EMDR THERAPY
You aren’t broken, you’re resilient
Making it through traumatic experiences takes strength, but without support to process what you’ve experienced, you can get stuck in trauma cycles that disrupt your life. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR therapy can give you that support, so you can break the trauma cycles that keep you stuck, and move forward to living a life that is truly fulfilling.

EMDR can help people struggling with anxiety, depression, poor self-confidence and low self-esteem, recent traumatic experiences, generational trauma cycles, communication difficulties, mood and mental health issues, physical symptoms, flashbacks, feeling like a failure as a parent, relationship challenges, and more.
Rebuild trust and open up communication
Vulnerability and trust are sometimes a challenge in relationships. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) for couples helps you and your partner recognize the negative cycles that play out again and again in your relationship. You and your partner will be given a chance to express exactly how you feel, and your therapist will provide you with communication tools to make vulnerability in your relationship easier to access.
As you develop new ways to relate to your partner you’ll build closeness, confidence, and connection, making you a better partner, a better parent, and a better, more open version of yourself.
EFT COUPLES THERAPY
-
EFT couples therapy is for couples facing infidelity, infertility, grief, communication challenges, parenting challenges, relational distress, communication issues, emotional reactivity, trauma, mental health difficulties, and more.
