EMDR Therapy

An evidence-based approach for trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming stress. You don't have to relive everything to heal from it.

Some experiences don't respond to talking alone. If something still shows up in your body, your reactions, or your relationships years later, EMDR is designed to help you process what got stuck.

What we mean by trauma

Trauma is about what an experience left behind. It can come from something you witnessed, something that happened to you, or something that built up over time. Childhood experiences, relationship wounds, medical trauma, loss: all of it can leave traces.

If an experience still activates you in your thoughts, your body, or your sense of safety, it's worth working with. Even if you're not sure it "counts."

How EMDR works

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or sounds) while you hold a targeted memory in mind. This lets your nervous system process what got frozen in place, which reduces the emotional charge attached to that memory.

You don't have to narrate the event in detail. For many people, it's faster and more direct than talk therapy alone.

What to expect in sessions

Before any processing begins, we spend time on preparation: building a therapeutic foundation, establishing a sense of safety, and making sure you have the internal resources you need. Processing happens within sessions, and we close with stabilization. Sessions don't end in the middle of something unresolved.

I completed EMDR Therapy Training Part I through The Institute for Creative Mindfulness in April 2026, with Part II pending in June 2026.
