EMDR Therapy
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a brain-based approach to trauma healing. When difficult experiences happen, the memory—along with the sensations, emotions, and beliefs attached to it—can get stuck in your nervous system. Your body holds what your mind can't fully process.
EMDR helps your brain complete what it couldn't finish in the moment of trauma. Through bilateral stimulation (typically guided eye movements), we activate both hemispheres of your brain, allowing the memory to be reprocessed and stored in a way that no longer triggers distress.
You don't have to relive the trauma in detail. EMDR works with your body's natural capacity to heal.
What to expect
EMDR unfolds in phases—preparation, targeting specific memories, reprocessing, and integration. Many clients experience significant relief in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy alone.
Who EMDR is for
EMDR is particularly effective if you're experiencing:
PTSD or Complex Trauma – Whether from a single event or years of relational wounds, EMDR helps your nervous system release what it's been carrying.
Anxiety – If worry, panic, or hypervigilance feel like they're running your life, EMDR can help calm the activation at its root.
Depression – When sadness or numbness is tied to unresolved pain, EMDR addresses the underlying memories fueling your symptoms.
Relational or Attachment Issues – If you struggle with trust, intimacy, or feeling safe in relationships, EMDR can heal the early experiences that shaped these patterns.
People-Pleasing or Chronic Self-Abandonment – If you constantly override your own needs to keep others comfortable, EMDR helps you reconnect to your worth and reclaim your voice.
EMDR works because it speaks the language of your nervous system—not just your thoughts. If you've tried talk therapy and still feel stuck, this may be the missing piece.
How I offer EMDR therapy
-
Healing doesn't require you to leave your home. I offer secure, effective online EMDR therapy for clients in Florida and Georgia.
From your own space—where your nervous system already feels safe—we can do deep, transformative work together.
-
For those seeking faster results or whose schedules don't allow for weekly sessions, I offer EMDR intensives: 2-5 full or half days of focused, uninterrupted trauma processing.
Intensives allow your nervous system the time and space it needs to move through difficult memories without stopping midstream. Instead of carrying activation between sessions for days or weeks, you complete the cycle in real time. Many clients experience profound shifts in a matter of days rather than months.
We'll collaborate to design an intensive that fits your needs, your capacity, and your goals.
-
When EMDR is combined with ketamine, something powerful happens: the medicine helps your nervous system soften its defenses while EMDR guides the reprocessing work.
Ketamine creates neuroplasticity—your brain becomes more receptive to change. EMDR provides the structure to reorganize trauma at the root. Together, they offer one of the most effective approaches available for complex or treatment-resistant trauma.
This integrated method is especially helpful for memories that feel "stuck," highly charged, or too overwhelming to approach through talk therapy alone.
Is EMDR right for you?
If you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, or painful memories that feel stuck—EMDR may offer the breakthrough your nervous system has been waiting for.
