EMDR Therapy

Heal Trauma and Find Relief with EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven, evidence-based therapy that helps people process and overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. By using gentle, guided eye movements and bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps your brain reprocess painful memories, reducing their intensity and allowing you to move forward with greater peace and resilience.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps people process trauma memories that feel “stuck.” It uses bilateral stimulation — like guided eye movements — to help your brain heal naturally.

  • Unlike talk therapy alone, EMDR goes deeper than just talking about what happened. It helps you release the physical and emotional charge tied to memories so you can feel real relief.

  • No — many people worry about this. While you’ll recall memories, EMDR doesn’t mean sharing every detail out loud. You’re in control, and we go at your pace.

  • You’ll start to notice shifts in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — and sometimes others notice before you do.

  • Some people do feel distress as they process old memories. This is usually temporary while your brain forms new, healthier connections. I guide you through the process, and you’ll be supported every step of the way.

  • Every person is different. Some see meaningful shifts in a few sessions; others with complex trauma may use EMDR alongside regular therapy for deeper healing over time.

  • Yes — EMDR is well-researched and widely used. Like any therapy, it can bring up big feelings, but I make sure you feel grounded and supported throughout.
