EMDR Therapy
I'm proud to have completed the rigorous process of earning certification in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy. EMDR can be an effective part of treatment when working on past experiences that continue to negatively impact you today. I'll take time to listen to your concerns and develop a treatment plan with you. If you decide to participate in EMDR, we'll work to strengthen your positive resources, help you deal effectively with upsetting past-related “triggers,” and feel more positive about the future. Part of the EMDR process involves what is called “bilateral stimulation.” In this process, you will think of an issue you've chosen to work on and, at the same time, pay attention to bilateral stimulation, like visually tracking an object moving side-to-side or holding sensors that will lightly vibrate alternately. This process is designed to help you work on distressing material so it won’t upset you as much and help you to feel more comfortable in the present. EMDR can be useful in treating phobias, chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and other concerns.
I offer EMDR therapy in Little Rock, AR.
Effective and Proven Therapies
My practice involves more than just talking about problems. I specialize in providing treatments proven to be effective in significantly reducing or eliminated particular symptoms. I provide Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also use a Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS) to help prepare clients for EMDR. Proven therapies help individuals reach their wellness goals so they can move forward in their lives.
Focused Brief Pain Treatment Program
Chronic Pain
I work with individuals who experience chronic pain (from CRPS, fibromyalgia, headaches, cancer, etc). My own experience with chronic pain led me to dive into pain research & how the brain processes pain. Treatment involves providing proven therapy to reduce neuroplastic pain, allieviate anxiety about pain, help you focus on living a life based on what matters most to you, & more. This is an 8-session program.
