I offer EMDR and talk therapy for people in ALL stages in life. My passion and training is related to trauma and how it impacts us as human beings living in the world. It can manifest in many ways and symptoms. I am able to help you move through some of the most difficult events in your life.
“There are so many things I want you to know. I want you to know that healing from trauma is possible. I want you to understand how being hurt, how living through trauma, how the difficult act of survival has affected you. I want you to know how all the things you did to survive and protect yourself have saved your life and how they may also now be robbing you of the life you could live. How they could be robbing you of your ability to do the work you want to do in the way you want to do it. How they could be robbing you of your important relationships with the people you love and who love you. And most especially robbing you of a relationship with yourself: of any kindness or compassion toward yourself. I want you to understand this because understanding how trauma has impacted you helps you know why the hard work of healing is worth it.” ~ Gretchen Schmelzer.
