EMDR & TRAUMA THERAPY
You Don't Have to Keep Carrying the Weight
Trauma can change the way we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
Sometimes we know exactly what happened. Other times, we simply know that something doesn't feel right. You may experience anxiety, emotional reactions that seem disproportionate to the situation, difficulty trusting others, intrusive memories, avoidance, shame, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
These responses can make sense when viewed through the lens of what you've experienced.
A Structured, Trauma-Focused Approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, trauma-focused therapy approach designed to help individuals process distressing memories and experiences.
As an EMDR-trained therapist, I incorporate EMDR when it is clinically appropriate and when it fits your goals for therapy.
EMDR is not about forcing you to relive your trauma or telling your story before you are ready. Instead, we move at a pace that prioritizes safety, preparation, and your ability to remain grounded throughout the process.
WHAT CAN EMDR HELP WITH?
- Trauma and PTSD
- Childhood trauma
- Relationship trauma
- Domestic violence
- Grief and loss
- Anxiety
- Shame and negative self-beliefs
- Distressing memories
- Emotional triggers
- Experiences that continue to feel unresolved
WHAT THERAPY MAY LOOK LIKE
Your Pace Matters
Trauma therapy does not begin with immediately processing the most painful experience of your life.
We begin by developing trust, understanding your history, identifying your goals, and building skills that can help you feel more grounded and emotionally prepared.
When appropriate, we may then begin processing experiences that continue to affect you.
You Are More Than What Happened to You
Your experiences may have shaped you, but they do not have to define you. Therapy can be an opportunity to understand what happened, reconnect with yourself, and begin creating a different relationship with your past.
