What We Offer

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) EMDRIA Certified

Inquire Now 

EMDR is an excellent therapy for treating a variety of issues including, PTSD, sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment insecurity, etc.  Using dual-attention stimulation (back and forth motion) we can help the brain process through traumas and negative beliefs that have gotten stuck over time.  These stuck traumas greatly impact how we view ourselves and the world around us.  Our bodies can carry the impact of the trauma for many years (ie: nervous system dysregulation, increased heartrate, upset stomach, muscle tension, headaches, etc.).  With EMDR, we can help to release the physical stress from the body, while shifting the negative beliefs to a more positive belief.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a modality that teaches we are all made up of parts, kind of like a family.  We all have a ‘true self.’ As we go through difficult life experiences, some parts can get stuck in the trauma and feel burdened.  We call these ‘exiles.’  To help us survive, we develop protective parts called ‘Managers’ and ‘Firefighters.’  We use these parts to help us get through the day and to help us cope.  We will explore your internal system with curiosity and compassion in order to create more unity and peace within the system.

IFS helps us to get to know the various parts of ourselves, unburden the trauma, and allow our ‘true selves’ to lead.
