Services & Approach
Targeting the root causes of trauma and relationship patterns through specialized, evidence-based therapies.
EMDR in healing of complex trauma and Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps you process and heal from painful experiences. If you have been affected by narcissistic abuse—such as manipulation, invalidation, or emotional control—EMDR offers a structured way for you to address difficult memories and the lasting impact of these relationships. During EMDR sessions, you focus on distressing events while engaging in bilateral stimulation, like following the light on your screen, tapping on your body, or listening to alternating sounds. This process helps your brain reprocess memories so they don’t feel as overwhelming or intrusive. Over time, you may notice less emotional distress, improved self-worth, and greater clarity about your experiences. EMDR is especially helpful if you feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt or struggle with trust and boundaries because of past abuse.
Ego State Therapy and the Developmental Need Meeting Strategy in Trauma Treatment
Ego State Therapy is based on the idea that you have different “parts” or aspects of yourself, shaped by your life experiences. Trauma can cause these parts to feel fragmented or conflicted, leading to inner turmoil or disconnection. The Developmental Need Meeting Strategy (DNMS) builds on this by helping you identify parts of yourself that missed out on important emotional needs during childhood—like nurturing, protection, or affirmation. Through guided imagery and dialogue, we help you learn to support and care for these wounded parts, encouraging integration and healing. This process can help resolve lingering feelings of shame, insecurity, or self-criticism, and support you in developing a more cohesive sense of self. Ego State Therapy and DNMS are especially valuable if you have complex trauma, as they gently address the roots of emotional pain and promote lasting change.
Hypnotherapy as a Gentle, Empowering Approach to Trauma Recovery
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet effective way for you to address trauma by guiding you into a state of focused attention and relaxation. Drawing on Douglas Flemons’ work, we describe hypnosis as a natural state of focused attention —similar to being deeply absorbed in your favorite book or music. In this state, your mind is open to positive suggestions and new perspectives, but you always remain in control. Hypnotherapy is particularly helpful if you’re struggling with trauma bonds or unhealthy attachment patterns. It allows you to explore and reframe your experiences, access inner resources, and strengthen your sense of autonomy. Through imagery, anchoring, and structured guidance, hypnotherapy supports gentle healing and personal growth.
