You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s sticking.

Maybe you’ve been to therapy before, and you’ve done the work, but the same pain still shows up. You might notice yourself talking about the same memories or patterns without feeling real change inside. It can be frustrating to wonder why healing isn’t happening as quickly as you hoped. You may be feeling frustrated or even question if something is wrong with you for still feeling stuck. The truth is, getting stuck is a normal part of the healing process, and it doesn’t mean therapy has failed. It often just means your mind and body need a different approach to help unlock what talking alone hasn’t been able to shift.

are you still feeling…

Weighed down by the painful memories that don’t seem to lose their grip.


Old thoughts and patterns are repeating despite how hard you worked to change them.


Disconnected and struggling to feel peace, confidence, and relief fully.

What to expect with EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy can help you release the weight of painful memories and create space for peace, confidence, and living fully in the present.

EMDR is an evidence-based method that has been proven to reduce the impact of trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. It works by helping your brain safely reprocess experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming. Here is what to expect…

  • In this phase, we explore your background, symptoms, and goals to design a personalized EMDR treatment plan. This ensures therapy is tailored to your unique needs and experiences.

  • You’ll learn grounding tools and coping strategies to help you feel safe and supported throughout EMDR therapy. This step builds trust and gives you confidence in the process.

  • Together, we identify the specific memories, images, and beliefs connected to your distress. This creates a clear focus so healing work can be targeted and effective.

  • Using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or tones), your brain begins to process painful memories. Over time, the emotional intensity decreases, helping you feel calmer and more in control.

  • Together, we will strengthen positive beliefs to replace old, negative patterns linked to your trauma. This phase helps you internalize healthier perspectives and move forward with resilience.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, whether you’re facing grief, trauma, anxiety, or stress, EMDR can help your brain and body let go of what’s been keeping you stuck.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps your brain heal from painful memories and experiences. When something upsetting happens, your brain can get “stuck,” making those memories feel just as intense as when they first happened. EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of gentle stimulation to help your brain reprocess these memories, so they feel less overwhelming and more like part of your past. This allows you to reflect on difficult experiences without being overwhelmed by them.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help you feel more at ease with your past, so it no longer feels like it’s running your life.

Many people find they feel lighter, more in control, and more hopeful as they move through the process. EMDR makes it easier to move forward and enjoy life with more peace. You can begin to feel like you again.
