EMDR

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Studies and my experience show EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. This treatment can be used for trauma, anxiety, life stressors and more. EMDR is my primary treatment modality

EMDR is a structured form of therapy that helps people become less impacted by painful or traumatic memories. When our resources to cope with a situation are overwhelmed, we may experience a fight, flight, or freeze response. Without a safe opportunity to work through this stress response, a sense of distress can persist for months or years afterward. EMDR helps your brain to process difficult memories in the safety and support of the present moment, which allows for healing.

I am actively training in EMDR and am a strong believer in its effectiveness in processing trauma and fostering deep healing. My goal is to integrate EMDR with talk-based therapies to provide a more comprehensive approach to treatment. By doing so, I aim to increase my clients' capacity to access their inner strengths and resources, empowering them on their journey toward resilience and joy.

EMDR is a trauma-informed, trauma-oriented modality that follows eight phases to address various experiences that have led to current struggles from negative self-worth, shame, disembodiment, relationship issues, and emotional dysregulation, to name a few. EMDR is a supportive modality often used in trauma treatment that believes in our innate adaptive processing system and ability to experience post-traumatic growth and access our embodied selves.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life events. EMDR works by targeting unprocessed memories and experiences that may be causing emotional pain or negative beliefs. Together, we can determine if this is the right therapy for you.

I utilize this therapy to help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional well-being. My clinical understanding of EMDR's principles and techniques allows me to tailor treatments to individual needs, achieving significant, lasting changes for those I work with.

I have completed EMDR training and have used EMDR with clients for more than 10 years.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic technique for trauma. I employ EMDR to guide clients in processing distressing memories, using bilateral stimulation. This aids in rewiring responses to trauma, reducing emotional distress and fostering a positive life outlook.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess memories in such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Therapists often use EMDR to help clients uncover and process negative core beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, childhood abuse or neglect, or difficult events they have experienced. EMDR focuses on the brain’s ability to constantly learn, taking past experiences, and updating them with present Information.

I was trained in EMDR through the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy (an EMDRIA-approved course). Through the use of EMDR therapy, my clients have been able to process and heal from a variety of painful experiences. Together we will explore the connection between your past experiences and present-day challenges. By utilizing the therapeutic space to tap into the deep emotional and physical sensations tied to painful memories, I will support you to reprocess and heal from these experiences.

EMDR is a great modality for working with stress and trauma.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a modality that uses a specific type of instinct to help people recognize that past traumas and distresses can no longer harm someone in the present. I am certified in this type of therapy, meaning I regularly seek more training in it, and I actually can consult with those still training in it as well. It is recognized as one of the gold standard approaches to PTSD because of it can help clients recode/detrigger traumatic experiences.

Many times, talking about trauma doesn’t give us relief from the trauma, and we need something more. work with a number of body-based therapeutic techniques to process trauma. I am inspired by Peter Levine’s work and knowledge about the holding of trauma in the body. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This is a type of therapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of trauma or disturbing events.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a structured therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing memories/ trauma. It involves recalling an event while using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements). This helps the brain reprocess memories, reducing their emotional intensity & allowing more adaptive beliefs to form. It's not just for trauma but for anywhere you feel stuck.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), is a really cool, interesting, and neuroscientific form of therapy. It is primarily used to help relieve clients from unresolved trauma and negative experiences.

I specialize in Attachment-Focused EMDR, designed for healing trauma resulting from adverse childhood experiences – abuse, neglect, loss of loved ones, childhood illness and so on. If the past stayed in the past, we could just leave these behind and move on. But when we're under stress, the past can intrude into the present – as anxiety, depression, freezing, dissociation. These present-day experiences are our key to the healing process, and as they resolve, they're our best measure of success.
