EMDR Therapy:
What to Expect

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach to healing from trauma, anxiety, and deeply rooted emotional distress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and sensations, allowing you to heal from the emotional impact of past experiences.

In EMDR sessions, we’ll target specific memories or feelings that continue to affect you in the present. Through guided bilateral stimulation (often using eye movements, tapping, or sounds), the brain’s natural healing processes are activated, helping to reduce the emotional charge of those experiences.

Clients often report feeling relief, clarity, and emotional freedom after processing traumatic or difficult memories. EMDR can help you move beyond "just coping" and into truly resolving the emotional wounds that hold you back.

Our work together will proceed at a pace that feels safe and manageable, always prioritizing your readiness and well-being.
