EMDR for Trauma
Virtual therapy in California; coaching available anywhere.
You want it out of your nervous system, not just your journal.
You know where the trauma came from—maybe a narcissistic ex, adverse childhood experience, military exposure, a bad accident, or a sexual experience that still lingers with unease.
Maybe you’ve done regular therapy. Maybe you can explain your triggers perfectly—but they still hijack you.
You freeze when you want to speak up. Flinch at intimacy. Go blank or explode in conflict.
This is trauma work that doesn’t require a breakdown.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess distressing memories safely, without medication.
We target the stuck stuff—the moment, the image, the body memory—and help your brain actually move through it.
You’ll stop reacting like it’s still happening. Start trusting your own cues.
You might even feel safe in your body again.
Why work with us? Because we go beyond “just breathe.”
Our team has been doing this work for years.
We blend EMDR with somatic and relational approaches to make sure the healing actually lands.
This isn’t passive, and it’s not about venting—it’s about reprocessing pain at the source, in a way your brain understands.
We’ll guide you through every step, safely and at your pace.
Who this type of therapy is for:
→ Adults who’ve been through trauma but “function too well” to be taken seriously
→ People with emotional flashbacks, shame spirals, or unexplained shutdowns
→ Anyone who’s tired of talk therapy and wants something deeper, faster, and actually body-based
→ Folks who feel like trauma is still running the show—quietly or loudly
→ Clients who say, “I should be over this by now,” but aren’t
