trauma isn't just stored in your thoughts. It's stored in your body and nervous system, too.

Sometimes, talking about the problem isn’t enough to shift it.

If you’ve already done insight-oriented work but find yourself looping through the same patterns, it may be time to work more directly with the nervous system and the parts of you still holding the weight of the past. That’s where this work goes deeper.

If you've tried traditional therapy and still feel stuck, you're not alone.

EMDR helps your brain and body finally process what’s been stuck without needing to relive it all.

It works by using something called Bilateral Stimulation (like eye movements or gentle tapping on the body) to help the nervous system complete unfinished responses to past events.

THE RESULT? Triggers lose their charge. Emotional loops start to settle. You begin to feel a shift not just in your thoughts, but in your whole system.

This approach is especially effective for people who are tired of talking about their pain and are ready to move through it.

Evidence-Based Therapy

EMDR is one of the most well-researched trauma therapies available to date. 

30+ clinical studies and international guidelines recognize EMDR as a frontline treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related concerns.

This is not fringe, it’s evidence-based, trusted, and effective.

For many clients, EMDR means:
✔ Fewer flashbacks
✔ Less emotional reactivity

Why Should You Try EMDR?

You don’t have to keep talking about it to heal it.

Trauma lives in your body, your nervous system, and the protective parts of you that had to take over when things got too overwhelming.

in your body, your brain,
& your inner system.

EMDR helps you heal at the level where the pain lives:

IFS

Internal family systems aka 'parts' work

IFS, or Parts work, helps you understand and heal the different parts of yourself: the perfectionist, the inner critic, the part that shuts down, or the parts that keep you people-pleasing and over-functioning just to stay safe.

Instead of trying to silence these parts, we learn to get curious. We soften. We create space and allow these parts to unburden what they’ve been carrying.

THE RESULT? You meet yourself more fully. You develop greater self-compassion and healthier boundaries. You begin to lead your life from a more grounded, connected, and honest place.

You become the unconditionally loving, safe adult in your life... maybe even the one you never had.
