(WHEN CLINICALLY INDICATED)
There are many ways to approach the issues you bring into counseling. Every therapist has their
own unique style, skill set and way of working with their clients. Some of the methods,
techniques and frameworks I use in my work include:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
A technique that works with your brain to decrease distress rooted in trauma.
