Feeling stuck in your past, even after you've talked it through?

You might understand what happened to you, but your body still reacts like you're in danger. You shut down, get triggered, or overthink everything. You’ve probably tried talking it out, and it helped but only to a point. That’s where EMDR can make a difference.

What is EMDR, really?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain and body reprocess trauma using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping. This can help reduce emotional distress, change the way your brain understands your trauma, and help you get unstuck from long-standing patterns of behavior.

I use EMDR with clients who:

• Had a traumatic and chaotic childhood

• Struggle with self-esteem and confidence

• Feel numb, overwhelmed, and/or ashamed

• Say everything’s “fine,” but are stuck in survival mode

• Experience attachment issues as a result of abusive and toxic relationships

What EMDR looks like in our work together:

My approach to EMDR is attachment-based, so instead of just focusing on single events, we look at how early relationships and unmet needs may still be showing up in your life today. I also interweave parts work, helping you to identify how different parts of yourself may have developed from or created narratives about your experiences. Then we’ll decide together what to process and how. Many clients appreciate that it feels structured and emotionally containing.

Why I use EMDR:

EMDR is one of the few things I’ve seen shift long-held trauma patterns in real time. It’s helped my clients make meaningful changes so they can live more fully, not just get through the day.
