I am dedicated to helping people heal holistically from past traumas, anxiety, depression, anger or relationship challenges. I use a very effective treatment modality called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people heal from traumatic memories, negative

beliefs about themselves, or past situations in one's life that have caused them emotional pain. Often , I blend EMDR interventions with "parts work"/Internal Family Systems (IFS) interventions, which is useful when a client has parts of themselves that are fearful of trauma work. In addition, I teach people how to manage their thoughts and emotions using mindfulness, mind/body, meditation practices, and cognitive behavioral methods. For those who are interested in healing their mental health naturally through changing their life style habits, I have training in how proper nutrition, sleep and exercise can help improve one's brain health, and therefore improve their mental health.
First session
During the first session, we spend some time getting to know each other, discussing symptoms and goals for treatment. I typically end the session explaining what methods I can use to help the client find relief.
Strengths
My greatest strength is building trust and connection with my clients. In addition, the integrative use of my tools (EMDR, IFS, mindfulness and cognitive therapy) has proven to be very useful for clients.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve anyone who is motivated to heal from negative beliefs, traumatic experiences, suffers from anxiety, depression, anger or relationship issues.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I am EMDR trained, have completed over 20 hours of clinically supervised work, am EMDRIA-eligible.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This method can be used to treat distorted, depressive thinking, anxious thinking, etc.
Mind-body approach
I offer mind/body, yoga, and mindfulness based stress reduction interventions to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and depression. This intervention also compliments EMDR and trauma interventions.

I have years of experiencing using this method to teach clients how to improve their sleep maintenance habits/behaviors to improve sleep. Proper sleep is crucial for good mental health.
