trauma-informed care & EMDR

Are you struggling through a difficult season in your life?  Feeling stuck, unhappy, anxious or lost?  Are you facing a new challenge such as;

• The loss of a loved one
• Coping with a divorce and coparenting
• A move to a new area
• A job change
• Coping with difficult family relationships
• Caretaking for children, grandchildren and/or aging parents
• Maintaining relationships with teen and young adult children
• Chronic health problems
• Adapting to midlife changes such as perimenopause and menopause.
• Struggles with anxiety, depression
• Wondering about your identity and purpose in life

Some difficult seasons are brief. Others seem to last for a very long time. The one thing we all seem to agree on is that we are ready for a change.

This may be a good time to consider seeking help from a psychotherapist. We can work together to approach this particular difficult season with mindful curiosity. We can explore your own personal history and values for clues about how to move forward in making positive change that feels right for you. 

Sometimes this involves learning new skills, such as how to regulate our emotions or communicate more effectively. Other times it may involve learning to set boundaries, improving self-care or attending to unresolved past trauma. Oftentimes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be a useful tool for moving through places where we feel stuck in our lives, especially due to past traumas.  

Together we can work to find out what is needed for you to move through this season and forward to the next. Therapy is a collaborative process, however ultimately you will need to decide upon and create the change you are seeking. Growth is necessary. It can be awkward and sometimes challenging. That is ok. Together we can find ways for you to become more confident moving through your own changing seasons.
