Feeling like life’s running you? Time to flip the script.

Something Feels Off. And You Can’t Put Your Finger on It.

You’re the one who always has it together—the problem-solver, the rock, the go-to person. But lately…you’re not.

Crying in the bathroom. Hiding from your family. Scrolling endlessly to escape yourself. Heartache that has no words. Irritability that surprises even you. That pit in your stomach—you can’t shake it—and not knowing why makes you feel out of control, inadequate, like you’re failing yourself and everyone around you.

Work used to give you focus, purpose. Now it’s just another chore. You’re not showing up as the woman, mother, or partner you know you can be. And it’s exhausting.

It’s okay. You’re not broken. You’re ready to uncover what’s really going on—and finally feel like yourself again.

FAQS

What others have wondered about EMDR Therapy.

 

  • “The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places” Ernest Hemingway.

    EMDR is highly researched in the mental health field and uses evidenced-based techniques in therapy.

    Sometimes we have experiences that change our beliefs about ourselves, and after a while, we start to believe that story/belief about ourselves. People perceive trauma as a big event such as a natural disaster, sexual abuse, or physical/mental abuse. But it is NOT! Trauma could be a young girl needing help but getting shot down and told to buckle up and deal with it. Or a young person gets made fun of in class for the way they look and dress outside their control.

    When we have a trauma response, we are usually in shame. We are social creatures, and our brain is wired for connection.

    These traumatic experiences and memory networks are stored in our brains. Our brain is wired to store these stories/memories with our physical sensations, images, thoughts, feelings, etc. There is communication between our amygdala (alarm system for stressful events), the hippocampus (assist with learning, memories about safety and danger), and the pre-frontal cortex (control behaviors and emotions). Most of the time, the brain can naturally work through the traumatic event and does not cause stress responses.

    Sometimes, our brain cannot process the event without help. Our minds can trick us into thinking that we are reliving painful experiences. EMDR brain helps the brain reprocess our fight, flight, freeze response and restore balance.

    In my experience, clients tend to blame themselves for their blockages, yet it is a brain thing, which means that different levels of stress influence the brain and get stuck in the nervous system. We are working on the neurological rewiring of your brain, which leads to you changing your negative pattern to nourishing and feeding your life.

  • After history taking, we identify the negative beliefs around the traumatic event (I am not safe, I do not have value, I am not enough, I am not worthy). Then, we use a 30-second rapid eye movement set to help you move through those beliefs, and we identify the positive beliefs you want to move to cultivate in your life.

  • This is based on your needs and your motivation for change. The more you do the work, exercises, process feelings, and practice the skills, the more you benefit from therapy.

    I’ll check in with you every three months to see how you’re doing and the progress you feel you’re making.
