The echoes of trauma can show up in so many ways—in the anxiety that clouds your day, the painful memories that surface without warning, and the strain it puts on how you see yourself and connect with others. Surviving trauma is one thing; learning how to thrive afterward is a journey.

How does EMDR therapy work?
You might be wondering what actually happens during EMDR therapy. It's a thoughtful and structured process where we work together to help your brain heal. Think of it like this: a traumatic memory is often "stuck" in the brain, causing you to relive the original sights, sounds, and feelings as if they’re still happening. EMDR provides a gentle way to un-stick that memory.
In our sessions, we’ll identify a specific memory to work on. Then, while you hold that memory in mind, you will follow a series of simple eye movements (or other forms of bilateral stimulation, like tapping). This process helps your brain’s natural healing ability kick in, allowing it to reprocess the memory in a way that separates the event from the intense emotional charge. You don't have to talk in detail about the trauma for it to work. The result is that the memory becomes just a memory—something that happened in the past—without the power to hijack your present.
