EMDR Therapy / Trauma Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. When something traumatic or deeply stressful happens, the nervous system can get “stuck,” leaving you feeling triggered, anxious, shut down, or constantly on edge—even long after the event has passed. EMDR works by gently activating the brain’s natural healing process so these experiences can be reprocessed and stored in a way that no longer feels overwhelming.  

Rather than focusing on telling your story over and over, EMDR helps you access and resolve the underlying memories, emotions, beliefs, and body sensations that continue to affect you in the present. Many clients notice a reduction in emotional intensity, fewer triggers, and a greater sense of relief, clarity, and self-trust as therapy progresses.  

EMDR can be especially helpful for trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, and negative beliefs such as “I’m not safe,” “I’m not enough,” or “Something is wrong with me.” Sessions move at your pace and are grounded in safety, choice, and collaboration. You remain fully present and in control throughout the process.  

At its core, EMDR isn’t about reliving the past—it’s about freeing yourself from it. This work supports lasting change, allowing you to feel more connected, resilient, and at ease in your body and your life. 

I encourage clients to take an active role in their therapeutic journey, researching EMDR on their own in addition to asking questions and sharing any concerns. If interested, www.EMDRIA.org is a great resource for more detailed information on EMDR.
