Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

(EMDR)

Some experiences stay with us—not just in memory, but in our bodies, our beliefs, and the way we move through the world.

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel as emotionally intense or overwhelming. It’s especially helpful when you feel stuck in painful patterns—whether from trauma, loss, or ongoing stress.

EMDR uses gentle, rhythmic techniques—like eye movements, tapping, or tones—to activate your brain’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional talk therapy, you don’t need to relive every detail. In a safe, supportive space, we’ll target the root of the pain while building tools for resilience and emotional regulation.

You don’t need to have experienced a major trauma for EMDR to be effective. It can support healing from both big life events and chronic emotional patterns that affect your sense of safety, self-worth, or connection.

EMDR Can Help With:

  • Birth trauma, fertility challenges, or emotionally overwhelming medical procedures

  • Postpartum anxiety or unresolved emotions around pregnancy and parenting

  • Childhood emotional neglect, criticism, or feeling unseen growing up

  • Toxic relationship patterns, breakups, or betrayal wounds

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism, or the constant pressure to “hold it all together”

  • Fear of failure, self-doubt, or beliefs like “I’m not good enough”

  • Work-related stress, burnout, or over-functioning to feel worthy

  • Grief, loss, or complicated family dynamics that feel unresolved

Many women I work with describe feeling lighter, more in control, and more connected to themselves after EMDR—often in ways they didn’t think were possible.
