  • Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    You’ve done the work…or at least it looks that way from the outside.

    You’re insightful, self-aware, and can talk through your story with clarity. You understand where your feelings come from. You can name the patterns, connect the dots, even explain why you react the way you do. 

    And yet, when certain moments hit - when you feel criticized, overwhelmed, unseen, or out of control - it feels as if something in you takes over.

    Your reactions feel bigger than the moment. Your thoughts are coming too fast, making them harder to control or stop. 

    Afterward, you often find yourself wondering, “Why did that bother me so much?” or “Why do I keep doing the same things over and over again?” or “Will I be doing this forever?”

    Even though your mind understands, your body is still holding onto something unresolved. Old experiences that were never fully processed are still living beneath the surface, shaping how you currently feel, react, and move through life.

    That’s where EMDR (or Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) comes in.

“A memory without the emotional charge is called WISDOM.” 
- Joe Dispenza

  • EMDR offers a different kind of healing. One that doesn’t rely on more talking, but on allowing the body to finally process what it didn’t get the chance to before. Through gentle, guided bilateral stimulation (back-and-forth movement), we begin to bridge the gap between what you know and what you feel in 8 steps:

Over time, those triggers soften. Intensity shifts. What once felt overwhelming begins to feel manageable. And instead of reacting from old wounds, you’re able to respond from a more grounded, present place.

It’s not about erasing what happened. It’s about changing how it lives inside of your body, and you move through your life with more ease, clarity, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself.

  • Mindfulness / Holistic-Based Practices

    I truly believe in the mind / body / soul connection when it comes to making lasting changes and growing.

    Staying stuck in the past for too long can foster depressive symptoms. But focusing too far into the future can increase anxiety symptoms. I use mindfulness to bring us back to the present so you fully experience your day-to-day thoughts, body sensations, and feelings.

    I love integrating Western and Eastern practices into my work, incorporating spirituality (if that’s your vibe), and utilizing all the “finding yourself” tools out there such as:

  • Myers-Briggs

  • Enneagrams

  • Human Design

    The more you research and learn your archetypes, the more you understand of yourself and how you move in the world.
