A Bit About Therapy
I am well versed in several therapeutic treatment approaches, however EMDR ( Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is my primary therapy approach. EMDR is a trauma focused, and Person Centered mode of therapy. In the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
