.
