EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach designed to help process trauma and distressing experiences. It supports the brain in reprocessing what has been difficult to resolve, allowing for meaningful and lasting change.

What is EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that helps the brain process unresolved experiences. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the integration of distressing memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming.

What EMDR Therapy can help with.

EMDR can be helpful for individuals who feel stuck in patterns they haven’t been able to shift, experience strong emotional reactions, or notice ongoing effects from past experiences.

Who EMDR Therapy is for.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess experiences that are stored in a way that keeps them emotionally active. By integrating these experiences more adaptively, the intensity of thoughts, emotions, and physical responses can decrease over time.

Why EMDR Therapy works.

My Approach to EMDR Therapy.

My work integrates EMDR with DBT- and IFS-informed approaches, with an emphasis on safety, pacing, and long-term change. Therapy is tailored to each individual, with a focus on both processing underlying experiences and building emotional regulation.
