Traditional talk therapy mostly engages the thinking part of your brain. But when you’re dealing with trauma or intense emotional pain, your emotional brain—the right side—can flood your system. That’s why sometimes, talking about what happened only makes you feel more overwhelmed.

EMDR takes a different path.

By using bilateral stimulation (that mimic REM sleep), EMDR activates your brain’s natural “super-processing mode.” This helps the brain safely access stuck memories, reprocess them, and store them in a way that no longer triggers the same emotional reaction.

Think of it as jumpstarting your brain’s built-in healing system.

EMDR is particularly effective for:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Anxiety and panic

• Emotional burnout

• Distressing memories or past experiences

• Overwhelm that feels “stuck in your body”

• Grief and loss

• Childhood wounds or attachment trauma

It’s not about reliving your pain—it’s about helping your brain release it.

EMDR has been designated by the World Health Organization and American Psychological Association as a leading evidence-based treatment for trauma and anxiety. In fact, many clients no longer meet the clinical criteria for anxiety or PTSD after completing EMDR therapy.

You remain fully present and in control during every session.

You don’t have to explain every detail of your trauma or tell the full story.

You don’t have to relive it.

Instead, I’ll gently guide you as your brain begins to do the work it was wired to do—heal.
