As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, I have see many clients find freedom in healing from trauma. Beyond the symptoms of nightmares, flashbacks, and hypervigilence, EMDR focuses treatment on the underlying false lessons learned from trauma. The idea that we are not safe, we are not worthy of love, and other core wounds are uncovered and processes during sessions. I provide a safe space to face the experiences that affect your well being.
