Counseling fees may vary by the type of services being provided. Please contact me to discuss the fees.

This is not a simple question to answer. It really depends on the severity of problems the client has, how long the problem has existed, and the commitment level of the client (whether the client attends sessions regularly and makes an earnest effort to do homework between the sessions).
Most of my clients come once a week for sessions lasting 45-50 minutes. The length of time in treatment varies according to the severity of the presenting problem and the particular goals an individual wants to attain. We will discuss this during our initial visit.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy based on the idea that negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors are the result of unprocessed memories. EMDR is proven to be immensely helpful with traumas.
