Trauma, EMDR & Brainspotting
EMDR and Brainspotting are brain-based therapies that target maladaptive networks in the brain and rewires them to develop healthier responses to life stressors. They have been scientifically proven to treat trauma and other psychological issues.
EMDR involves "bilateral stimulation," while Brainspotting involves focusing on "brainspots" to release deep emotional and somatic experiences stored in the brain. Without the need for extensive talk therapy, your brain heals itself. Studies show these therapies can “yield the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.”

Sometimes you might find it hard to communicate with your partner, perhaps engaging in ongoing hurtful patterns or having the same argument on repeat. Maybe you're unsure about the future of the relationship, or maybe you just want to feel more in love.
Individuals change as life moves forward, and some partners change together and some move in different directions. Coming to therapy can help you not only understand your partner, but also understand yourself. This can help you learn how to improve communication, increase healthy behaviors, and feel satisfied in your relationship.

No matter your gender, race, or economic status, addiction doesn’t discriminate. It touches the lives of all of us in some way, and the journey to recovery can be frustrating and confusing. This is not only true for a person struggling with addiction, but also for loved ones.
My approach to addiction recovery is a strengths-based approach. We not only examine the effects of your past, but we also focus on how to build your support system and utilize your strengths to create the life you want to be living. The most important thing to remember is that you have support and you are not alone.
