Individual Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that helps people heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. When something traumatic happens, your brain sometimes does not fully process it the way it normally would. EMDR helps your brain finish processing those memories so they can feel less intense and more manageable. This is done by focusing on parts of the memory while using eye movements or other forms of rhythmic stimulation, like tapping or sounds.
Pregnancy, childbirth and the first year after a child’s birth is a time of great change in your life. Perhaps you are feeling depressed or anxious and not like you thought you would feel. Maybe your childhood or past trauma is impacting how you feel about parenting. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) affect one out of five women and one out of ten men. If you need a supportive place to share how you are really feeling, therapy can provide you with skills to help you feel more like yourself again.

Whether you are parenting by birth or adoption, the journey is not always easy. If you need strategies on how to manage your toddlers tantrums, use a positive approach to discipline, or connect with your older child, I can guide you in the right direction.
Adoption is a lifelong journey, and challenges can arise along the way. Your teenage child might be struggling with issues related to identity, race or culture. As an adult, perhaps you have decided you want to search and reunite with birth family and need a place to process the feelings related to this. With over twenty years of adoption experience, I can help you navigate these ups and downs.
