EMDR
The past is running your present.
Trauma can be obvious – childhood sexual abuse, military combat, a car accident, being a crime victim, or having someone close to you die.
Or less obvious – growing up with a parent who is persistently negative or experiencing repeated setbacks (such as job losses or the end of relationships).
If trauma isn’t processed, it can throw shade on our present. We may go to great lengths to avoid uncomfortable emotions – seeking refuge in drugs, alcohol, food, shopping, or unhealthy relationships. Feeling intense rage, shame, or being easily startled, we may feel like we are living on the edge of sanity.
EMDR can help you see things differently.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most extensively researched and effective forms of therapy available to help people recover from trauma and other problems that cause emotional stress. It has many applications.
Through EMDR, I guide you through a process that allows your nervous system to heal itself.
“EMDR is designated as an effective treatment by the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and many other international health agencies. This powerful psychotherapy approach has helped over an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress.”

Put your past behind you.
Of course, we would need to determine if EMDR is the right approach for you.
When it is appropriate, I have been amazed at how this unique form of therapy has helped my clients process a variety of problems that have been getting in their way, including unresolved grief, anxiety, depression, and painful memories of abuse and trauma.
