EMDR

I completed 40 hours of EMDR training through the EMDR Institute, Inc. and 10 hours of consultation hours with two certified EMDR consultants. I have been using EMDR in sessions since 2021.

I am currently in EMDR Therapy training and am offering this service as I pursue certification. I also offer couples EMDR.

EMDR is focused on reprocessing past memories related to trauma or adversity. Every single therapist and intern on our team is trained in EMDR and multiple of our therapists are credentialed as EMDR consultants. EMDR is the most frequently provided therapy at our center. We also offer EMDR individual intensives.

EMDR is a wonderful therapy created by Francine Shapiro that works by using bilateral stimulation to help unlock trauma from your nervous system and heal. We'll work together and take a history and discover what your presenting complaints are and what traumatic memories are associated with your current symptoms. Then we'll focus on you experiencing relaxation protocols to release stress as well as diving into a gentle exploration of your trauma history at your own pace.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) can be a gift to those affected by trauma. It is an evidence based approach designed to address past or recent trauma that may be affecting your ability to function in areas such as work, school and relationships. EMDR can also be used to address other issues such as anxiety and depression.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reproccessing. This process uses something called Billateral Stimulation (essentially your eyes follow an object moving back and forth). This process helps intergrate trauma into your memories instead of laying stuck in your body and brain. Reesearch shows that EMDR helps prevent the fight/flight/freeze responses from activiating when one expereinces a sensation that resembles the trauma event.

I am a trained EMDR clinician and am equipped to provide this form of treatment via telehealth. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Many people find relief through EMDR faster than traditional talk therapy.

I have extensive experience utilizing EMDR, both for the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, as well as applying the principles underlying EMDR to effectively treat mood disorders, anxiety, substance use disorders, binge eating, OCD, impulsivity, and avoidance.

I am trained in EMDR and utilize this evidence based approach to treating trauma to target your thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, feelings, sensations that are past, present, and future oriented and impacting your life negatively. This is done through a reprocessing of these targets that allows them to be processed in a way that they no longer have a negative impact on your life.

I have completed EMDR training through the EMDR International Association in order to be able to provide this life changing treatment to my clients who are having difficulty moving on from negative past experiences. EMDR is best known as a treatment for trauma, and can be used to treat symptoms of PTSD, but it can also help reduce distress associated with any negative past experience and can help people begin to see themselves in a more neutral or positive light.

EMDR is a less intimidating way of working through trauma. With EMDR, very little attention is given to the actual event. We now know that it is not the actual event that causes the continued distress, rather it is our take-away. For example, if your were in a car accident two years ago and you still find it difficult to drive on interstates, the accident is not our focus, rather, your visceral sense that "I'm not safe" is the focus. If you want to stop reliving your trauma, contact me today.

EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience to bring these to an adaptive resolution and improved functioning. Overwhelming, negative emotions and beliefs are reformulated, thereby freeing a person to be the best and fullest expression of themselves. Your experience of trauma can truly be something of the past.

Several EMDR trained clinicians

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma.

I was trained through the EMDR Institute and have used EMDR to help many people who felt that talk therapy alone didn't help them recover from trauma.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1980s that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In EMDR, the person being treated recalls distressing experiences while simultaneously performing bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movement or physical stimulation, such as tapping either side of the body.

EMDR is an evidence-based approach for treating PTSD and other symptoms related to trauma. In my practice, I pair EMDR therapy with Internal Family Systems to help you process particularly activating or traumatic experiences that continue impact your life. I often describe EMDR as being able to help with the "translation problem" - when you know in your head that they are safe, not at fault, etc. but don't feel this way in your heart.
