WHAT IS EMDR?
EMDR or Eye movement desensitization reprocessing, is an evidence-based therapeutic modality developed by Francine Shapiro. EMDR therapy is based on the idea that negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are the result with unprocessed memories. Therapists utilize audio tones, tactile tappers. and/or self-tapping to activate bilateral stimulation (stimulating one side of the brain at a time). Please see the Resources section for links and more information on EMDR.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR ME IS?
Something we say a lot as therapists is the phase, "it depends". That being said we will co-create and collaborate on your treatment to address your specific goals. There is no 'one size fits all' approach to therapy. I take great pride in tailoring therapeutic modalities as needed to fully engage and support my clients.
