EMDR is proving to be the silicon chip of psychotherapy; it allows people to process incredible amounts of material in a shockingly short time."

You might benefit from EMDR if:

• You’re carrying emotional pain from past events that still affect you today
• You experience anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts that seem stuck on a loop
• You feel stuck in negative self-beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “It was my fault”
• You want a structured, research-backed approach to processing trauma and building resilience

EMDR is especially effective for:

• Trauma (single-event or complex)
• Anxiety & chronic stress
• Negative beliefs (like "I’m not good enough" or "I’ll never feel safe")
• Grief and loss
• Performance anxiety
• Emotional patterns that feel stuck, no matter how much you talk about them

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR activates the brain’s natural healing process through bilateral stimulation—often through eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones. This allows you to process memories at a deeper level, reducing emotional intensity and helping you feel more grounded and empowered. Many clients find that EMDR helps shift things that previously felt unchangeable.

EMDR can be used to address not only major traumatic events, but also the smaller, cumulative experiences (sometimes called “little t” trauma) that quietly shape how we see ourselves and relate to the world.

EMDR follows a structured eight-phase protocol. During our initial sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your history, building trust and safety, and identifying target memories or themes for reprocessing. You’ll also learn grounding strategies and develop internal resources to help your system stay regulated during deeper work.

When you’re ready, we’ll begin reprocessing distressing memories using bilateral stimulation—this may include eye movements with a light bar or alternating tones through headphones. You’ll remain in control throughout the process, and I’ll guide and support you every step of the way.

I offer both 50-minute and 100-minute EMDR sessions, allowing you to choose what best fits your goals and availability. For clients seeking a deeper or more concentrated experience, I also offer Half-Day Therapy Intensives, which include a 50-minute planning session and a 3-hour EMDR session. This format is ideal for those looking to make significant progress in a short amount of time—whether as a one-time experience or in addition to ongoing therapy.

And if we discover that Brainspotting might better support your nervous system? We can always adapt and integrate the approach that works best for you.

That’s one of the most common questions I hear—and the honest answer is: it depends. Some clients experience relief after just one or a few EMDR sessions, while others with more complex histories may benefit from longer-term work.

The beauty of EMDR is that it’s efficient and focused. You don’t have to spend years rehashing your story. Many people continue noticing positive shifts between sessions and even after completing therapy.

Before opening my private practice, I worked as a dedicated trauma therapist at a residential trauma treatment center, specializing in EMDR. I've guided many clients through all phases of EMDR therapy—whether addressing a single event, ongoing stress, or complex trauma—and I’ll be right there to support you every step of the way.

And because I’m trained in both EMDR and Brainspotting (BSP), if at any point it feels like Brainspotting or simply talking might be a better fit for your goals, we can switch approaches seamlessly—no need to start over or jump through hoops.
