Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing is an evidenced based therapeutic approach that has helped people move through traumatic events. It is also useful in treating any disturbing memory or event that is causing distress. There are many approaches to using EMDR. I use a combination of attachment theory and targeting specific memories in order to move through stuck points that may be facilitating the distress. At times, I will also integrate parts work and ego state into my EMDR interventions.
Relationship dissatisfaction, current/past trauma, and attachment wounds, amongst other things can impact the connection and safety that you feel with your partner. Learning to communicate and listen with those things in mind can be the relationship saving intervention you need. I have training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method however I use a blended technique that helps couples identify the cycle that is causing relationship conflict. From there, I help couples find a way forward that is healing for both partners.
As a Certified Sex Therapist, I offer a safe space to process through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that you may otherwise feel uncomfortable sharing. I treat a myriad of sexual issues including sexual trauma, sexual dissatisfaction, impact of infertility, sexual dysfunction, sexual incompatibility, and general discomfort with sexual behaviors. I am familiar with kink culture, polyamorous relationships, and issues specifically related to LGBTQ+.
