EMDR Therapy

Still struggling with the past.

Ever had upsetting memories that you can’t seem to “get over”?

They keep showing up, like uninvited intruders. They cause all kinds of emotional stress and negative physical reactions, often for many years.

If you’re tired of being “stuck” by your past and not able to move forward, it’s time to regain control and rebuild your life.

EMDR therapy could help you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a scientifically proven and unique clinical treatment that heals the impact of traumatic and other upsetting life events.

EMDR therapy has successfully helped over a million individuals. It is a one-of-a-kind therapy that can provide dramatic and rapid improvement in your life.

EMDR was first used to treat PTSD and other trauma issues. Today it is used to treat a wide range of common mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and general psychological distress.

How does EMDR therapy work?

Unresolved traumatic experiences remain “frozen” in the brain. Its natural coping mechanism has overloaded the brain, and it needs to literally “reprocess” what happened.

Using repeated sets of back-and-forth eye movements, EMDR therapy helps the brain’s natural healing ability to reprocess the disturbing memory. It is like the way our mind processes during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, except you are fully awake and present.

The intensity of emotional distress decreases dramatically, and the related memories virtually become neutralized. Essentially, you still have the same memories but without the negative emotional charge attached to them.

EMDR therapy brings you to hope and to heal.

Who benefits from EMDR therapy?

EMDR is used to help people of all ages and has been successfully used to treat PTSD. However, it is also helpful with issues such as anxiety, panic, stress, grief, and depression.

Complicated issues can also be addressed positively with EMDR: Intimate Partner Violence, Sexual Assault, Anger, Chronic Pain, and Addictions.

Are all EMDR therapists the same?

Many therapists have only minimal training and skill using EMDR treatment.

I am certified in EMDR, which means that I have gone through significantly more education, training, consultation, and application of these skills. Therefore, I have extensive experience and competence as an EMDR therapist.

An advanced EMDR clinician is especially important when dealing with more complex trauma issues such as adults who were abused in childhood.

Certification in EMDR is very important to look for in a therapist.

EMDR therapy is empowering and can change your life!

A sense of calm and relief replace desperation from trauma.

The weight of the past is lifted off your shoulders.

Brokenness is restored to beauty and joy.

Fear and shame turn to courage and self-acceptance.

Confusion becomes clarity. Sorrow turns to happiness.
