People often come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. Many of these difficulties begin to make more sense when viewed in the context of our experiences, relationships, and personal history. My psychodynamic approach helps clients understand how earlier experiences and long-standing patterns continue to influence their thoughts, emotions, reactions, and relationships today. My goal is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to better understand the patterns behind them so that meaningful and lasting change becomes possible. EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment originally developed for trauma and PTSD. It has also been shown to be effective in treating anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, chronic pain, and other challenges. Sometimes our reactions make perfect sense when viewed in the context of our experiences. EMDR helps people process experiences that may still be influencing how they think, feel, and respond today. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use EMDR when appropriate to help clients address the experiences underlying their symptoms, not simply the symptoms themselves.
