EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, science-backed therapy designed to help people heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing memories—often faster than traditional talk therapy.
How EMDR Works:
🔹 Reprocesses Traumatic Memories – EMDR helps your brain “unstick” from painful memories so they no longer trigger distress.
🔹 Uses Bilateral Stimulation – Through guided eye movements or tapping, EMDR allows your brain to process trauma naturally—similar to how REM sleep helps us heal.
🔹 Reduces Emotional Intensity – Instead of reliving trauma, you’ll be able to remember past events without the overwhelming emotions.
Why Choose EMDR Therapy?
✅ Recognized by the American Psychological Association & WHO for PTSD treatment
✅ Faster results than traditional talk therapy for many people
✅ Effective for PTSD, anxiety, phobias, grief, and more
You don’t have to stay stuck in the past. EMDR helps your brain heal so you can move forward with confidence. Free 15-minute session via phone or videocall. Reserve online here.

CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, effective approach to overcoming anxiety, PTSD, depression, and negative thought patterns. A more traditional talk therapy approach, CBT focuses on practical solutions—helping you identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with healthier, more constructive ones.
How CBT Works:
🔹 Identifies Negative Thought Patterns – Learn to recognize self-defeating beliefs that contribute to stress and anxiety.
🔹 Teaches Coping Strategies – Gain practical tools to manage emotions, reduce stress, and break free from unhelpful habits.
🔹 Creates Lasting Change – Instead of just talking about problems, CBT helps you rewire your thinking for long-term relief.
Why Choose CBT?
✅Backed by decades of scientific research
✅Works well for anxiety, PTSD, depression, and stress
✅Focuses on real, measurable progress—often in weeks, not years
If you’re feeling stuck in negative thoughts, CBT can help you take control and move forward.
