You may be feeling stuck, caught between the parts of you that want to move forward and the parts that keep you guarded.

Childhood and adolescence are supposed to be filled with joy, laughter, and fun; they are also filled with change, learning to navigate relationships and responsibilities, and the beginnings of figuring out who we are and where we fit in the systems of our lives. Have you (or other adults) noticed your child having bigger reactions, being less playful, refusing certain activities like school or sports, or having different interests/skills than their peers? Are you having trouble getting through to them? Are you interested in learning new ways of helping them get back to thriving?
If so, it might be time to try child-centered therapy

I am EMDRIA-certified and use EMDR along with somatic strategies and parts work to help process trauma.
When someone experiences trauma- it can affect multiple aspects of that person’s life. It may interfere in relationships, make it difficult to cope with daily life, cloud decision-making, and prompt a person to seek relief in ways that create more problems. Helping people change the way they view themselves and their future- especially people who don’t think it is possible for anything to change—is a special quest for me.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
