EMDR

EMDR

IMG_0598Many times, we know the “right” answer to a problem, but our feelings do not match what we know to be true. The therapeutic approaches I use are designed to heal the heart and not just the mind. This process creates a lasting solution – a solid foundation. One of the most effective methods that I have found that accomplishes a deep and lasting healing, set on a solid foundation, is EMDR.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and other issues. To date, EMDR has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.

I have been providing EMDR for several years now and my clientele have found great relief from past and recent trauma, and from problems in the following areas: relationships, overall mood, school and work performance, behavioral problems, eating disorders, panic attacks, performance anxiety, complicated grief, stress, dissociative disorders, addictions, disturbing memories, sexual and/or physical abuse, phobias, and pain disorders.

If you would like to find out if this method would help you overcome upsetting memories and negative beliefs about yourself, please contact me today to set up a consultation and assessment. Together we will work to help you experience freedom in your life!

 

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety Facts

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric condition affecting children and adults. An estimated 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Only about one-third of those suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment, even though the disorders are highly treatable.

Did You Know?

  • Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older (18% of U.S. population).
  • Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only about one-third of those suffering receive treatment.
  • People with an anxiety disorder are three to five times more likely to go to the doctor than those who do not suffer from anxiety disorders. This is because people with anxiety disorders often experience symptoms that mimic physical illnesses.
  • Anxiety disorders develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.
