EMDR therapy
With EMDR, you’re not just surviving your story—you’re rewriting how it lives inside you.
A powerful, science-backed therapy that goes beyond talk therapy to rewire painful memories and restore emotional balance.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, therapy is a powerful, research-backed approach that helps your brain heal from overwhelming experiences so you can finally feel like yourself again. Instead of spending years talking through the same painful memories, EMDR gently guides you through a structured process that helps your mind reprocess what happened, reduce emotional intensity, and create new, more empowering beliefs about yourself. Clients often describe EMDR as feeling surprisingly natural—your brain does the work, and I’m there to support you every step of the way. Whether you're carrying the weight of trauma, stress, or stuck patterns, EMDR offers a path toward clarity, relief, and lasting change.
EMDR Therapy is right for you if:
You feel stuck in patterns, reactions, or emotions that don’t match who you want to be.
Past experiences still trigger strong feelings, even if you think you “should be over it.”
You’ve tried talk therapy but want a deeper, more targeted approach to healing.
You struggle with anxiety, trauma, or stress that shows up in your body and mind.
You’re ready to process painful memories without having to relive every detail.
You want a therapy that is structured, effective, and backed by strong research.
You’re looking for lasting change—not just coping skills.
You want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life again.
While EMDR is a core part of my trauma work, I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and other body-based and parts-focused therapies. These approaches help us explore your internal world, support your nervous system, and gently process painful experiences without overwhelming you.
EMDR Therapy can help you:
Process and heal from traumatic or overwhelming experiences
Reduce distressing emotions, memories, and physical reactions
Feel more grounded, safe, and in control
Shift unhelpful beliefs about yourself formed during difficult experiences
Strengthen your ability to cope with stress and emotional triggers
Improve confidence, self-compassion, and resilience
Move forward without being held back by the past
Frequently asked questions about EMDR therapy
-
EMDR helps the brain “unstick” memories that were stored during times of stress or trauma. By activating both sides of the brain, EMDR allows you to process these memories more fully, reducing emotional and physical reactions.
-
EMDR can help with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, grief, phobias, attachment wounds, and negative self-beliefs. It’s also effective for ongoing stress and experiences that feel “stuck.”
-
We’ll begin by building a strong foundation—getting to know your story, creating safety, and practicing coping skills that support you. When you feel ready, we’ll gently process specific memories or beliefs using bilateral stimulation, with me guiding you and helping you stay grounded throughout the process.
-
Not necessarily. One benefit of EMDR is that you don’t have to go into full detail for it to be effective. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
-
Everyone is different. Some people notice changes quickly, while others need more time to build safety and process deeper layers. EMDR is structured, but it moves at the pace that feels right for you.
-
Yes, EMDR is evidence-based and widely recognized as safe and effective. Sessions are always paced with care to avoid overwhelming you, and grounding skills are built in to support your emotional safety.
-
EMDR may bring up emotions or body sensations connected to past experiences, but the goal is to process them gently—not relive them. Your therapist will guide the process to keep you within a tolerable window of safety.
-
After a session, you might feel lighter, tired, reflective, or a bit emotionally stirred as your brain continues to process. This is completely normal. We will work together to help you have grounding tools and strategies to help you stay steady and supported between sessions.
-
No. While it’s best known for trauma work, EMDR also helps with anxiety, self-worth, chronic stress, relationship patterns, and other emotional concerns that come from earlier experiences.
