I know that dealing with painful memories can be incredibly challenging. I often use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients with trauma. This technique helps explore the impact of past experiences on emotions and how processing memories can lead to relief. In our first session, we'll discuss why you've come to therapy and find the best ways to support your healing.
