Is talk therapy not working for you?

Many women I work with share that traditional talk therapy left them feeling stuck or frustrated. Talking through feelings helps for a while, but it doesn’t always resolve the deeper patterns stored in your brain and nervous system.

EMDR therapy takes a different approach by targeting the root of those struggles, the unprocessed memories and beliefs that keep you trapped in anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. By addressing the root, EMDR often leads to faster, more transformative results.

If you’ve been searching for lasting change instead of surface-level coping, you’re in the right place.

You’re in the right place!

What is EMDR therapy?

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain and body process unhealed experiences. Instead of only talking about your struggles, EMDR works directly with how trauma and anxiety are stored in the nervous system.

    By using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements), EMDR helps release painful memories, shift negative beliefs, and reduce the emotional charge that keeps you feeling stuck.

  • Research shows that EMDR activates your brain’s natural healing process. Studies using brain scans demonstrate changes in areas like:

    • Amygdala (fear center)

    • Hippocampus (memory storage)

    • Prefrontal cortex (calm and reasoning)

    These changes explain why EMDR helps not only with trauma, but also with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and more. Over time, your nervous system learns that it’s safe to let go — so you can respond to life with clarity, calm, and resilience

  • EMDR therapy is highly effective for:

    • Trauma and PTSD

    • Anxiety and panic attacks

    • Perfectionism and high self-expectations

    • People-pleasing or difficulty saying no

    • Low self-worth or “not enough” beliefs

    • Shame or guilt from past experiences

    • Faith-based struggles (for clients who want Christian integration)

  • EMDR is different from traditional talk therapy. Here’s what you can expect:

    • Preparation: We start by building safety and coping tools so you feel grounded.

    • Reprocessing: When you’re ready, we identify memories, beliefs, or triggers that feel stuck and guide your brain through reprocessing with bilateral stimulation.

    • Integration: You’ll notice the memory or belief begins to lose its intensity and you can see it from a healthier perspective.

    Weekly sessions are typically 60 minutes. For clients who want faster progress, I also offer EMDR Breakthrough Sessions or Immersive Sessions that condense months of therapy into a focused timeframe.

  • No. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to describe your traumatic experiences in detail. You can share only what feels safe and necessary. The focus is more on what you feel and believe about the experience than on retelling it.

  • Yes, when facilitated by a trained and experienced EMDR therapist. EMDR can bring up strong emotions or body sensations as the brain processes, but I work with you at a pace that feels manageable. We’ll also build strong coping tools and safety strategies before beginning reprocessing.

  • Yes. EMDR can be effective even if you can’t recall specific memories. We may work with emotional themes, body sensations, or current triggers. Your brain can still reprocess what needs healing without needing a perfectly clear memory.

  • EMDR is a clinical, evidence-based therapy. However, I offer faith-integrated EMDR for clients who want to bring their Christian beliefs into the healing process. We can incorporate prayer, Scripture, or spiritual imagery in a way that supports your faith and your nervous system’s ability to feel safe.

  • An EMDR intensive condenses weeks or months of therapy into a single extended session or series of sessions. Intensives allow for deeper, focused healing without the stop-and-start of weekly therapy. They're ideal if you're feeling stuck, have limited time, or want accelerated progress. I offer intensives for clients who are ready for deeper work and want to invest in focused healing.

FAQs about EMDR

  • EMDR differs from traditional talk therapy by creating real, lasting neurological change. Many clients who have spent years in talk therapy find that EMDR helps them finally process and release the emotional hold of past events. It doesn’t just explore your thoughts, it transforms how those experiences impact you, so they no longer have the same grip on your life.

  • Many clients come to EMDR after years of traditional therapy. EMDR helps access the root of issues—what’s stored in the nervous system—rather than just managing symptoms. If you’ve felt like you've intellectually understood your issues but still feel stuck, EMDR can be a powerful next step.

  • Each session depends on where you are in the process. We may spend time building safety and grounding strategies before moving into trauma processing. Once we begin reprocessing, I’ll guide you through the memory using bilateral stimulation while you notice what comes up. We’ll always go at a pace that feels manageable for you.

  • Getting started is simple! You can reach out to schedule a consultation call, where we will discuss your needs, goals, and any questions you may have, setting the stage for your personalized healing journey together.

  • The duration of therapy can vary significantly based on your individual needs, goals, and the nature of the challenges you are facing. Some clients may find relief and achieve their goals in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a longer-term commitment to explore deeper issues and foster lasting change. Together, we will regularly assess your progress and adjust our approach to ensure you receive the support that best meets your needs on your healing journey.
