PsyA-EMDR

  • PsyA-EMDR is a specialized form of therapy that combines the principles of EMDR with the understanding of the AIP model and the use of psychedelic substances. It is a unique and innovative approach that aims to help clients process and integrate past traumas and negative experiences in a safe and supported environment.

  • PsyA-EMDR can be beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma or difficult life events that continue to impact their daily lives. This therapy can also be helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues that may originate from unprocessed memories. Additionally, PsyA-EMDR can support individuals who have undergone psychedelic treatments and are seeking further integration and processing of their experiences.

  • As the only certified PsyA-EMDR practitioner in the state of Iowa, I have extensive training and experience in EMDR therapy as well as training in KAP. This unique combination of expertise allows me to provide a comprehensive and effective approach to healing and integration. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space for my clients to process and integrate their experiences, and I am passionate about helping them achieve lasting positive change in their lives.
