EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro to help people process and recover from distressing or traumatic experiences. EMDR is widely recognized as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and has also been shown to help with anxiety, grief, and other difficulties related to unresolved life experiences.Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming and more fully integrated. While every person's experience is unique, many clients find that memories lose their intensity, allowing them to move forward with greater resilience and emotional freedom.

 

I completed my EMDR Basic Training through the EMDR Institute, the training organization founded by Dr. Francine Shapiro, and integrate EMDR within a compassionate, individualized approach to therapy. My work is also informed by years of providing trauma-informed care in a variety of clinical settings, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where I worked extensively with individuals recovering from trauma and other complex mental health concerns.If you're wondering whether EMDR may be a good fit for your goals, I'm happy to discuss it with you during an initial consultation.
