I provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are a result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.
