Counseling Approach
Utilizing an interpersonal and internal family systems approach that believes relationships are restorative in and of themselves, often the root of the problem is in faulty relational experiences and / or our interpretation of them. Treatment will also utilize many Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness strategies in treatment, especially the tapping cure.
I am a trained EMDR treatment provider. EMDR helps people heal from trauma, not just cope with it. Trauma is not just for war veterans or fire fighters. You may get relief from past frustrations / irritations and or stumbling blocks that are holding you back in your life as well. One teenager called me a modern day dragon slayer for helping him overcome his personal demons. I have also helped people be able to drive again after car accidents and helped people be able to have the courage to face family members after being hurt physically or emotionally by them. What have you got to lose other than the pain you have been carrying? I have found that IFS works especially well with EMDR, but if a person does not want to use EMDR, IFS is another highly effective way to help people overcome pain, frustration, and hurt in their life in and of its own right.
