Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused therapy that can help you work through painful or overwhelming experiences in a way that feels safe, supported, and manageable. Sometimes, even when we know an experience happened in the past, our mind and body can continue to respond as though we are still living through it. You may notice this through anxiety, emotional triggers, intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling disconnected from yourself, or becoming overwhelmed by situations that seem unrelated to the past.

EMDR can help you gently process these experiences so they no longer hold the same emotional power over you. Rather than asking you to repeatedly talk through every detail of what happened, EMDR uses guided techniques to help your brain process memories that may feel “stuck.” Over time, this can help you develop a greater sense of safety, reduce emotional distress, and create space for new, healthier ways of understanding yourself and your experiences.

You do not have to be “over” your trauma before coming to therapy, and you do not have to know exactly where to begin. We can start wherever you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the process.
