Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Understanding EMDR Therapy

If you’ve been through something painful or distressing, you may have noticed that certain memories or feelings still feel “stuck,” no matter how much time has passed. EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps your brain and body heal from those experiences so you can move forward with more peace and confidence.

How EMDR Can Help

When something overwhelming happens, your brain sometimes isn’t able to fully process it at the time. As a result, reminders of that event can continue to trigger strong emotional or physical reactions. EMDR helps your brain finish what it started, allowing those memories to be processed and stored in a healthier way.

Over time, the emotional charge of those memories softens. You can still remember what happened, but it no longer feels as painful.

What EMDR Sessions Are Like

During EMDR, you’ll work with me to focus on specific memories or feelings while engaging in bilateral stimulation (like gentle eye movements, tapping, or sounds). This process helps your brain reprocess the memory naturally and safely.

You are always in control of the pace, and I will guide you with care and grounding tools so that you feel supported every step of the way.

EMDR Can Be Helpful For:

• Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)

• Anxiety, panic, and phobias

• Depression, Grief and loss

• Relationship or attachment wounds

• Negative self-beliefs or shame

• Stress

Healing Is Possible

You don’t have to keep reliving the past or feeling controlled by old pain. EMDR therapy can help you reconnect with your sense of safety, strength, and hope. Leading to a life that feels more grounded and free.
