Individual therapy is a setting where Nina meets with a client one-on-one in a private setting. She works to create a safe space in which you can feel comfortable. From there, you can explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviors in order to create new patterns. She works alongside you to co-create goals and achieve your desired change, utilizing your strengths and already-present abilities.

She has experience working with a diverse range of clients and issues, helping individuals address stressors in their lives. She works with clients from a variety of races, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientation, and gender identities. She utilizes research-based interventions, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness. 

Individual Therapy

EMDR is a form of therapy that aims to reduce psychological distress related to traumatic events or negative self-beliefs. When people experience a distressing or traumatic event, their brain stores all of the details of the event in order to prevent that event from recurring. This can cause the individual to be in a state of hyperarousal, anticipating that the event will take place again. It may cause a person to go into a state of fight-or-flight, even if they are not in danger.

Everyone experiences trauma in some capacity. We experience what is called “little t” traumas and “big T” trauma. “Little t” traumas can be something such as the loss of a significant relationship or bullying. “Big T” traumas can include sexual assault or a car accident. In both cases, these events can linger with an individual, causing distress in their current situations.

The purpose of EMDR is to help reduce the emotional and physical response to a stimulus, thought, or memory. In practice, EMDR looks a little different for each person, but the premise is the same for everyone. In the beginning stages, you will focus on your already-available resources. This could include characteristics and tools that you inherently possess or it could include new coping skills that you learn through therapy. The timeline for this stage depends on you and the extent of your trauma.

While going through EMDR, Nina will ask you to bring to mind distressing events and memories. This may cause flashbacks, dreams or other memories to present themselves outside of your session. This is why you will spend time in the beginning stages to make sure you have the appropriate resources to address potentially distressing thoughts. 

As you work with Nina through EMDR, you’ll become able to recall a certain event, be exposed to previous triggers, etc. and not reach the same level of hyperarousal as you once did. Through this intervention, you can create distance between yourself and the trauma.

What are EMDR Intensives?

These are individual sessions that can last anywhere from 2-4 hours in length. Some clients find that several 50-minute sessions are not sufficient to move through a memory or trauma. EMDR Intensives allow an individual to process through their trauma in a compressed manner. Some people find comfort in setting aside half a day from work to primarily focus on moving through a memory or a traumatic event. 

I am a spirited and compassionate clinician. I am able to sit with my clients through the difficult moments, and celebrate their victories. I have worked with a wide variety of populations: individuals with special needs, people with chronic pain, missionaries, and members of the international community. I have lived overseas and love to travel whenever I can. I am constantly looking for ways to challenge myself, be it physically, emotionally, or intellectually.
