APPROACH

INSIDE
THE SESSION

I integrate EMDR and Mindfulness Therapy to help you move through trauma, deepen self-understanding, and create lasting change in your life.

WHAT IS EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is primarily used to treat trauma-related mental health disorders. It’s a combination of techniques—including eye movements, sounds, and tapping—that help you process traumatic memories and overcome emotional dysregulation. It allows those who have long lived with the negative effects of trauma to restore a sense of calm and well-being in their lives.

Results that help you release the long-held patterns holding you back

Deeper awareness

Cultivating awareness allows you to examine and label underlying feelings and emotions that perpetuate negative thought patterns, giving you the ability to observe and respond, rather than react.

Better connection

Often the root cause of our feelings toward others is a mirror to how we feel about ourselves. As you learn how to be more accepting of yourself, you will become more accepting to the people in your life.

Forgiveness and recovery

Our sessions will help you overcome trauma and behaviors related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by reprocessing distressing memories to support living a better life in the present.

Strong sense of self

As you move deeper into emotional regulation, it will deepen your understanding of your true, authentic self and take you from a life of contraction to a life of expansion.

THE CURIOUS PARADOX IS THAT WHEN I ACCEPT MYSELF JUST AS I AM, THEN I CAN CHANGE.
