Do you find yourself reacting more strongly than you would want in certain situations? Maybe you don't act on your feelings, but remain uncomfortable in a way that is distressing. Maybe you act in ways you wish you could change, but cannot help yourself. Sometimes, you may even have insight into what is behind your reactions, but keep repeating the same patterns. I have found that EMDR therapy can be very effective in reducing the emotional intensity or reactivity that is sometimes attached to certain interactions, memories or scenarios. Sometimes, a handful of EMDR sessions can be enough to create a significant shift in the way people feel and react.

 I am an experienced psychotherapist, now training to incorporate EMDR into my practice and offering some sliding scale sessions for those who may be interested. I'd be happy to chat on the phone to see if EMDR therapy could be a good fit for you.
