Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is a powerfully healing treatment. Originally developed for use in processing trauma, it has been expanded to help people move through many different experiences that hold distress and hopelessness.
I have been practicing EMDR since 2004 and am credentialed as a Certified EMDR therapist through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). This type of healing work has enhanced my practice of psychotherapy enormously and continues to remind me of the healing and transformative power we all have within us.
