I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy, struggling to change persistent behavioral or thought patterns.
Many of these clients have a history of trauma that remains unresolved, continuing to impact their lives. To address these challenges, I offer intensive two-hour EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) sessions.
EMDR is an evidence-based treatment that helps clients process traumatic experiences and shift negative beliefs. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who have not found relief through conventional therapy.
The frequency and duration of treatment are tailored to each client's specific needs, ensuring a highly personalized and effective approach.
For clients ready to try intensive, focused therapy, this format can lead to significant progress in a relatively short time.
EMDR sessions are private pay/cash only at this time.
If you feel stuck or are looking for a more intensive treatment option, EMDR may be right for you.
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from different treatment approaches.
How does EMDR work?
EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Therapists often use eye movements to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. These eye movements mimic the period of sleep referred to as rapid eye movement or REM sleep, and this portion of sleep is frequently considered to be the time when the mind processes the recent events in the person’s life.
EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories is such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Therapists often use EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect.
