Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

It uses bilateral stimulation (most commonly eye movements) while you recall a disturbing memory, helping your brain process the experience and reduce its negative emotional impact.

I had the pleasure of working with Brooke. She was the best therapist I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Brooke is calm, sweet and thoughtful. She listens with intent and always asks the right question. I have learned a tremendous amount about myself and many tools on how to cope with my anxiety, stress, and depression. I would stay with her forever if I could, but my insurance didn't allow that to be so. If you are looking for an intelligent and kind soul to guide you through tough times, Brooke is your girl. - Chelsea C.

It was an absolute blessing to work with Brooke and the results were nothing less than amazing. I've done talk therapy before in the past with good results, but effect with EMDR was life altering and game changing. She was easy to talk to, brought keen insights, and will definitely be using her services in the future. I will strongly recommend her to anyone. - Edmond P.
