EMDR is recognized worldwide as one of the most effective treatments for trauma and PTSD

EMDR is a proven, evidence-based therapy backed by the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It helps you reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical responses — allowing you to feel calmer, stronger, and more in control of your life.

How EMDR Works

EMDR helps you reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge and stop triggering the same reactions.

In EMDR sessions, you’ll bring specific memories to mind while engaging in gentle, rhythmic eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, like alternating taps on your wrists or knees.

It may sound unusual, but these left-right movements activate both sides of the brain, helping it integrate and “digest” the memory in a new way.

As your brain does this work, the emotional intensity fades, your triggers ease, and you gain the freedom to respond to life with more calm, clarity, and choice.

Getting started is easy — schedule a free consultation, and we’ll talk about your goals and whether EMDR is the right fit for you.
