From as early as I can remember, I wanted to be a psychologist.
Although I always had an interest in trauma, my passion began to grow when I worked with domestic violence survivors while in college.
Then, before I pursued my doctorate, I had the unique experience of working in a correctional facility and became more knowledgable in the areas of perpetrating domestic violence and aggression.
In my graduate studies, I underwent specialized training in forensic psychology.
All of these experiences reinforced my desire to work with individuals who have experienced trauma.

I strongly believe that a feeling of safety and trust are essential to the process of healing and growth.
Most of my clients have experienced betrayal and no longer feel safe.
Therefore, my priority is to provide a space that feels comfortable and safe, as well as to establish a sense of trust within our relationship.
We often develop beliefs from negative experiences that impact our sense of safety, trust, self-esteem, and control.
These beliefs affect our relationship with others, ourselves, and the world.

Psychotherapy is an effective modality whether you are having difficulties coping with daily life, the impact of trauma, medical illness, loss of a loved one, or a specific mental health issue, like depression or anxiety.
Trauma comes in many forms, from the loss of a loved one to verbal abuse.
Some people who experience trauma are left with emotional scars that prohibit them from fully engaging in life.

EMDR is a type of psychotherapy that was specifically developed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989).
An underlying premise is that the brain does not want to be distressed.
It organically moves toward being positive and neutral.
However, to do so, the limbic system, which is activated during distress, must be calmed so the rest of the brain can perform its natural functions to adequately process a traumatic event.
EMDR therapy consists of eight phases.
In addition to using BLS, EMDR therapy also involves obtaining a thorough clinical history, ensuring clients have adequate coping skills, and developing a treatment plan.
