Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps clients reprocess traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and distressing life experiences by activating the brain's natural healing processes. Clients often experience significant symptom reduction in fewer sessions compared to traditional therapy.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting accesses stored trauma through specific eye positions and bilateral stimulation. This innovative technique targets emotional and physical pain stored in the brain's neurobiological structures. By processing these 'brainspots,' clients achieve accelerated healing and resolution of chronic issues that traditional talk therapy might take years to address.
Sex Therapy
Specialized therapy addresses sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues, and relationship dynamics. Using both cognitive-behavioral techniques and mind-body approaches, I help clients overcome performance anxiety, low desire, and trauma-related sexual concerns. The approach integrates neuroplasticity research to rewire negative sexual associations and promote healthy intimacy.
Workshops
Structured 10-session women's sexuality workshops based on Dr. Lonnie Barbach's classic text. These small-group sessions (6-8 participants) combine educational content, group discussion, and homework assignments. The program helps women overcome sexual inhibitions, understand physiology, and develop greater body awareness in a supportive environment.
Trauma Counseling
Comprehensive trauma treatment combines traditional psychotherapy with cutting-edge mind-body techniques. I help clients process childhood trauma, grief, and life transitions using evidence-based modalities that address both psychological and physiological symptoms. The approach emphasizes neuroplasticity's role in transforming limiting beliefs and emotional patterns.
