Healing from Trauma is Possible — You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone

Is this what you’re going through?

Trauma is a natural response to overwhelming experiences, but its effects don’t have to control your life. EMDR therapy can help if you experience:

Intrusive memories or flashbacks
Anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance
Emotional numbness or disconnection
Relationship difficulties or trust challenges
Feeling “stuck” despite previous therapy

Clients often feel relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of emotional balance after EMDR sessions.

Why Should You Start EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps your brain process and release the emotional charge of traumatic experiences.

I integrate EMDR with IFS-informed techniques, which means we honor all parts of yourself — your protective parts, your vulnerable parts — while gently guiding your nervous system toward healing. This approach is safe, client-centered, and can create deeper, lasting change.

EMDR: Evidence-Based Approach to Trauma Therapy

EMDR has been studied extensively and shown to be highly effective for people experiencing trauma, anxiety, and related emotional challenges.

By using bilateral stimulation, guided processing, and integration techniques, EMDR allows the brain to reprocess distressing experiences naturally, reducing emotional intensity and creating new pathways for understanding and healing.
