Our Approach

“I had a lot of insight from years of therapy, but I still felt constantly on edge. EMDR helped my nervous system actually settle, instead of just understanding why I was overwhelmed.”

When talk therapy isn’t enough

Many of our clients come in with a strong understanding of their patterns. They’ve done therapy before. They can name what’s happening, but something still isn’t shifting.

That’s because our patterns don’t just live in thoughts — they live in the nervous system, in relationships, and in how you respond in real time. Our approach is designed to help your patterns shift so change gets out of your brain, and into your body and daily life.

Do your relationship, body, or anxiety patterns feel stuck? Our work is especially well-suited for people who:

  • Understand their patterns, but can’t shift them

  • Experience anxiety or overwhelm beneath the surface

  • Feel stuck in cycles with food, body, or control

  • Feel disconnected from their body, emotions, or sense of self

  • Are looking for therapy that fosters lasting change

You don’t need to have everything figured out, just a willingness to engage with the process.

How EMDR can help

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess how experiences are stored. Rather than only talking about what happened, EMDR works directly with how those experiences are held in the brain and body, so that they’ll no longer carry the same emotional intensity or reactivity.

EMDR is widely used for trauma, and is also effective for anxiety, burnout, and persistent patterns that haven’t shifted with talk therapy alone. Many clients come to us with diagnoses ranging from anxiety and depression to eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, and CPTSD.

We’ll work together, at a pace that feels comfortable for you, to…

Identify what’s stuck: We begin by identifying the experiences, memories, or patterns that continue to feel charged or unresolved.

Process at the level it lives: Using EMDR, we work directly with how those experiences are held in the brain and body — not just how you think about them.

Integrate and shift: Over time, those experiences become less reactive and more integrated, allowing your responses to shift in meaningful ways.

Therapy that helps you connect.

We take an attachment-informed approach, focusing on how patterns form and repeat in relationships — whether with partners, friends, family, or in professional dynamics with colleagues and clients. Because human brains are wired for connection, this work is widely applicable.

Many of the ways we cope, respond, and relate were shaped early on, and continue to show up in current patterns, often outside of awareness. Our work helps bring these patterns into focus and shift them, so relationships can feel more stable, connected, and intentional.

FAQs

We offer both ongoing therapy and focused EMDR intensives, depending on your needs, goals, and availability.

Not sure which option is the right fit? We’re happy to talk through what you’re navigating and decide together.

  • EMDR is a structured, guided process that we move through together. Some sessions are more conversational, while others are more focused.

    During EMDR, we will use bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements, tapping, or alternating tones) to help the brain process and integrate experiences in a different way.

    The pace is always collaborative and adjusted to your comfort, with attention to stability and support throughout.

  • Not at all. While EMDR is widely used for trauma, it is also effective for anxiety, burnout, and patterns that haven’t shifted with talk therapy alone. Many clients come in with a range of experiences and diagnoses, from anxiety and depression to OCD, eating disorders, and trauma-related concerns.

  • If you feel stuck in patterns despite insight or previous therapy, EMDR may be helpful. We can talk through your goals and determine together whether it’s the right approach during a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Please email us to get started, and we’d be happy to help answer any questions you have.

  • Yes, this is quite common. EMDR can be used as an adjunct to ongoing talk therapy, and many clients continue working with their primary therapist while doing this work. We can collaborate as much or as little as you’d like to support continuity and care.

  • Not necessarily. EMDR does not require you to share every detail of an experience. We focus on what feels important and move at a pace that feels manageable.

  • No. Many clients come in without a formal diagnosis. We focus on what you’re experiencing and what you’d like to shift, rather than requiring a specific label.

  • Ongoing therapy typically involves weekly or bi-weekly sessions, allowing for steady, relationship-based work over time.

    EMDR intensives are longer, more focused sessions designed to help you move through specific material more quickly. They can be helpful if you’re feeling stuck, have limited availability for weekly therapy, or want a more concentrated approach.

    We can talk through your goals and help determine which option is the best fit.
