EMDR Therapy
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is highly researched & proven to help treat trauma, anxiety, depression, grief & loss issues, emotional distress, substance abuse, eating disorders, and relationship issues. Basically, we first identify the images, negative thoughts, feelings, and body sensations connected to your past experiences. We then incorporate Bilateral Stimulation (eye movements, tapping, and/or tones) which allows you to reprocess memories by making new and more adaptive connections in the brain. In other words, EMDR helps to quickly unblock your brain’s natural ability to heal.
Virtual Therapy
I am currently providing therapy to individuals on a secure virtual platform. Traditional talk therapy can help you identify maladaptive patterns, target realistic goals, and feel a weight lifted off your shoulders as we collaborate on this process together. Most people choose to meet weekly or bi-weekly, and can be seen anywhere in California. Therapy in your pajamas is so in right now! I've done a lot of car sessions since 2020, too!
Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy can be a great way to get your steps in, feel more comfortable, and get endorphins flowing as you have your therapy session. I provide these sessions local in Orange County. We meet on a public, but hopefully quiet, trail, and spend 40 to 50 minutes walking or hiking while we talk. There is a separate informed consent form to sign, but many find this option nice, especially as the weather permits.
