Answers to things you’d like to know
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprossessing. It is a technique that helps your body to reprocess memories so that you are desensitized and less emotionally vulnerable to those memories. It has been proven effective with PSTD and more studies are showing how it can work to improve many other problems including anxiety, depression, and addiction.

Do you take insurance?
I am able to work with OHP for Open Card and Care Oregon/HealthShare. I can also work with your insurance if they accept out of network providers or this is a claim for an auto accident. I also accept private pay on a slding scale from $150 – $80.
How do I know you are the right counselor for me?
