EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach that can help your brain process experiences that feel overwhelming, painful, or unresolved. While EMDR is often used to treat trauma and PTSD, it can also be helpful for anxiety, phobias, difficult life experiences, and other symptoms or situations that continue to affect you.

​

EMDR isn’t about forgetting what happened or forcing yourself to talk through every detail. Before beginning EMDR processing, we’ll spend time getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and building a sense of safety and trust. When you’re ready, we’ll use gentle bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds—to support your brain’s natural ability to process difficult experiences.

​

EMDR can be especially helpful for people who feel like they understand what happened but still find themselves reacting emotionally or physically as though it’s happening now. The goal is to help those experiences feel less overwhelming and to give you more freedom to respond to life in the present.

I have experience using EMDR with individuals who have experienced personal, medical, and work-related trauma, including first responders, military members, and medical professionals.
