EMDR Therapy
You and your body remember too much.
Talk therapy hasn’t helped solve the problem. You’ve gained insight, but some memories still feel like landmines – creating sudden, overwhelming, and hard-to-explain feelings.
You might be coping with trauma, anxiety, grief, or experiences that left you feeling powerless.
Maybe you’re not even sure what “counts” as trauma, but you know something isn’t sitting right.
You’re not alone, and you’re not too much.
EMDR is a therapy that works for trauma.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, research-backed therapy that helps your brain and body process what got stuck. It’s especially effective for trauma, but it’s also used to treat anxiety, panic, phobias, and distressing life events that feel frozen in time.
In your day-to-day life, you might notice the following: flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts; feeling emotionally flooded or numb; avoiding places, people, or situations that feel “unsafe;” a constant sense of being on edge, bracing for something bad; shame, guilt, or self-blame that won’t let go.
These reactions aren’t flaws; they’re survival responses.
EMDR helps you move from reactivity to resolution.
What happens in EMDR?
We don’t relive the trauma. We help your brain finish the story.
EMDR isn’t about talking through every detail of what happened. Instead, we identify the memories, beliefs, and body sensations that are causing distress, and use bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess them.
You’ll stay grounded and supported throughout the process. We’ll build safety tools together before we begin, so you feel confident and in control.
As we work, you may notice the emotional charge around certain memories begins to fade. You’ll start to feel more present, more empowered, and less hijacked by the past.
