EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
This type of therapy utilizes dual attention and/or bilateral stimulation or movements to help people process distressing experiences. It has been found effective for a variety of symptoms and diagnoses. In my experience, it has been a helpful tool and is the primary modality I use. It allows you to access information stored from stressful experiences (sensations, emotions, urges, beliefs about yourself, etc.) and connect to new information and resources. My clients have shared that they often feel "unstuck" or that the memory is now in the past.

IFS (Internal Family Systems)
If you have heard of parts work therapy or ego state therapy, likely it was a reference to a number of treatment approaches that honor a person as a collection of parts of self. These parts are shaped by our experiences and often carry different viewpoints, roles, and needs. In therapy, we work to understand all of our parts and free them from the burden and wounds they may be carrying. If you have experienced an enduring trauma, that lasted a longer amount of time, you may have parts of self that were shaped by these experiences and need help healing. This type of therapy is also helpful for working through internal conflicts.

DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy)
This therapeutic toolbox pairs with EMDR to help clients repair wounds from relational trauma. Maybe you had all of your basic needs met but there were no adults in your life that felt understanding or loving, or you experienced wounding in your most trusted relationships. It is never too late for you to seek feelings of security and safety. I blend this approach with my training and background in child development and attachment theories; to help my clients engage in meaningful mending of these wounds in their life today.
