Release the Past, Reclaim Your Present
EMDR THERAPY
Many of us have painful experiences or negative beliefs about ourselves that become “stuck” in our brains and bodies, creating patterns that no longer serve us, making it feel impossible to leave those things in the past. While traditional talk therapy is helpful for processing and understanding those things, it doesn’t fully “unstick” us from the issues.
These negative beliefs and the hidden pain it creates can come out at times when you least expect it: During an intimate moment, when you’re arguing with someone, in your sleep, or when you’re in a certain environment. It’s unsettling that these intense negative beliefs, experiences and emotions have so much control over you — it can feel unsafe in your own body to experience this.
The good news is that our brains are naturally resilient and adaptive. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based approach that works with your brain’s natural healing processes to reduce emotional distress and restore inner balance.

HOW EMDR THERAPY WORKS
EMDR interacts both sides of your brain to reprocess distressing memories and minimize their emotional intensity and control
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps your brain process difficult experiences so that they stop feeling overwhelming or disruptive. It uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, sounds, or tapping—to engage both sides of your brain. This mimics what happens during REM sleep and helps your brain “unstick” memories that did not get fully processed when they first occurred. The goal is to reduce the emotional intensity and physical stress connected to those unpleasant memories.
EMDR therapy follows a “Three Pronged” model to reduce symptoms:
-We look at how past experiences are affecting you (past memories)
-We asses how they show up in your present life (current triggers)
-We identify how to better handle future situations (potential challenges that may impede progress)
I will walk you through the process step-by-step so that you feel secure, safe and in charge of your healing process. EMDR doesn’t erase what happened, but it can change how it lives in your mind and body—so you can feel grounded, empowered and free to move forward.
