EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy
 

EMDR is a type of therapy that helps people process difficult life experiences that can impact how they see the world or themselves. When a person experiences a scary, difficult, or traumatic event, unfortunately this experience feel like it lingers. Sometimes individuals have images or feelings pop up in their mind unexpectedly, have nightmares, or feel upset or overwhelmed when thinking about what happened.

Other times individuals feel anxious, on edge, or bad about themselves. Sometimes talking about what happened or learning coping skills doesn’t bring the relief that someone is desiring. EMDR can be a powerful way to process past experiences that are still impacting present life, despite best efforts to put it behind us.

I have been offering EMDR therapy since 2018. In that time, I have been really impressed with the relief that clients experience. It’s not unusual that clients come to me after trying more traditional forms of talk therapy. While clients have usually benefited from past therapy experiences, often these clients feel like they have hit a wall in their healing process. Or their therapist may have sent them over for adjunct EMDR support, knowing that they’re needing something different. It’s been my honor to witness many clients over the years process their past experiences, leaving so much more space and energy for engaging in what’s important to them in their lives.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to see if EMDR is a good fit for you.
