What is EMDR?
A practice for mind and body
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) isn’t about erasing your past. It helps your nervous system do what it was meant to do: fully process experiences so they stop feeling like they’re stuck on repeat. Through bilateral movements, whether eye movements or gentle tactile touch, your brain forms new connections, making space for choice in the present moment.
How EMDR helps:
What Shifts with EMDR
Clients often find EMDR when talk therapy has taken them part of the way, but not all the way. This work blends the structure of research with the humanity of presence, offering:
Relief from trauma, flashbacks, and anxiety
The ability to regulate emotions without being swept away
New beliefs that feel truer and more empowering
A deeper sense of awareness and meaning
Confidence to trust your own inner compass
Is EMDR right for you?
Who EMDR Speaks To
You may feel like you’ve outgrown old ways of coping. Or maybe you’re standing at a crossroads: a new role, a spiritual shift, an identity question, and something in you knows the surface isn’t enough.
EMDR might be for you if:
You’re longing for real depth, not just symptom management
You find yourself caught in the same patterns and beliefs, unable to move forward
You crave a space where your struggle is seen as meaningful, not shameful
You want to feel whole, present, and alive
Clients often tell me they feel both grounded and safe in our work, while also challenged in the best way. It’s a partnership: science, soul, and compassion, side by side.

Inside an EMDR Therapy Session:
We begin with resourcing, building a felt sense of safety so your nervous system is ready for the work ahead. From there, we choose the experiences you want to shift and use gentle bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess them.
One important piece to know: you do not have to speak your trauma out loud in order for EMDR to work. Many clients find comfort in knowing they can move through painful memories without having to share every detail. While having a witness to your pain can be powerful, you never have to tell the full story to create change.
