Is anxiety or depression taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective? Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?

- I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
- I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
- I hate who I am these days.
- I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
- I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
- My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.

If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. Research shows that EMDR is an effective modality for treating many different forms of depression & anxiety including PTSD, general anxiety disorder and OCD. Studies have even shown that EMDR can be a more effective treatment than talk therapies like CBT for decreasing depression & anxiety.
