EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING (EMDR)

A New Path Toward Healing

Eye Movement Reprocessing Desensitization (EMDR) is a researched, evidence-based practice that allows individuals to process through trauma without the need for talking about your experiences in great detail.


EMDR taps into your brain’s natural ability to heal, offering relief from symptoms and helping you reshape your stories around past traumas. This approach can lead to lasting, meaningful changes in how you see yourself, connect with others, and experience the world.


EMDR is particularly effective in addressing many challenges; whether a specific phobia, a singular traumatic event, or generally negative thought patterns. Through my EMDRIA certification, I have developed the skills to guide you and provide a safe environment where you can enter a vulnerable space and rebuild trust within yourself to heal.

Intensive EMDR

In addition to standard session lengths, I also offer "Intensive" EMDR sessions. These sessions involve multiple EMDR sessions scheduled back-to-back and can span most of the day. After an initial 15 minute free consultation, a 50-minute paid consultation is required to assess readiness and appropriateness in greater detail. This consultation allows us to determine if an intensive approach aligns with your specific needs and therapeutic goals.
