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.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is a way of helping the brain and body release memories that feel “stuck.” 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.

A relational approach

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.

Who is EMDR for?

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

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, such as eye movements or tapping, 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.
