EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR therapy is a highly researched, globally accepted psychotherapy. It is a leading-edge way to stimulate brain changes. It’s known as an effective PTSD and trauma treatment, but it is used for many other symptoms and conditions as well.

Brain changes must occur whether you are repairing trauma damage, developing relationship skills, or enhancing work or sports performance. EMDR combines the best of what we know about making deep changes in the brain with the quality connection of a compassionate, non-judgmental therapist.

My Training

I have two decades of experience providing EMDR therapy to clients seeking profound change. My first training was with Dr. Francine Shapiro at the EMDR Institute 20 years ago. I am now certified in EMDR and an Approved Consultant for certifying other therapists. I have been a member of the EMDR professional organization for 20 years. We are a network of therapists in more than 50 countries.
