Together we will discuss your goals for therapy and I will give you tools that you can use between sessions, to start reducing your symptoms. I want my clients to feel a reduction in symptoms as soon as possible, so that you can begin to feel better quickly. EMDR can reduce symptoms much quicker than talk therapy alone.
