EMDR Therapy for Trauma & Emotional Overwhelm
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other overwhelming life experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation — such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds — to help your brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel as triggering, intense, or stuck.
EMDR doesn’t erase what happened. Instead, it helps your nervous system fully process those experiences so they no longer disrupt your daily life — emotionally, physically, or relationally.
This approach is especially helpful for:
Childhood trauma or abuse
Medical trauma
Anxiety and panic
Postpartum distress or traumatic birth
Grief and complicated loss
Disturbing or persistent memories
Emotional numbing or shutdown
What to Expect in EMDR Therapy
Our work will always begin with a calm, collaborative intake process where we explore your goals, needs, and what you’re hoping to heal. You do not need to share every detail of your trauma — EMDR allows us to work in a way that honors your story without retraumatizing.
Before we begin reprocessing, we’ll spend time developing grounding skills and inner resources so you feel supported and in control. Once you’re ready, we’ll gently begin the EMDR process — helping your brain “file away” the unresolved pain so that it no longer runs in the background of your life.
