EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge. Using structured techniques, EMDR can bring lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain.

For children, I integrate EMDR with play therapy techniques to meet them at their developmental level. Through the use of art, storytelling, movement, and child-friendly tools, I help children process big emotions and difficult experiences in a way that feels safe, natural, and even fun.

This combination allows healing work to happen while honoring how children best express and heal—through play.



IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback (MCN)

A powerful tool to help the brain heal.

The IASIS device and software uses information derived from EEG to deliver imperceptible, but precise electrical impulses to various areas of the brain.  This is known as LIP-tES (low-intensity pulse-based transcranial electrical stimulation).

These impulses disentrain rigid and dysfunctional patterns, allowing the brain to “reboot” and reorganize with more appropriate and flexible patterns.  IASIS is thought to accomplish this by the following mechanisms:

  • Stimulating neurogenesis and neuroplasticity (the ability to make new brain cells and new connections).

  • Enhancing or modulating existing brain cell function.

  • Promoting a more balanced autonomic nervous system (more “rest and digest” than “fight, flight or freeze”).

  • Enhancing the clearance of toxins from the brain (the glymphatic system).
