Therapy Approaches

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy can be incorporated to heal the symptoms of trauma, stuck memories, negative self beliefs, and maladaptive life patterns. Eventually, EMDR can lead us to feeling like we are finally living in the present instead of the past.

I have an EMDR Basic 1 & 2 certificate and have also taken EMDR 2.0 and EMDR Flash trainings in order to ensure EMDR is geared to individual needs.
