I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy designed to help process trauma, distress, and difficult life experiences. 

EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity. Instead of erasing the memory, EMDR allows clients to revisit past events without being overwhelmed by them. This process often leads to a greater sense of calm, improved perspective, and reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions typically involve recalling aspects of a troubling memory while also engaging in bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds). This creates new connections in the brain, helping clients move from being “stuck” in trauma responses toward healing and resolution.

EMDR can be helpful for:

• Traumatic experiences (e.g., accidents, abuse, medical trauma, sudden loss)

• Ongoing or cumulative stress (e.g., bullying, invalidation, workplace harm)

• Phobias, panic, and persistent fears

• Self-esteem wounds and negative self-beliefs

• Distress linked to chronic illness or health challenges

Clients often describe EMDR as a therapy that helps them finally “unpack” the weight of past experiences and step forward with greater clarity and resilience.
