EMDR is a modern therapy technique originally developed to accelerate healing from traumatic or distressing experiences. These experiences often leave people feeling stuck, constantly re-triggered by circumstances that create additional distress. You may feel on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.

EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories or ineffective patterns while also supporting nervous system regulation.

When we experience trauma, our nervous system can become dysregulated, keeping us in a state of hyperarousal (fight-or-flight) or shutdown (freeze). EMDR works by engaging both the mind and body, allowing you to release distress physically and mentally, helping restore balance to your nervous system.

This therapy can be beneficial at any point after a difficult event, whether it happened recently or years ago. If you've tried talk therapy but still feel stuck, or if you've recently experienced trauma and need deeper healing, EMDR may be the next best step.

I offer two-hour intensive sessions, which allow us to get to the root of the trauma for quicker, more effective progress. Shorter follow-up sessions may be useful as needed.
