" As much as you try, sometimes you just cant help the way that your body reacts to stress and stressful events. Utilizing EMDR therapy we can teach your body to respond effectively, making life feel more manageable. Whether you have an event or series of events that you know creates a burden or are unsure why, its hard, this therapy may be for you. In addition to hour-long sessions, I offer intensive EMDR for those who prefer to schedule in larger chunks of time. This model allows for more efficient emdr and easier scheduling. Some Sundays are available for intensive EMDR scheduling. Visit my website for more information. ", " I utilize a natural processing approach to EMDR. We spend time understanding how and why your body reacts to situations in the way that it does. We then process this reaction so that you can manage it more effectively. I believe that 80% of our reactions come from our bodys response and 20% from our mental response. ", I am EMDR certified and this is the primary therapy that I use. People who see me appreciate that I am authentic, down to earth and respect their voice. Therapy can be weird or scary for some and I am happy to explain the science and " whys" in order to make it more comfortable. I may say some 4 letter works, or call out the weird, that\s just who I am.
