Specializing in clients who have faced trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, crisis pregnancy, infertility, and adoption, Eileen takes a strengths-based approach in her practice. With a diverse array of treatment modalities, she supports her clients in gaining valuable insight into how their thoughts and emotions shape their behaviors, and how their past experiences can impact the present and future. Eileen utilizes trauma-sensitive care through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful psychotherapy that allows individuals to heal from the emotional distress associated with disturbing life events. Research indicates that EMDR can significantly accelerate the benefits typically associated with psychotherapy, often reducing what once took years into a much shorter timeframe. Having personally experienced the transformative effects of EMDR, Eileen pursued further training to ensure she can offer this powerful tool for healing to her clients.
