Heal What’s Holding You Back
And create a life that is fully yours.
Years after a car wreck, stressful fight with your parent, or frightening life experience, you still find yourself riddled with panic anytime you remember the event. Even though it’s not still currently happening to you, you may experience side effects as if you were still trapped in that environment.
Specific sounds, places, or even smells bring you right back to that event that left you shaking, sweating, scared, and anxious. Even waking up from a dream about your trauma can cause you to tailspin into a panic attack.
Regardless of what type of trauma you experienced, EMDR can help you.
EMDR is an extensively researched and extremely effective method of resolving trauma.
When we experience a traumatic event, our brains naturally go into fight, flight, or freeze mode to help keep us safe and get through the experience alive. During the event, we don’t file the memories away the same way that we do when we have a positive experience. So when we interact with anything that triggers memory of the traumatic event, we can instantly go right back into fight, flight, or freeze, as if the event is happening all over again.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can help you fully process a traumatic event so that memories of the event do not disrupt your life. This method of trauma resolution utilizes sensory input, such as eye movement, to help your brain reprocess what happened to you. Throughout EMDR therapy, you’ll begin to make different connections and associations with your traumatic memories.
Virtual EMDR is possible, and in some cases can even be more effective. During virtual EMDR, we will be able to walk through the same processes as if we were meeting in person. But since you will be in the comfort of your own home, you may find that EMDR is even more effective because you will be more relaxed and not as ‘on guard’ as if we were in an office together.

You, me, your mom’s great aunt Patsy. Literally, just about everyone can benefit from EMDR therapy.
A lot of times we think that trauma is some big, life threatening event. And that if we’ve never been physically assaulted, or survived a plane crash, we’ve never experienced trauma, but that’s not true.
Trauma can be any event that overwhelmed your emotions, thoughts, or body. It is an event that you were unable to cope with and feels stuck.
