These are direct quotes from my notes with clients. While I have their permission to use them here, I am making sure their identities remain confidential.

From a young man who was deceived by his partner of five years. "I am extremely impressed with the rate of progress that EMDR provided. It blows my mind that I went from one week to the next and then the next with such huge changes in me. I never expected to feel "normal" after what happened. I have learned a lot and in the end, it was the best thing that happened to us."

“I am cleaning up my past, learning communication skills, establishing a different level of emotional intimacy and being conscious. It has become effortless and really easy to stay engaged and really listen. After 18 years we are finally learning what it means to be married and we are seeing a difference in our kids.” Mr. I

“I am not used to feeling this way. I am actually feeling happy. It has been subtle and profound. I used to feel so damaged. I am not a victim anymore. I look forward to living now.” Ms. MA

“It was easier for me to be angry than for me to be vulnerable. Now I can actually express myself and he listens. We are so much closer.” Ms. V

“You helped me get rid of my shame and guilt and I like who I am today. I can ask for what I need.” Mr. P

“It blows my mind that a complete stranger could show me such warmth and compassion.. It is hard to take in when my own family has taken advantage, stolen from me, abused me, lied about me, abandoned me. You gave me hope that I could be cared about and that I actually meant something to someone.” Mr. J

“A whole gang of people at work have seen my changes. I am honoring myself and re-evaluating my future. I feel l ike a normal human being. I am not mean any more.” Mr. C

“For the first time in my whole life I have a mother I can talk to. I finally believe she does care for me.” Ms. M

“I have an honest woman who has cleaned up a lot of her stuff. She was with another therapist for many years and nothing changed. Now it is 1000% different since we have been seeing you. I am healthier too and am a much better boyfriend. We are even talking about marriage and kids.” Mr. M

“EMDR has changed both of us. I am trusting myself and know I have become different. I am not the monster, terrorizing her anymore and she doesn’t have the PTSD symptoms that almost killed her. I am grateful for your help.” Mr. R

"I lost 20 lbs. of shame, guilt and garbage. For the first time, I can actually say I am happy and have grown up." Mr. K

"When I saw you ten years ago, about the death of my child, what I didn't tell you then was that I had been ready to commit suicide - pills, plans, house cleaned - and then I met you. You saved my life. I have since remarried and my new husband tells me to say "Thank you" for him.""
