EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a way of helping your brain reprocess a memory or a feeling so it can finally begin to heal over it.
EMDR is effective for a wide range of experiences including:
Trauma & PTSD
Childhood wounds showing up in adult life
Anxiety & overwhelming stress
Grief & loss
Painful memories that keep resurfacing
Negative beliefs about yourself that won't budge
EMDR FAQs

This is the question most people are afraid to ask and it's the most important one.
EMDR with me is never about being thrown into the deep end. Before we do any reprocessing at all we take time to map things out together : where to start, what we're working toward, whether we're looking at something from childhood or something more recent. We also practice a safe calm exercise first, so you always have somewhere steady to return to if things feel like too much.
During reprocessing I use gentle eye movements and tapping , forms of bilateral stimulation that help your brain process what's been lingering. How long we spend reprocessing is completely up to you. Some sessions that might be 10 minutes. Others it might be 40. You are always in control of the pace.
Sessions are 50 minutes total. What happens within that time is always guided by you.

You don't have to have a formal trauma diagnosis to benefit from EMDR. If there's a memory, a feeling, or a belief about yourself that keeps weighing on you no matter how hard you try to move past it , EMDR might be exactly what's been missing.
And if you're not sure? That's what the free 15-minute consultation is for. We can talk through whether it feels like the right fit before committing to anything.

EMDR isn't something we rush into. The prep work matters just as much as the reprocessing itself and we move at whatever pace feels right for you. Some clients spend several sessions getting ready before we begin reprocessing. Others feel ready sooner. There's no timeline you need to follow.
