EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (https://www.emdria.org)

EMDR is a powerful and effective psychotherapy. While it is a first line treatment for trauma and PTSD, it is also highly effective for a number of concerns including anxiety, phobias, complicated grief, dissociative disorders, chronic pain, addictions, body dysmorphia, and stress reduction.

EMDR seems to have a direct effect on the way that the brain processes information and memories by helping individuals develop new and more adaptive thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. EMDR can be thought of as a physiologically-based therapy that can help a person experience disturbing material in a new and less distressing way.

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Danielle provides consultation services for those seeking hours towards EMDR certification, and on-going case consultation as needed.

Dance/Movement Therapy and Living The Body

Sometimes words are not enough. The body holds and remembers experiences, feelings, and sensations that the mind may not be fully aware of. By working with music, breath, movement, and dance we are able to attend to the intersection of the body and the mind, the conscious and the unconscious - what Danielle calls the bodymind continuum. Dance/movement therapy engages this continuum to cultivate awareness, exploration, discovery, and integration of the self.

Dance/movement therapy  recognizes that dance is a powerful form of communication, and as a creative process, it can access our innate capacity to heal. Dance/movement therapy helps us to be truly present and aware, feeling at home in our own skin. It encourages the development and expression of an authentic, embodied self, and honest connection to others.
