Individual EMDR Therapy
If you've been experiencing the feeling of being trapped in your mind, feeling like there's an elephant on your chest or a pit in your stomach - I'm here to help. Perhaps it's been difficult to get out of bed or you find yourself questioning your worth. You're not alone. Together, through the lens of EMDR therapy, we can better understand the roots (in the form of memories) attached to these feelings and sensations.
​
EMDR therapy is an evidence-based therapy that helps "unstick" these memories that were stored incorrectly from the time they happened.
How? By using rhythmic movements, such as eye movements, auditory or tactile, this therapy mimics the function of REM sleep and consolidates memories so they get stored in the brain the way they were intended to be.
Why is this helpful? In a nutshell, when our memories are not stored correctly, our brain cannot function optimally. What this means is the current symptoms you are experiencing are your brain, and most likely your body's way of communicating to you that something is off.
​
Not only is EMDR highly effective as a stand-alone therapy, but it's also great in conjunction with traditional talk therapy. In my clinical experience I have leaned heavily into the idea that "knowledge is power." With greater awareness of how our brain functions, more space can be created between emotions and experiences - and the more space in these areas, the more intentional and balanced we can feel in our mind as well as our body.
​
My Approach
-
Our first few sessions will focus on relevant historical information gathering and building the necessary framework for your healing journey.
-
Dependent on individual need, we will then collaborate on how to implement strategies that allow for deeper healing during, as well as between sessions.
-
From there, we begin our reprocessing journey!
-
I will act as your guide every step of the way, providing education and taking your lead on a pace that feels best for your nervous system.

EMDR for a
Recent Traumatic Event
If you have experienced a recent traumatic or distressing event, I have specialized training in this area that can help alleviate symptoms that may be getting in the way of every day life. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to intrusive or racing thoughts, flashbacks, heightened arousal, sleep disturbances, or increased anxiety.
How is this different than traditional EMDR therapy?
With this approach, it is not required to take a deep dive into early life experiences, therefore allowing us to focus on the recent experience.
Whatever you may be going through, you are not alone. Reach out today for help.
My Approach
-
During the initial session, we will discuss goals for treatment and very briefly review the incident in which you are seeking support.
-
Following the initial session, we will explore current resources in place to ensure stabilization during and between sessions. To download my free e-guide to get a jumpstart, click here.
