Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.

Are you are seeking a place to authentically explore your identity? Would you like to be able to bring you full self to the therapeutic space? I practice therapy as a means to break down systems of oppression - by coming alongside you as you discover what your path will be. I work primarily with trans/nonbinary adults and adolescents, and I am dedicated to helping anyone explore the spectrums they are on with gentleness, authenticity, and compassion.

I work with clients around topics such as religious and spiritual trauma, old belief systems or fundamentalist systems that have negatively impacted them, trauma, attachment and current dysfunctional patterns that result from past experiences. Often trauma symptoms, anxiety, and depression are a part of this. I enjoy folks who are open to challenging themselves within a safe space and are ready to make connections around how their past is impacting the present.

I work with folks who are trying out new ways of thinking, connecting to their wisdom, and focusing on their healing.
