“The past affects the present even without our being aware of it.”

Francine Shapiro

EMDR

Clients often feel frustrated by the gap between what they logically know and how they emotionally react, sensing a conflict between the two. They may recognize that a response feels disproportionate, yet not understand its roots or how to shift it. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation to engage the whole brain, helping reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.

Clients often begin EMDR with understandable skepticism, yet many describe the process as meditative or dream-like. It can accelerate breakthroughs and “a-ha” moments, sometimes creating shifts in awareness and behavior more quickly than talk therapy alone.

EMDR is best utilized with clients to treat:

  • Past and Present Trauma (sexual abuse, neglect, emotional and physical abuse, and random
    traumatizing events in life).

  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

  • Anxiety, including Panic Attacks

  • Depression

  • Grief

  • Accepting Role Transitions

  • Addressing Ambivalence

  • Enhancing overall Self-Esteem and Self-Worth

  • ​Postpartum Depression and Anxiety
