EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives offer a faster route to the advantages of EMDR therapy. Instead of weekly sessions spanning months or years, clients can achieve their goals in a matter of days. This accelerated approach allows for the addressing of substantial emotional stressors and promotes quicker healing. EMDR Intensives may range from 3-6 hours or span 1-3 days. To Learn more about intensives, see below.
Counseling for Pastors and Ministers
I offer a secure, confidential, and non-judgmental environment for pastors and ministry leaders to receive the counseling they need. Ministry leaders often suffer from burnout and depression due to neglecting their own needs while caring for others, leading to feelings of isolation. It's common for leaders to think they need to have it all together, yet they face struggles because they are human. Many carry past hurts that continue to impact their current life and relationships. Others grapple with shame over previous decisions. Counseling can relieve some of their burdens, providing a period of healing and rejuvenation. It assists pastors and ministry leaders in staying rejuvenated, prepared, and engaged in their work for the immediate and long-term future. I am here to offer support and a space where you can integrate your faith into the counseling process if you wish. I provide EMDR therapy, which can expedite healing and alleviate symptoms more rapidly than conventional talk therapy. More information on EMDR intensives is available below. Intensives are particularly beneficial for individuals with limited time.
EMDR Group Protocol
Group traumatic episode protocol was developed by Elan Shapiro to assist the natural recovery process of a single traumatic event. It can aid in building resilience if the event is ongoing. It can prevent complications from occurring and interfering in the natural healing process. During Groups, participants will not discuss the traumatic event or distressing memories; however, clients will use bilateral stimulation techniques to address and desensitize persistent psychological,
physiological, and emotional disturbances to allow adaptive functioning. This is a onetime group that meets for 2-2.5 hours. Cost is $75.00 (8 to 10 per group).
EMDR Grief Group

Courage to Tell Creative Arts Workshop
To reduce child trauma, it's crucial to teach children about their value and worth, to equip and empower them to be assertive, and to encourage them to speak up when they are being harmed or violated. Children will acquire effective coping strategies to handle stress, develop skills to boost their self-esteem and enhance future safety. This workshop incorporates expressive arts, enabling children to articulate their feelings through singing, dancing, drama, and art.
