I've enjoyed working with clients for the past 10 years that I have been counseling. I have been a committed Christian for 25 years, which gives me long-term experience working with Spiritual Issues. I integrate Christian Principles, Scripture, and Prayer into sessions as much or as little as people want, for a more Comprehensive Approach.
What makes me unique is my passion for working with Specialized Issues such as Abuse, Trauma, and Psychosomatic Disorders, that many therapists do not specialize in treating.
Another unique aspect is my use of Specialized Techniques in addition to traditional talk therapy: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) treatment technique and Non-touch Bodywork.
EMDR is a Non-invasive technique that uses the healing process that each of us already has. This process is the REM sleep cycle that enables you to have dreams every night to process what you experienced during the day. I use this same process to target specific issues while the client is awake and fully aware of their environment.
EMDR can be used to treat: Thoughts like: "I'm not good enough" Performance Anxiety Phobias Disturbing Memories Complicated Grief Addictions Trauma Abuse Psychosomatic Disorders (including Chronic Pain) Personality Disorders Dissociative Disorders
