Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy to heal painful and traumatic events that are disrupting your life and relationships.
EMDR Therapy
Break free from the hold painful and traumatic experiences have on your life...
Trauma is a spectrum. It doesn't matter whether you have had a major traumatic event, you've experienced smaller relational traumas, or you have painful memories that are haunting you. These memories can keep you stuck in the past and can interfere with your ability to have the life you want.
Experiences that threaten our sense of safety and connection are stored differently in the brain and become part of our body's safety response system. Based on previous experiences, our brain unconsciously searches for situations that mirror previous dangers and activates a protective response, creating involuntary symptoms in our body and triggering us to react to things more strongly than is warranted for the situation. As a result of these experiences, you may harbor negative feelings about yourself or others that keep you trapped and prevent you from engaging meaningfully in relationships. You can have emotional freedom from these experiences. It’s time to heal and take back control of your life!
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy that utilizes the natural inclination of the mind and to work toward healing to process painful and traumatic experiences so that they can be stored more adaptively in the brain and stop interfering with your life. Dual attention stimulus (tapping, eye movements, etc.) allows a client to remain grounded while the mind and body are stimulated to process the event at the root level. It can be a transformative means of healing trauma, PTSD, recurrent childhood traumas, or overcoming painful experiences so that you can experience emotional freedom and live a happier, fuller life.

Although EMDR is considered a short therapy, there is no way to guarantee the length of time needed for treatment. EMDR isn’t right for everyone and it may require stabilization and other preparatory work. Depending on your circumstances and the extent of the trauma, it can take time to process your experiences. I’d love to set up a consultation to discuss whether EMDR is right for you.
