EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is an approach that can help people resolve past trauma or other painful issues.  Francine Shapiro began developing this approach in 1987.  It has been used worldwide.

I trained in EMDR in order to better help people heal from trauma and other difficulties and live more joyful, fulfilled lives.  I initially saw its effectiveness when I used it to help heal my own past trauma.

EMDR typically helps people bring together unresolved, fragmented memories into a cohesive narrative and helps people make sense of their past experiences.  It seems like a very simple technique; however, it can have profound results.

EMDR can be used in brief therapy, especially if you are healing from a single event, or in longer-term therapy if you are healing from multiple traumas.

I was trained by the EMDR Institute, an organization founded by the therapist who developed EMDR.  I am a member of the EMDR International Association.
