I have over 30 years of experience helping clients deal with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.  I am a certified EMDR therapist, as well as an EMDR consultant. My specialty is trauma and PTSD.  I have noticed that trauma is often the underlying reason for depression and anxiety symptoms and that EMDR is an extremely effective way of “clearing it out”.

 

Traditional talk therapy deals more on the cognitive level; whereas EMDR helps the client heal on the “affect” level.  EMDR is an experiential therapy, in which the client will relive traumatic moments that they have experienced.  While not every patient wants to relive the trauma they have experienced, it is truly the only way to process it and move on.

 

EMDR will help reframe what has happened and help the client see it in a different way.  It will not erase your experience but, rather, prevent the trauma from ruling your life.

​

The length of treatment will depend on the amount of trauma the patient has experienced.  The length of treatment for a single trauma may be short, whereas multiple traumatic experiences require more time.

​

All treatment plans are tailored to meet the client's individual needs.
