EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that supports individuals in processing and healing from trauma by using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. This method helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences, reducing their emotional impact and promoting adaptive resolution.

Dr. Jones has received training through the Touchstone Institute that integrates EMDR with a specialized focus on perinatal and infant mental health, emphasizing trauma-informed care for parents and young children during the early stages of development.

This approach supports attachment, emotional regulation, and overall family well-being.

A powerful, trauma-focused therapeutic approach that helps clients process and release deeply stored emotional pain and trauma. It works by identifying and processing “brainspots”—specific eye positions that connect to unprocessed trauma or emotional pain. Through this method, clients can access and heal areas of the brain that are often difficult to reach with traditional talk therapy alone.

The benefits of Brainspotting include:

• Targeted Healing: By focusing on specific brainspots, this technique helps to release trauma that may be causing anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles.

• Emotional Regulation: Brainspotting allows for emotional release and regulation, helping individuals feel calmer and more grounded.

• Deep Healing: Unlike surface-level therapies, Brainspotting targets deeper, unconscious memories and emotions, enabling long-lasting transformation.

• Reduced Stress and Trauma Response: It can help alleviate physical and emotional symptoms related to past trauma, such as flashbacks, triggers, and heightened stress levels.

Overall, Brainspotting offers a safe, effective method for healing deep-seated trauma, leading to emotional clarity, peace, and improved mental well-being.

In my practice, I integrate yoga to promote mental and emotional well-being through mindfulness, breathwork, and movement. By combining mindful breathing and physical postures, clients reduce stress, regulate emotions, and improve self-awareness. Yoga helps create a deeper mind-body connection, fostering relaxation, clarity, and emotional balance. The practice also empowers individuals to manage anxiety, trauma, and tension, supporting holistic healing and personal growth. Whether through individual sessions or group classes, yoga is an essential tool for nurturing both mental health and physical well-being in a compassionate, healing environment.
