EMDR Therapy
Everyone faces difficult times, but for some, the effects of trauma and anxiety can become overwhelming. EMDR Therapy can help.
Trauma is more than just a challenging experience. It can reside deep within your core and significantly impact your emotional and physical state, affecting your ability to live the life you desire. Various life events can trigger trauma responses, such as significant changes like a serious accident, the loss of a loved one, or experiencing violence. Relationship struggles or conflicts with those close to you can also provoke intense feelings of distress. You may have a predisposition to stronger emotional responses due to genetic or environmental factors. Additionally, the cumulative impact of various stressors can become overwhelming, exacerbating feelings of anxiety and emotional pain.
Our professional EMDR therapist has extensive education, experience, and training. You can find more information about her below. It’s important to us that you find someone who you truly connect with, so we offer free consultations to help you get a sense of whether we might be the right fit for you.

I struggle with feelings of fear and anxiety even over minor issues.
I feel disconnected from my emotions and the world around me.
