EMDR & IFS therapy · Wilmington, Delaware
There is a will,
and a way, through.
Individualized, trauma-informed psychotherapy for individuals and families. We use EMDR and Internal Family Systems to help your whole brain — not just your conscious mind — resolve what has kept you stuck.
Our approach
Not a one-size-fits-all model. Care shaped around you.
Because your need for support can fluctuate, our services are tailored to your individual needs and goals. We foster a safe environment where you can begin to do “your work” — exploring patterns, facing what has been avoided, and finding greater satisfaction and fulfillment. We tailor therapeutic techniques to suit your personality and goals, and use humor to normalize the symptoms of stress.

Bilateral stimulation to process stuck traumatic memory
