EMDR therapy
Integrative EMDR for steady, lasting growth
EMDR therapy for deeper, embodied change.
Working with how experiences are held in the nervous system and body,
so healing can be felt — not just understood.
EMDR therapy offers a way to work with experiences that haven’t fully resolved through insight alone. Some people come to EMDR with a clear understanding of their history and patterns. Others simply know that something doesn’t feel settled yet, even if they can’t explain why. In both cases, the work begins by building safety and stability, while staying closely attuned to what’s being held in the nervous system.
Experiences of trauma, loss, or prolonged stress can continue to shape emotional and relational responses long after the events themselves have passed. EMDR supports the nervous system’s natural capacity to process and integrate experiences, allowing healing to settle at a deeper, embodied level.
When EMDR Therapy may be a good fit
EMDR therapy may be supportive if you find yourself…
reacting with anxiety, shame, or overwhelm that feels hard to regulate
carrying the impact of loss or difficult experiences that haven’t fully settled
noticing patterns in relationships that repeat despite awareness and effort
struggling with low self-esteem, shame, or a persistent sense of not being “enough,” even when you understand where it comes from
feeling disconnected from your body or emotions under stress
sensing that something is unfinished, even without a clear story
You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on to begin. A felt sense that something isn’t resolved yet is enough.

Integrative
My work is grounded in a polyvagal-informed, parts-aware approach, with close attention to safety, regulation, nervous system capacity, and the needs of different parts throughout the process. This integrative lens allows us to engage with challenging material in a way that feels contained and responsive, rather than overwhelming.
How I work with EMDR.
My approach is:
Adaptive
Rather than following a rigid protocol, I adapt EMDR to the person in front of me. Sessions integrate nervous system awareness, emotional experience, and relational context, allowing processing to unfold at a pace that feels supportive and aligned — without force or pressure.
Relational
Throughout the work, I’m active and engaged in the process. I help support the flow of what’s emerging, offer steadiness and containment when needed, and reflect patterns when it’s helpful — always in service of integration and forward movement.
How EMDR Supports Integration
Letting the nervous system lead.
EMDR therapy is not about reliving painful experiences or rehashing details. It’s about allowing the nervous system to complete processes that were interrupted by overwhelm, so experiences can be more fully integrated.
Over time, clients often notice:
emotional reactions becoming less intense or disruptive
greater steadiness and safety in the body
triggers losing their charge or disappearing altogether
increased ease and confidence in one’s self and in relationships
a felt sense that the past has more distance from the present
Healing unfolds at a pace that respects both your resilience and your limits.
What to expect.
EMDR therapy begins with taking time to understand your history, current supports, and how your nervous system responds to stress. We move into processing only when there’s enough steadiness and trust in place.
Sessions are collaborative and responsive. Some sessions are quieter and grounding; others are more active. You remain in control of the pace, and we continually check in about what feels supportive.
EMDR may be used as a primary modality or thoughtfully woven into other therapeutic work, depending on your needs.

Your nervous system knows how to heal.
but you don’t have to do it alone.
Here’s how we begin together.
If this approach resonates, next step is to schedule a consultation call. This is a brief conversation to connect, answer any initial questions, and note anything important you’d like me to know.
From there, we’ll schedule an initial session to explore your experience more fully and see if working together feels like a good fit.
