Buuuuut, if reprocessing stuck memories so you don’t feel the same emotions you feel now when you remember them? That we can work toward. Want to know if EMDR is a good fit for you? Let’s chat.

📣 HUGE NEWS 📣

Beginning September 15th Root and Grow will have a new home!!

325 Angell Street
Providence Rhode Island

Located moments away from Wayland Square and conveniently located within walking distance of the heart of Brown University and RISD’s campuses, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better location for Root and Grow.

325 Angell Street is a Victorian house, with plenty of street parking, and a lovely garden where sessions can take place. I can’t wait to introduce you to this gorgeous space!

If you’ve been waiting to start therapy till there was an option for in person therapy, then circle your calendar, cause September 15th is the day!

Well folks, it’s happened. I’ve been a bit MIA the past two weeks ‘cause I’ve been packing up my life, and driving a U-Haul across country to settle into my new home.

Providence already has been so welcoming and I couldn’t be more sure that this is the perfect place for myself, my family, and Root and Grow.

You can expect some exciting news about a new office location in the next few weeks as things get finalized!

For now, enjoy this photo of my 14 year old pup, Goober. An absolute trooper for coming along on this adventure. I actually considered getting her trained as a therapy dog, but when I got her temperament tested I was told that she was too indifferent toward everyone and that she wouldn’t be much use 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of the most common questions I get. EMDR Therapy isn’t going to erase your memories, instead it impacts the parts of your brain that experience those memories- which means that you will remember with less distress.

What else do you want to learn about EMDR?

When trauma has been a part of your life for as long as you can remember, it can feel impossible to imagine each day without trauma impacting your life.

Sometimes healing can feel scary because it means leaving behind something that was defining to you for so long. While you can never erase what happened, you can build a life that goes far beyond traumas impacts.

You are more than what happened to you.

Did you know that using temperature is a great way to anchor or ground your body? When you feel overwhelmed or at your limit, here are 6 things to use to bring awareness to what your body is feeling.

What do you like to use?

You don’t know your own strength- and I hate that you had to find out just how strong you are.

It’s the bitter-sweetness that comes with trauma recovery. It’s realization that you are whole, and powerful, and good, and capable. It’s also the realization that you know these facts about yourself because you had to move through hurt and violation.

It’s ok to have mixed feelings about strength and resiliency. Some days you may feel like it’s your super power, and other days you may resent it. Let those feelings flow, it’s all part of the process.
