When you feel on edge, or numb, and can't say why.

You don't have to call it trauma to get help

A lot of people never use the word. They just know they're tired of feeling this way. Hard things that happened, big or small, can stay stuck. They show up as worry, anger, shutting down, or patterns in relationships that don't make sense.

It can be scary to come in and tell a stranger the things we spend a lot of time trying to forget. We go at a pace that feels safe to you, and you stay in charge of what we talk about and when.

How I work

EMDR. EMDR helps people process memories that haven't been fully worked through. It uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or gentle tapping, while we work with a memory and the belief you formed about yourself because of it. I'm EMDR-trained (completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR training). EMDR sessions are in person only, at my Murfreesboro office. In-person sessions are on Tuesdays.

Talk therapy. Not everyone wants EMDR, and that's fine. I also draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Talk therapy sessions can be in person in Murfreesboro on Tuesdays or by video on Wednesdays from anywhere in Tennessee.

More about these approaches on How I work. Want more time in one sitting? Read about EMDR intensives.
