Are you healing from trauma?
You had a chaotic childhood, or are overcoming an incident that threw you for a loop. Sometimes people aren't even aware what they experienced was traumatic. You might have symptoms like panic attacks, anxiety, binge eating – the list goes on. We can work together using a highly effective tool called EMDR to help you heal as fast as possible.
Do You Recognize Yourself?
- You feel on edge, hypervigilant, or easily startled — even when you're safe
- Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories keep pulling you back into the past
- You avoid certain places, people, or situations because they trigger overwhelming emotions
- You feel disconnected from yourself, numb, or like you're going through the motions
- You struggle to trust people or let anyone get too close
- You know logically that something wasn't your fault, but you can't stop feeling like it was
- Anxiety or panic attacks seem to come out of nowhere
How I Can Help
I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy specifically designed for trauma. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge — without requiring you to relive every detail.
Whether you're dealing with a single traumatic event, complex trauma from childhood, or the lasting effects of an abusive relationship, I'll meet you where you are and work at a pace that feels safe. My approach is warm but direct — I won't let you stay stuck, and I won't push you faster than you're ready.
EMDR is particularly effective for PTSD, panic attacks, childhood abuse, grief, and phobias. Many clients experience meaningful relief faster than with talk therapy alone.
What to Expect
We'll start with a thorough assessment to understand your history, your symptoms, and your goals. From there, I'll create a personalized treatment plan — typically combining EMDR with other evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs.
Sessions are 50 minutes and available both in-person and online. Many clients begin to notice shifts within the first few weeks, though deeper trauma work unfolds over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories. Instead of talking through events over and over, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain file away distressing memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional reactions. Most clients notice a shift within the first few sessions.
No. One of the benefits of EMDR is that you don’t need to share every detail of your experience for it to work. I’ll guide you through the process at a pace that feels safe, and you’re always in control of what you share.
It depends on what you’re working through. Some clients experience significant relief in 8–12 sessions, while complex or childhood trauma may benefit from longer-term work. We’ll set clear goals and check in regularly on your progress.
Yes. Research shows that online EMDR and trauma therapy are just as effective as in-person sessions for most people. Many of my clients prefer the comfort and convenience of working from home, especially when processing difficult material.
