EMDR Therapy

Some experiences don’t stay in the past — they show up in your body, your reactions, your relationships, and the way you see yourself. EMDR therapy helps the nervous system process what hasn’t been fully resolved, so you don’t have to keep reliving it.
 

I offer EMDR as part of a trauma-informed, collaborative therapy approach that moves at your pace and centers safety, consent, and trust.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported therapy used to help people process distressing or traumatic experiences.

​

Rather than focusing only on talking through events, EMDR helps the brain and body reprocess memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or “stuck.” Over time, this can reduce emotional intensity, physical reactions, and negative beliefs tied to past experiences.

​

You remain present, aware, and in control throughout the process.

What EMDR Can Help With?

EMDR may be helpful if you’re experiencing:

  • Trauma or PTSD

  • Anxiety or panic that feels out of proportion

  • Depression connected to past experiences

  • Childhood emotional neglect or attachment wounds

  • Relationship patterns that feel hard to change

  • Immigration-related trauma or displacement stress

​

You do not need to have a single “big trauma” for EMDR to be helpful.

What EMDR is not:

Let’s clear up a few common myths:

  • EMDR is not hypnosis

  • You do not lose control or awareness

  • You do not have to share every detail out loud

  • EMDR is not rushed or forced

Preparation and stabilization are an important part of EMDR work, and we only move forward when it feels appropriate for you.

What EMDR Therapy Looks Like With Me:

EMDR therapy is not something we jump into immediately. We begin by building a foundation of safety, trust, and coping resources.

​

Our work may include:

  • Understanding your history and current concerns

  • Learning grounding and regulation skills

  • Identifying patterns, triggers, and beliefs shaped by past experiences

  • EMDR reprocessing when you feel ready

  • Integrating insights into daily life and relationships

​

Some sessions may focus on EMDR processing, while others may involve reflection, skill-building, or integration.

A Trauma-Informed Approach

Many of the patterns that feel frustrating now once served an important purpose. Staying alert, guarded, or emotionally distant may have helped you get through difficult experiences. EMDR approaches these responses with care and respect, moving at a pace guided by your nervous system — not pressure.

​

You are always encouraged to:

  • Go at your own pace

  • Pause or slow down

  • Ask questions

  • Share feedback about what feels helpful or not

Your nervous system sets the pace.
