EMDR

EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience to bring these to an adaptive resolution and improved functioning. Overwhelming, negative emotions and beliefs are reformulated, thereby freeing a person to be the best and fullest expression of themselves. Your experience of trauma can truly be something of the past.

Trauma can affect every aspect of our lives. I am trained in EMDR, a highly effective therapy for processing and healing from traumatic experiences. In my practice I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is a gentle yet profound approach to understanding and healing the different parts of ourselves. I can guide you in exploring and harmonizing your inner world.

EMDR focuses on the individual’s present concerns. The EMDR approach believes past emotionally-charged experiences, trauma and disturbing event(s), are overly influencing your present emotions and thoughts about yourself. Basically, emotional development can get 'stuck' at the point of the trauma and/or event(s). EMDR targets the disturbing memories and utilizes bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to re-activate the brain and allow adaptive processing to resume towards resolution.

I employ EMDR to help clients process trauma by using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, sounds) to reprocess distressing memories and emotions. This approach reduces their impact, alleviates symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and fosters emotional healing and resilience.

I am certified in EMDR therapy to help clients heal from trauma, especially related to cultural transitions, intergenerational expectations, and family dynamics. As an immigrant and licensed therapist, I understand how trauma can deeply affect cultural identity. My approach is compassionate and evidence-based, guiding clients through the EMDR process to reprocess difficult experiences, break free from negative patterns, and rebuild their sense of safety and self-worth.

EMDR stands for Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. It is a body mind integrated therapy that has been proven to be highly effective for those who have experienced trauma. I practice somatic an attachment focused EMDR, which allows the client to process distressing memories with less resistance.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Studies and my experience show EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. This treatment can be used for trauma, anxiety, life stressors and more. EMDR is my primary treatment modality

The brain has a natural ability to heal itself. But sometimes, past experiences and associated memories get stuck. EMDR is a brain-based approach that helps to process those stuck points and offers rapid relief. EMDR is less talk and more brain-based processing, but it is a wonderful compliment to more traditional talk therapy.

I am EMDR trained and utilize this modality to help clients work through traumatic experiences without having to retell the entire story since that may be more triggering than not.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is evidence-based intervention supporting individuals with reprocessing past stories, trauma and events so we can develop healthy coping strategies. EMDR is used for wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD. As your therapist, I will support you step by step with the EMDR process. We will take time to learn a few techniques before we start a full EMDR session so you feel equipped in this process.

EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and proven effective for trauma-related conditions, helping clients process and integrate traumatic experiences while reducing symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and emotional distress. If you are seeking an evidence-based treatment for trauma, EMDR may be a valuable option to consider for enhancing emotional well-being and recovery.

EMDR is a powerful approach that helps you process difficult experiences and reduce their ongoing impact on your life. Whether you're dealing with specific traumas, persistent anxiety, or feeling stuck in old patterns, EMDR can help create new neural pathways for healing. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain process difficult memories and experiences. Clients often report feeling lighter and more capable of facing life's challenges.
