If you have suffered from acute or chronic trauma in your life, you may find yourself feeling stuck, blocked or unable to move forward in your life. You may be encountering symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression, frightening thoughts, painful feelings, fear, helplessness, withdrawal or detachment, lack of concentration, irritability, hyper-vigilance, disturbing dreams, flashbacks and distressing memories.
In order to help you work through and heal trauma, I utilize an integrative psychotherapy approach to trauma which combines talk therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. More in-depth information on EMDR is available from EMDRIA. This approach can help you move out of the trauma loop that seems to be re-creating itself in your mind and body. It can help you heal from trauma in a safe, effective and efficient way and can greatly reduce your symptoms so that you are empowered to move forward in your life.
