EMDR Therapy
A Structured Way to Move Through What’s Stuck
EMDR Is Weird. It Works Anyway.
You don’t have to understand it yet. You just have to feel safe enough to explore.
Talking about what hurt you is only part of the story. EMDR invites the rest—what your body felt, what your emotions held, what words didn’t reach.
It also invites the strategies you relied on to survive: the vigilance, the shutdown, the people-pleasing, the perfectionism. The parts of you that scanned the room, softened your voice, stayed small, stayed alert. These were never flaws—they were protection. And EMDR makes space for those parts, too.
Because healing isn’t just about letting go of what hurt. It’s about honoring what kept you here. And slowly, gently, allowing your system to learn that it no longer has to brace for impact.
We’ll move slow on purpose. Not because I’m trying to hold you back, but because the nervous system needs time to build trust—with the process, and with itself.
We spend time resourcing: building internal anchors, noticing regulation cues, learning what “too much” feels like before we get there. And just as importantly—learning that you can visit difficult experiences and feelings in an embodied way, and return with more self-compassion. I call it going slow to go fast. And it’s one of the most important parts of the work.
A lot of people think EMDR sounds… weird. And honestly? It kind of is. Following hand movements, tapping your arms or legs, noticing body sensations while thinking about something painful? It’s not exactly intuitive. That’s why I offer a lot of psychoeducation when we’re getting started—not just about trauma, but about EMDR itself. I’ll explain how it works, what to expect, and how we’ll adapt it so it feels as tolerable and grounded as possible.
So I invite you to be weird with me—curious, skeptical, cautious, open. You don’t have to believe in it right away. You just have to feel safe enough to explore.
What I’ve Learned From Listening
EMDR doesn’t just work with memories—it works with patterns, beliefs, body states, and moments your system didn’t know how to process at the time.
I’ve used EMDR to support people living with agoraphobia, complex trauma, chronic pain, performance anxiety, panic, medical trauma, and the quiet grief of never having felt fully safe in relationship. Sometimes we begin with a memory. Other times, we start with a body sensation, a recurring fear, or a stuck belief: I’m not enough, I have to be perfect to be loved. I am responsible for everything and everyone.
Talking about what hurt you is only part of the story. EMDR invites the rest—what your body felt, what your emotions held, what words didn’t reach. The story might still be there—but your body doesn’t have to brace for it anymore.

My Philosophy of Care
Therapy with me is spacious, relational, and grounded in warmth, humor, and compassion.
When we’re doing EMDR—sometimes weird, always attuned.
