Originally developed as a treatment for PTSD, EMDR is now used more widely to treat a variety of problems that have origins in difficult experiences that were not adequately processed by the brain, for any number of reasons. EMDR with me can be helpful if:
*You have patterns, difficulties, behaviors or feelings that seem rooted in past experiences
*You love working with your talk therapist, but need to supplement talk therapy with more focused trauma treatment
*You rationally understand why you do the things you do, but haven't been able to change your patterns
*You're ready to work intensely to finally and efficiently resolve your trauma
WHY emdr?

emdr intensives
The unique nature of EMDR therapy makes it possible to move through significant amounts of traumatic material in a short amount of time, allowing the client to work intensively on a specific problem over the course of a few meetings, rather than several weeks or months of traditional weekly hour-long sessions. Not only can EMDR intensives bring quicker relief from symptoms, but they can also be cost effective and more convenient. An EMDR intensive might be helpful if
*You have a specific experience, event, or problem that you would like to address
*It seems difficult to fit weekly therapy into your schedule
*It feels like the perfect time to free yourself of a particular burden created by your past
* You are very interested in EMDR or have done EMDR work in the past but are having a hard time finding an EMDR therapist with availability
