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 (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they don’t 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 work together to 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 helpful. It can support healing from both big life events and chronic emotional patterns that impact 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 deep-rooted beliefs like “I’m not good enough”
Work-related stress, burnout, or a pattern of 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.
