Have questions about trauma therapy?

Q&A

  • I utilize a treatment method called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat trauma. This therapy is very structured and includes building coping skills, creating a list of bothersome trauma memories, and desensitizing them using eye-movements or tapping. It is very effective at reducing the frequency, intensity, and duration of trauma symptoms.

  • If you have experienced a traumatic incident (think scary, overwhelming, or life-threatening) and have symptoms like intrusive memories of the trauma, avoidance of trauma reminders, or hypervigilance, trauma therapy is likely right for you.

  • To learn more about the process of EMDR therapy, watch this short video.
