EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Chronic Stress

When we feel chronically stuck in a state of either anxiety or depression, most often there is a reason we don't look to or understand. Often we instead blame ourselves, feel ashamed to ask for help, and become even more stuck.
But there is a reason we get stuck, and it lies in our bodies and our life experiences. This reason is trauma. Trauma is an overwhelming experience that seriously compromises our feeling of safety in the world. Trauma can range from a car accident or one-time event in adulthood, to a series of events in childhood, to living conditions that chronically undermine a feeling of safety and security.
Trauma triggers biological processes in our brains and bodies and it is absolutely not your fault. And it is something you can heal.
I use an evidence-based modality called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process and heal from traumatic events and experiences. EMDR is backed by extensive research and is a powerful and effective way to move past feelings of being stuck or held captive by the past. I can help you resolve old issues, build greater emotional resiliency, optimism, and freedom to move forwards with the life you really want.
EMDR is also effective for those of us (most Americans!) who live with chronic stress: nervous systems in a state of constant activation. Do you have a hard time getting to sleep, wake up in the middle of the night or early morning and can't get back to sleep? Notice your body feeling chronically tight, shoulders up by your ears, a sense of just trying to hold it together? Constant worries about the future, a sense of unease in the world? These are all symptoms of chronic stress and we can work together to shift these patterns so you can live your life again.
If you are nervous about taking this next step, that is completely normal. And if you found your way to this page feeling like it is time for a change, or with a tiny spark that your life could be different - let's talk. You can schedule a 30 minute free consult via the link below.
