Past events influence the way that you think, act, and behave today. Sometimes this can lead to negative patterns or feelings that can prevent you from living life the way you'd like to. EMDR can help address past events to help reshape the way you think and feel today. With EMDR, you don't need to go into extensive detail about the past. We will use a structured format to create a specific plan for working through your challenges in an efficient and strategic manner.

Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and have a big impact on mental and physical health. By examining this connection and creating a strategy for making deliberate changes, we can help restructure your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a way that aligns with your goals.

Men have a lot on their plates.

Transitions of all sorts can bring about high levels of stress, uncertainty, and anxiety. It's scary to navigate new things alone.

While change is often scary, you don't have to face it alone.
