Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a well-researched and highly effective approach designed to help individuals recover from trauma and distressing life experiences. This includes conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. By utilizing EMDR, I can assist you in addressing emotional wounds more swiftly. This technique helps to unblock negative memories and create new, positive associations, paving the way for healing.

My approach enhances communication, emotional connection, and understanding of personality dynamics. Incorporating the Gottman Method, I provide tools to improve emotional intimacy, recognize bids for connection, and manage conflicts effectively. Many couples seek counseling to rebuild their connection amid resentment or distance. Together, we’ll explore times when your relationship felt stronger, identify changes, and foster empathy. I create a safe space to break unhelpful patterns.

Understanding attachment is essential for navigating our relationships with ourselves and those around us. Our connections with caregivers, friends, and romantic partners significantly shape how we interact. Often, we develop protective patterns in these relationships that shape our behaviors. Through exploring attachment theory, we can identify these patterns and help you distinguish which are beneficial and which are not, resulting in deeper emotional connections.

I understand that relationship challenges can often stem from past traumas or adversity. In our work together, I’ll help you recognize the patterns and habits that influence your daily interactions with yourself and those you love. By gaining awareness of how these habits affect your thoughts and feelings, we can foster greater compassion and acceptance.

I approach low self-esteem through an attachment-focused lens. This involves gently reflecting on your past experiences, as early relationships often significantly shape your self-image. Together, we'll examine your inner dialogues and early beliefs that may lead to negative self-views. This exploration process can help you identify how you might be critical of yourself. With this newfound self-awareness, we can focus on transforming your self-talk into something more compassionate and kind.

Anxiety is frequently associated with feelings of shame, failure, and diminished self-worth. My relational and attachment-based approach supports clients in understanding the source of their anxiety and recognizing their patterns and triggers while also helping them develop coping strategies to restore balance and promote healing.
