Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a transformative therapy that helps people recover from difficult or overwhelming experiences. If something painful from your past still feels fresh or weighs you down, EMDR can help you move forward with a sense of peace.

What makes EMDR unique is that it goes beyond just talking about your experiences. It uses techniques like following a therapist’s hand movements with your eyes or gentle tapping to help your brain process memories in a new way. Think of it as helping your mind "reorganize" those tough moments, so they no longer have such a strong emotional hold on you.

The EMDR process is structured with eight distinct phases to guide you step by step. I’ll be with you through the entire journey—from understanding what’s troubling you to preparing for the work and then gently addressing those memories. The ultimate goal is to replace feelings of distress with calm and clarity.

Research shows that EMDR is effective for a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and trauma. Whether you’re struggling with a specific event or a general sense of being stuck, EMDR can offer a way to break free and regain control over your life.

As a trained EMDR therapist, I’m passionate about helping people heal and thrive. Whether you’re interested in trying EMDR or prefer the familiarity of regular talk therapy, I am here to support you with either approach. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, I’d love to connect.
