Trauma Recovery - EMDR

Traumatic experiences and distressing events can impact your daily life in sometimes obvious and often unexpected ways. Even if it occurred years ago, one might experience painful emotions, become stuck in unhelpful patterns, and have limiting and negative self-beliefs. EMDR is a highly researched and powerful therapy tool that can transform the effects of these experiences and renew a sense of empowerment and possibility.

Performance Anxiety and Enhancement - EMDR

Performance anxiety is a common issue for many of us. Past events, such as layoffs, receiving criticism, and messing up can impact our ability to reach our performance goals. Even if you do not recall a specific event, but frequently feel inadequate, anxious, and full of self-doubt. The EMDR protocol may be a viable option in helping you enhance your performance.
