Hi there, I'm Melissa!
I use EMDR therapy to help clients identify and resolve past experiences or thought patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My goal is to help you clear distressing past material so that you can feel more engaged in life.
My focus
The clients I work with can notice and tolerate their emotions, though they find them distressing and unwanted. They get through daily responsibilities at home, work, or school, but may experience some challenges. For EMDR to be successful, clients need to follow instructions and maintain consistent concentration.
My approach
I use EMDR therapy with all clients. EMDR gradually reduces strong reactions to uncomfortable past material so you may respond more helpfully in the present. It does not require talking in detail about traumas. You simply hold the memory in mind while engaging in bilateral stimulation, which reprocesses dysfunctionally stored memories.
