Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing

 EMDR is a therapy approach that helps people work through difficult or overwhelming experiences in a way that feels supportive and manageable. When experiences don’t fully get processed, they can stay “stuck,” showing up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, or negative beliefs about yourself. EMDR helps the brain do the work it naturally wants to do—heal and integrate.

In EMDR therapy, you and your therapist move at a pace that feels safe and intentional. You may be guided through gentle eye movements or tapping while briefly focusing on parts of a memory, but you don’t have to share details you’re not ready to talk about. Over time, many people notice that memories feel less intense, reactions soften, and there’s more space to respond to the present rather than being pulled back into the past.

EMDR is collaborative and client-led. Your comfort, consent, and sense of safety guide the process every step of the way.
