EMDR therapy
When insight isn’t enoughto break the pattern.
For the memories that still tighten your chest. Available weekly, or as a focused intensive.
You already understand where it comes from.
You can name the memory. Explain the pattern. Connect the dots.
And yet your body still reacts.
EMDR Therapy are for the parts of you that learned something painful early on and never got to fully process it in your body.
These are often the moments that shaped how you attach:
- Feeling unseen, ignored or dismissed
- Being criticized or emotionally responsible too young
- Experiences of loss, fear, or instability
Talk therapy helps you understand them. EMDR helps your nervous system release them.
This format is ideal if you:
- Have a busy schedule and prefer fewer, more intentional sessions
- Feel frustrated stopping right when things start to move
- Want to work through a specific memory, theme, or trigger
Benefits include:
- Deeper, uninterrupted processing
- Greater regulation and relief
- Movement where you’ve felt stuck for years
EMDR Intensives are offered in 2-hour sessions, planned with care and follow-up support.
This isn’t about reliving the past. It’s about helping your system finally learn: That was then. This is now. And I really am safe.
Common questions
Common questions about EMDR
EMDR is different from regular talk therapy. Most people come in expecting to just talk for most of the session, but that’s not really what happens. Instead, you’ll focus on a specific image while you use handheld buzzers or follow a dot moving right to left on a screen, your choice. I explain everything step by step, so you always know what’s happening next. It’s a little like riding a bike, it feels strange until you’ve done it once, and then it just comes naturally.
Early experiences of feeling unseen, having emotional responsibility placed on you too young, instability at home, single-event trauma, or the slow-motion trauma of having to be "the strong one." EMDR is especially useful when you understand the pattern intellectually but your body still reacts as if the past were now.
No. EMDR does not require detailed verbal disclosure. You stay in control of how much you share. The work happens in the processing, not the retelling.
EMDR and trauma work can’t happen twice a month, it needs consistency, so I require weekly sessions. Depending on your goals, we might even start at twice a week. This is long term work, but I won’t stall you, and I won’t leave you before you’re ready either. As you get stronger, we taper down together, sometimes to once a month for a stretch before we end.
I wish healing worked like a drive through, but it doesn’t. If you’ve been carrying something for years, we’re not undoing it in three sessions. What I can promise is that I move as fast as it’s safely possible to move, and I won’t keep you here longer than you need to be. You can see what sessions cost on the rates page.
No, it lives inside the work. EMDR is one of the approaches I use in weekly individual therapy, alongside inner-child work, IFS, and EFT. We decide together when your nervous system is ready to start processing, and we come back to talk-based work whenever that serves you better.
