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.
Our clients have often tried "traditional" talk therapy and haven't felt seen, heard, or helped. We believe our clients already have the inner strength and resources to heal themselves and our goal is to help guide them through this process to promote change and healing. Trauma therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach, therefore we treat each client as unique as they are. Together we will work to overcome obstacles and challenges that you are currently experiencing or have experienced.

Being a mom is really freaking hard. It's exhausting and at times it's not even a little bit rewarding. The journey to becoming a mom isn't always easy. I work with people in the perinatal period: preconception, during pregnancy, and in the postpartum period. I also work to support people after abortion, no matter the reason. The clients I work with may be suffering from postpartum anxiety and/or depression, maybe have experienced traumatic births or losses, abortion, or or the baby blues.

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back at you? Do you ever wonder how you went from 0-60? Do you do things in the moment—yell, scream, shut down, pretend like you don’t care—and wish you could take it back? If you are filled with anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, mistrust, and negativity, it will inevitably seep into your relationships with those you love. These parts of us tend to push others away, even though what we most desire is peace & connection.
Online Therapy
Do you wish you could move beyond merely surviving and to thrive in all aspects of your life? Do you want to transform your inner world, replacing self-doubt and fear with confidence and self-compassion? Do you dream of uncovering your true potential and living authentically? Do you want to reclaim your narrative, to rewrite your story from one of struggle to one of resilience and empowerment? Ultimately, do you want a therapist who can walk alongside you on this journey?

So many of us have had to disconnect from our body to survive in some way, whether that be due to difficult experiences, marginalization, relational wounds, or other forms of trauma. Yet, many of us reach a point in our lives where being at war with ourselves is no longer working. You may be noticing that the way you relate to yourself is negatively impacting your health, your life and how you show up in your relationships. Therapy can help heal so you can show up more fully in your life.

Does your anxiety get in the way when you are trying to talk to your partner, co-workers, boss, or clients and feel stuck? When we try to “fix” what is outside of us, inevitably, we will continue to feel stuck. When we try to look within ourselves; our emotions, thoughts, or prejudgments based on our beliefs or assumptions, we may challenge ourselves and ask what we believe is true. I hope you are willing to challenge yourself by examining your unquestioned mind. In-Network-VA, Out of network-FL

As a psychotherapist, my ideal client would be someone who is open-minded and receptive to a myriad of therapeutic approaches. I have a strong foundation in psychotherapy, having completed my MSW from the University of North Dakota in 2018 and further expanding my knowledge through additional training at the Integrative Psychiatric Institute in Boulder, Colorado. My experience in working within primary care and various health settings adds to my versatility.

Are you feeling anxious, struggling to follow your dreams or having difficulties in your relationships with others? Are you struggling with the impact of past traumatic experiences? If so, therapy can be helpful! My approach centers on fostering connection and healing. I prioritize a trauma-informed perspective, shifting the question from 'what's wrong with you?' to 'what happened to you?'. This approach is particularly empowering for trauma survivors, who may have received multiple diagnoses.

I'd be happy to talk with you to see if we would be a good fit for one another. Finding someone you are comfortable with is the most important aspect of successful therapy.
