EMDR Therapy
Healing From Within
What is EMDR?
EMDR is an extensively researched and effective psychotherapy proven to help people recover from the result of trauma or distressing life experiences. Rather than talking, EMDR uses eye movements and other forms of stimulation to activate the brain’s ability to resolve these concerns. Instead of directly addressing emotions, thoughts, and responses resulting from the traumatic experiences, EMDR focuses directly on memory. This type of therapy is intended to change the way that memory is stored in the brain. This will reduce and eliminate the problematic symptoms.
What is Somatic EMDR?
Somatic EMDR is an integrative approach that combines the power of EMDR therapy with the wisdom of Somatic experiencing. Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body, recognizing that emotional issues and trauma are often stored in the body. By incorporating Somatic techniques into EMDR therapy, we address both the psychological and physiological aspects of healing, allowing for a more holistic and profound transformation.

My Story:
I understand the overwhelming weight of emotional struggles and trauma, as I’ve walked that path myself. Through my own journey of healing and self-discovery, I discovered the profound impact of integrating body-centered approaches like Somatic therapy with traditional modalities like EMDR.
Driven by my passion for helping others reclaim their lives from the grip of trauma, I’ve dedicated myself to becoming a compassionate and client-centered therapist. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism or shame.
