Heart-Centered Therapy

Thank You for Your Presence!

In my therapy practice, I integrate EMDR therapy for trauma reprocessing and invite an eclectic blend of humanistic modalities, dream therapy, yoga practices, and Buddhist philosophy for mindful observation, self-awareness, compassion, and authentic living.

From a place of heart-centeredness, I help guide clients through paths of transformational healing, insight, deeper inner connection, self-compassion, self-worth, higher awareness, clarity, and authentic living.

Therapeutic Approach

EMDR Therapy

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a unique healing tool that contains many transformational phases and processes.

Originally developed by Francine Shapiro, PhD., EMDR therapy helps relieve suffering from stuck traumatic memories, transform negative beliefs, and reduce physical stress. The disturbing memories are accessed in brief doses while simultaneously undertaking bilateral movements, such as eye movements or tapping. Stuck traumatic memories are processed, while simultaneously focusing on the bilateral movements, the external stimulation, in the present moment. Negative beliefs are transformed by integrating new associations for information processing.

EMDR therapy helps facilitate and enhance information processing in the memory network, and with new associations, it helps process traumatic memories with more adaptive information, resulting in the development of more complete processing, with reduced emotional and physical distress, new learning, and higher insight.
