Individual Therapy

In our therapy sessions, we’ll work together to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior. Therapy will help you see new possibilities and skills helping you through life's journey.  I’m confident you’ll find personalized individual therapy beneficial and inspirational.  We will use cognitive behavioral therapy as a starting place to help you look at situations differently and learn the control you have in how you think and respond to events.  We can not control other people, but you can control how you react to them. 

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Our brains have a natural way to recover from traumatic memories and events. This process involves communication between the amygdala (the alarm signal for stressful events), the hippocampus (which assists with learning, including memories about safety and danger), and the prefrontal cortex (which analyzes and controls behavior and emotion). While many times traumatic experiences can be managed and resolved spontaneously, they may not be processed without help. Stress responses are part of our natural fight, flight, or freeze instincts. When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create feelings of overwhelm, of being back in that moment, or of being “frozen in time.” EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume.  The experience is still remembered, but the fight, flight, or freeze response from the original event is resolved.” Quoted from the EMDRIA website
