Sometimes life can be challenging, but it doesn't always have to be. "You're not failing, you're healing" from Yvonne's book, Healing Between Sessions: An EMDR Supplemental Workbook. You may just need someone to talk to, to help you work out your problems and to listen. You may also be experiencing recent or past trauma that you, "just can't get over", so you suffer in silence, being re-traumatized. Well, you don't have to work through these difficult times alone. Let's Talk. As a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I treat individuals living with PTSD/Trauma. As an adoption/foster care therapist, I have experience working with individuals living with attachment issues, related to negative interpersonal experiences. I use meditation practices and active listening in a holistic approach.
We will discuss what is bringing them to counseling. I will ask why now, what has happened that made them think counseling can help. We will develop initial treatment goals, discuss social supports. We will discuss the modalities which could best serve you.
My 27 plus years of experience of working with individuals and families. I have successfully treated patients living with trauma, who are now living a life with meaning and purpose.
Individuals seeking to learn new ways to cope with everyday stressors of life. Sometimes life happens and seems unbearable. I use a holistic, non-judgmental approach, while teaching effective coping skills.
