EMDR therapy
As a therapist, I believe that healing happens in relationship — with ourselves, with others, and with our communities. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that supports people in gently reprocessing difficult experiences so they no longer carry the same weight in daily life.
EMDR is a way of helping the brain and body connect pieces of information (emotions, images, sensations) where memories feel “stuck”, where memories from the past intrude on the present. When past experiences remain unprocessed, they can continue to shape how we feel, think, and respond.
Through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds, EMDR helps the nervous system integrate these memories in a new way, reducing distress and opening space for healing.
What is EMDR?
EMDR is offered in the same spirit as all my approaches and services, with warmth, respect, and a commitment to connection and relational practice. I move at your pace, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout our work together. Healing is about connection and hope. My job is to work with you to help you heal from pain, we find our way along that journey together.
A relational approach
I use EMDR with both children and adults. EMDR can be helpful for those who have experienced:
Trauma or abuse
Grief and loss
Anxiety, panic, or phobias
Accidents or medical trauma
Stress that feels overwhelming or hard to shift
I am also trained in Predictive Processing Flash (Thomas Zimmerman) and Flash (Philip Manfield) and I work with and integrate these approaches where they are helpful for you.
Who is EMDR for?
How is EMDR different from other therapies?
Unlike many therapies that focus mainly on talking through experiences, EMDR works a little differently. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess memories . This approach allows distressing experiences to lose their intensity and be integrated in a healthier way. While traditional therapies often focus on exploring and understanding experiences, EMDR works directly with how those memories are stored in the nervous system, supporting change at both an emotional and physical level.
