I often use EMDR in my practice as the feedback and effects of this therapy have been astounding for clients. In our first session, we will explore your goals through my assessment and decide what will fit best for you. I will provide you with a toolbox of coping strategies that you can use for the rest of your life. It's okay not to be okay, but it's not okay to stay there.
