EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidenced-based approach designed to help process and heal from distressing memories, thoughts, or emotions. It begins with grounding and resourcing techniques to create a sense of safety and stability. Once ready, you will begin to identify specific experiences to address, ensuring the process respects your comfort and pace. Using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional intensity and shifting how they are stored in the brain. This allows you to move past old triggers and connect with more positive and empowering thoughts. The process includes follow-up to ensure these changes feel integrated into your everyday life.
EMDR is highly effective in addressing stress, anxiety, past memories, and trauma by targeting the root causes stored in the memory network & nervous system. Often, unresolved experiences are "stuck" in a way that continues to trigger stress and anxiety in the present. EMDR helps reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional charge and enabling your brain to view them from a calmer, more balanced perspective. By using bilateral stimulation, EMDR engages both sides of the brain, allowing distressing memories and associated feelings to be reprocessed in a way that feels less overwhelming. This not only alleviates symptoms of stress and anxiety but also helps you build resilience and emotional regulation. Over time, EMDR replaces distress with more positive, adaptive thoughts and feelings, allowing you to feel empowered and less burdened by the past.
EMDR can be a powerful tool for resolving grief by addressing the complex emotions and memories tied to loss. Grief often involves a mix of stages, such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, which can feel overwhelming or unresolved. EMDR works by helping you safely process the pain, sadness, or guilt associated with loss, without forcing you to move through these stages unnaturally. Through bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows the brain to reprocess difficult memories and emotions, reducing their intensity while fostering a sense of safety and understanding. As the sessions progress, you can revisit and integrate these experiences, gaining a clearer perspective and greater emotional balance.
This process helps the natural progression of grief, allowing you to move toward a place of acceptance where the pain becomes more manageable. Over time, EMDR supports integration, helping you honor your loss while finding peace and renewed connection to the present.
EMDR goes beyond traditional talk therapy by targeting the root of emotional distress stored in the body and brain. While talking about experiences can help increase awareness and understanding, it often doesn’t resolve the deeper emotional and physiological responses tied to past events. EMDR works differently by engaging the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to directly access and reprocess these stored memories. This method helps unlock the “stuck” memories, emotions, and patterns that talking alone may not reach, allowing the brain to reorganize how these experiences are stored. As a result, the emotional charge and intensity of the memories decrease, creating lasting relief and transformation. EMDR works at the core level, enabling you to move beyond intellectual understanding and truly resolve the source of your struggles. This makes it especially effective for long-standing issues like trauma, anxiety, and self-limiting beliefs.
EMDR helps you feel more resolved, connected, and present by addressing the underlying memories and emotions that keep you stuck in cycles of distress or disconnection. Unresolved experiences often leave emotional imprints that pull you out of the present moment, creating feelings of overwhelm, avoidance, or numbness. Through the structured process of EMDR, these unresolved memories are reprocessed, allowing your brain to reduce their emotional intensity and integrate them more adaptively. This shift frees up mental and emotional energy that was previously tied to the past, making it easier to feel grounded and connected in the here and now.
By clearing these blocks, EMDR also enhances your ability to engage more fully with your emotions, relationships, and daily life. It fosters a deeper sense of inner peace and helps you move through the world with greater clarity, presence, and connection to yourself and others.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidenced based approach that helps people process and heal from distressing memories, emotions, and experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, to activate the brain's natural ability to reprocess and resolve stored emotional pain.
The duration varies depending on your needs and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Some people experience relief in just a few sessions, while others may require longer to fully process and integrate their experiences. I offer both weekly sessions as well as intensives as options. We will discuss more in your consultation.
Book your consultation with me and I would be more than happy to chat, answer your questions, & ensure everything feels like a good fit for you!
