What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a form of therapy specifically developed to help reprocess the memories of these past traumatic experiences and help us store them in our memory in a more healthy or adaptive way. The negative beliefs associated with these experiences can be reframed to more positive thoughts about self. If you feel like there are events in your past that continue to affect how you are perceiving relationships or activities in a negative way, EMDR may be the way to finally move on from what feels like is keeping you stuck in your past!

The more Jack has worked with people, the more a simple truth has come to light: You are not alone!
Jack believes that success in therapy results from a combination of understanding first what is dysfunctional, then where the dysfunction comes from. Finally, changing a behavior resulting from the thoughts or emotions driving the dysfunction can result in truly powerful changes in life. He mainly uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy, EDMR, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help attain the goals of his clients. Through these techniques, Jack enters into relationship with his clients and gets to understand and hear their full story, providing a safe environment for vulnerability.
