First, I want to congratulate you on taking this crucial first step. Seeking therapy can be a daunting endeavor. I am here to accompany you on your path. While working with me, I want you to connect with your inner strength and resilience. You are a unique individual, and as such, you are the expert of your life. I want you to set your own goals, so we may build a treatment plan that suits your needs. I consider it an honor to walk beside you and provide you with tools to lighten your journey. I want to empower you as much as possible and allow you to take charge of your recovery. I provide individual counseling for adults and primarily treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, low self-esteem, single traumatic events, and PTSD.

EMDR
If your emotional distress is due to disturbing past life experiences, then Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a good option. Unprocessed memories from the past may get triggered in the present; EMDR allows the brain to process these experiences and get you unstuck from unhealthy patterns in a relatively short time. EMDR is a physiologically based therapy that will help you see disturbing material in a new and less distressing way. There is no need to go into detail about your trauma or distressing memories.
CPT
If you are diagnosed with PTSD, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is another option. CPT is a short-term (12 sessions on average) therapy aimed at teaching you how to think critically about what you have been saying to yourself regarding why the traumatic events happened. This trauma-focused cognitive therapy may force the frontal lobe online, inhibiting the amygdala and extreme emotional responses.
