EMDR
YOU’RE READY FOR A NEW APPROACH TO THERAPY.
Some experiences don’t stay in the past. They linger in your body, your reactions, your beliefs about yourself, and your sense of safety in the world. You might feel on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, shut down, or frustrated that you “know” something is over — yet it still feels very present.
Maybe you’ve been to therapy before, but something about it just wasn’t working. Maybe diving into details of your trauma felt too uncomfortable or scary. Or maybe you’ve recounted the details so many times you’ve become numb. EMDR therapy offers a structured, evidence-based way to work with difficult experiences without having to relive them in detail or stay stuck in them.
How EMDR can help
What EMDR is — and how it works
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process distressing memories and experiences that have not been fully integrated. Rather than focusing only on insight or coping, EMDR helps reduce the emotional charge and physical distress associated with past events.
Using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or alternating taps), EMDR supports the brain’s natural capacity to heal — allowing memories to be reprocessed in a way that feels less intense, less intrusive, and less defining.

What to expect
EMDR is structured and collaborative. We’ll spend time building safety, understanding your history, and identifying targets for EMDR work. You won’t be rushed into processing before you’re ready, and you remain in control throughout the process.
Sessions may include preparation and resourcing, EMDR processing phases, and time to integrate what comes up. Some clients notice shifts quickly; for others, progress unfolds more gradually. The pace and focus are always tailored to you.

How EMDR can help you
EMDR therapy can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and emotional reactions, lessen anxiety and trauma-related symptoms, and shift unhelpful beliefs that developed in response to difficult experiences. As your nervous system becomes less reactive, many people notice an increased sense of safety, control, and self-trust, along with a greater ability to feel present and engaged in their lives and relationships.
