How many of us have trouble being in our bodies, in the moment, really present? Hard things in life can wreak havoc on us and make it very tough to really show up within ourselves. I am a certified EMDR therapist and this can be a powerful tool to help my clients find their way back to their body, and help their body become a safer place in which to live. Generally, we would have an initial session to get to know each other and then plan for another 4-5 visits to target the pressure points you want to shift and then re -evaluate if you are feeling ready to move on or would like to plan for another round of targetted sessions. I find doing the work-in bite size pieces and seeing how life feels beyond the stickiness (versus staying in therapy for years and not seeing much movement) can be really motivating and exciting!
In addition to working with depression, anxiety, grief and loss and living well through stressful transitions, I have worked with people struggling to feel positively about their eating and body image for most of my career. I want to learn about where you feel strength and personal power, as these are essential parts of helping you create a new way of living. Together we will understand what brings you to turning to or away from food or people, what gets in the way of you feeling you are bringing your best self to relationships, or living your life fully and happily, and help you find new ways to handle tough emotions so you can live your life more free of being caught in a cycle of self/other critical thinking and actions.
