What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to treat trauma, PTSD, and anxiety (though it is helpful for many other issues as well). It uses bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, tapping, or audio tones, while the client focuses on and explores a distressing memory, in order to allow the brain to process and move through the memory adaptively. It mimics what our brains naturally do during REM sleep to sort through and heal the difficult aspects of life, but in a more targeted way. It is a highly effective treatment and often provides relief and meaningful change in a shorter period of time than traditional talk therapy.
What is narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy was developed in conversation with indigenous forms of healing through community and story-telling. It is based on the idea that you are not the problem, the problem is the problem, and often systemic barriers, generational trauma, or other larger issues are impacting your experience deeply. So often, painful experiences, cultural systems, or harmful messages from family/religion/etc. shape the way we see ourselves in a negative way. Together, we’ll look at the stories you’ve been carrying and gently separate your identity from the struggles you’ve faced. From there, we’ll begin untangling and re-working those stories in a way that highlights your strength, resilience, values, and true identity. My role is to help you reclaim your voice and live a more authentic, life-giving story as you move forward.
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach that recognizes how stress, trauma, and emotions live not just in our minds but also in our bodies and our nervous systems. Instead of only talking about experiences, we gently tune into sensations, movement, and breath, in order to help release what’s been held in the body and restore a sense of safety and wholeness. This can be especially healing for people who have experiencedtrauma, anxiety, or identity-related stress, allowing you to feel more grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
Finding the right therapist is important. If you’re looking for someone who is affirming, compassionate, and experienced in working with clients of diverse identities and backgrounds, I may be the right fit. I also offer a free consultation call so you can get a feel for my skill and how I will work with you before scheduling or paying for your first session. And if you decide I’m not the right fit, I’ll help provide you with a number of referrals so that you can find the right therapist for your journey of healing and growth.
Do you work with people outside of Colorado?
Due to licensing laws, I can only see clients who are located in Colorado. On a case-by-case basis I can see some Colorado residents who are located outside the United States, depending on the laws of the country the client is visiting/temporarily residing in. Contact me to learn more.
How do I get started?
The best place to start is by scheduling a free consultation. Book now to get started. Or, if you’d like to learn more first, just head to my contact page to fill out a contact form or to email, text, or call and get a conversation going today. We’ll spend a few minutes talking about what you’re looking for in therapy, and you can decide if it feels right for you.
