Frequently Asked Questions
What is EMDR therapy and how does it help?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps your brain process painful or overwhelming experiences. Instead of feeling stuck or triggered, many people begin to feel calmer, more in control, and less overwhelmed by the past.
Do I have to talk about everything that happened?
No. You are always in control of what you share. EMDR does not require you to go into every detail. We move at your pace and focus on helping you feel safe throughout the process.
What issues do you help with?
I work with adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. This includes childhood trauma, military trauma, and recovery from unhealthy or abusive relationships. I also help with shame, negative thoughts, and feeling stuck or disconnected.
Do you work with veterans or military families?
Yes. As a Marine Corps Veteran, I understand military culture and the challenges that can come with both service and transitioning to civilian life. I provide a supportive space for veterans to process trauma and adjust to life after service.
Do you work with single mothers?
Yes. I support single mothers who may be carrying stress, trauma, and the pressure of doing everything on their own. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to hold it all together.
How long does therapy take?
Everyone’s process is different. Some clients begin to feel relief in a few sessions, while others choose to work together longer. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’d like support with.
How do I get started?
You can reach out to schedule a consultation or first session. We’ll take it one step at a time.
