Trauma/EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy used to help the brain reprocess distressing memories.
It is commonly used for trauma, PTSD, complicated grief, anxiety, and persistent emotional triggers.
EMDR does not require detailed retelling of traumatic events.
The process uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to support the brain’s natural healing process.
Many clients report that memories feel less intense, less intrusive, and less emotionally charged after treatment.

We begin with a thorough assessment and stabilization phase.
Skills for grounding and emotional regulation are developed first.
Target memories are identified and processed gradually.
Treatment is paced carefully to maintain safety and emotional stability.
EMDR can be integrated with traditional talk therapy.environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your depression.

Not all clients are appropriate candidates for EMDR.
Individuals experiencing significant instability, active crisis, or untreated dissociation may need preparatory work first.
Medical, neurological, or psychiatric factors are considered before beginning.
EMDR requires readiness, emotional regulation capacity, and a collaborative treatment plan.
A consultation and assessment will determine whether EMDR is clinically appropriate.

OSessions may feel different from traditional talk therapy.

I am currently offering EMDR to a limited number of clients while continuing professional consultation and training in this model.

Not every client or concern is appropriate for EMDR, and we will determine together whether this approach is a good fit for your needs.
