EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), focuses on the individual’s present concerns. The EMDR approach believes past emotionally-charged experiences are overly influencing your present emotions, sensations, and thoughts about yourself. As an EMDR trained therapist, I utilize EMDR for trauma and anxiety, especially more severe forms.  I can also use elements of EMDR for relaxation.

​

EMDR processing helps you break through the emotional blocks that are keeping you from living an adaptive, emotionally healthy life.

 

EMDR uses rapid sets of eye movements to help you update disturbing experiences, much like what occurs when we sleep. During sleep, we alternate between regular sleep and REM (rapid eye movement).
