What is EMDR?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a type of therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. When something upsetting happens, your brain can sometimes struggle to process it fully, leaving you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

EMDR works by helping your brain "reprocess" these memories. During a session, your therapist will guide you to focus on a troubling memory while using side-to-side eye movements, tapping, or sounds. This process helps your brain change how it stores the memory, so it feels less intense or painful. Over time, this can help you feel calmer and more in control of your emotions.

Originally developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR has been extensively researched and is now used to help with a wide range of challenges, including:

Childhood trauma or abuse
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression
Grief and loss
Phobias
Performance anxiety
Relationship struggles
Medical traumal.

When we experience trauma, our brain’s natural ability to process and store memories can become overwhelmed. As a result, distressing memories may remain “stuck,” showing up later as flashbacks, nightmares, intense emotional reactions, or negative beliefs about ourselves (e.g., “I’m not safe,” “I’m broken,” “It was my fault”).

EMDR is not about reliving trauma—it’s about safely unlocking the brain’s natural ability to heal. Many clients report that after EMDR, they feel lighter, less reactive, and more present in their everyday lives. The changes often feel subtle but deeply transformational.

EMDR therapy helps unlock these stuck memories. During a session, we’ll work together to identify target memories, explore current triggers, and strengthen your inner resources. With bilateral stimulation, your brain is able to reprocess the memory and store it in a way that no longer causes distress. Clients often report feeling lighter, more empowered, and less reactive after EMDR sessions.

Is EMDR Right for You?

Life’s challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by emotions we can’t seem to shake. EMDR therapy is here to help you find relief and healing.

Are you struggling with past trauma or painful memories? EMDR can help you process those experiences so they no longer hold you back.
Does anxiety or constant worry make it hard to enjoy life? EMDR works to calm your mind and bring a sense of peace.
Are you dealing with addiction or unhealthy habits? EMDR helps uncover and heal the emotional triggers behind those behaviors.
Do you feel lost after a loss or a major life change? EMDR can help you move through grief and find hope again.
Is low self-esteem or stress keeping you from feeling your best? EMDR helps rebuild confidence and ease tension.

EMDR is also effective for performance anxiety, sleep issues, and feelings of being “stuck” in recurring emotional patterns. It can help you feel more grounded, emotionally resilient, and better equipped to navigate life’s ups and downs.

You don’t have to face these struggles alone. EMDR offers a way to work through what’s holding you back so you can feel lighter, stronger, and more in control of your life.

What Clients Often Experience After EMDR

Clients often report profound shifts after EMDR, such as:

Feeling calmer and more emotionally stable
Reduced emotional reactivity or triggers
Increased self-confidence and self-compassion
Clearer thinking and decision-making
Greater emotional freedom in relationships
Better sleep and reduced anxiety

Many describe it as life-changing—like “a weight has been lifted” or “the memory is still there, but it no longer controls me".
