Most memories get hung up neatly, easy to grab when you need them.
But a traumatic memory? It turns into a tangled ball of clothes in the back of the closet. It’s a mess.
EMDR helps untangle the mess, and put it back neatly.
It doesn’t erase the memory—but it helps your brain store it in a way that feels calm and organized, instead of overwhelming. EMDR can help you gently sort through the mess and make room for peace.
When you're ready, we're here to walk with you.

What is EMDR?
-
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—like side-to-side eye movements, tapping, or sounds—while you briefly focus on a distressing memory. This helps the brain process and “unstick” the memory so it feels less intense and overwhelming.
-
EMDR is widely used to treat:
PTSD and trauma
Anxiety and panic
Grief and loss
Phobias
Childhood abuse or neglect
Performance anxiety
Relationship and attachment issues
-
During a session, your therapist will guide you to briefly bring the memory to mind while you also engage in bilateral stimulation—this often involves moving your eyes side to side, tapping, or hearing alternating tones. This back-and-forth movement mimics the natural processing that happens during REM sleep, when your brain sorts through and stores emotional information.
Over time, the memory begins to lose its emotional charge. It doesn’t disappear, but it becomes something that feels more distant, more manageable. You might gain new insight, feel lighter, or find that the triggers no longer hold the same power.
What’s most important is that EMDR is done at your pace, with care and support. The goal isn’t to relive trauma, but to gently help your brain do what it was built to do: heal.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) supports your mind’s natural ability to heal, so you can feel more at ease, more present, and more connected to yourself. EMDR helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional distress by reprocessing difficult memories in a safe and effective way.
Whether you’re holding onto something from the past or simply going through a challenging time, you don’t have to go through it alone—we’re here with you.
