What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including:

• PTSD
• Depression and anxiety
• Chronic illness and medical issues
• Grief and loss
• PTSD/CPTSD
• Sexual assault
• Sleep disturbance
• Substance abuse and addiction
• Violence and abuse

How is EMDR Different from Other Therapies?

EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or homework between sessions. EMDR supports the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to process traumatic memories in the brain, so the person is informed by these memories but not controlled by them. Part of the therapy includes alternating eye movements, sounds, or taps. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.

EMDR therapy can be done in-person or via virtual platforms and must be done with a properly trained and licensed mental health clinician.

EMDR therapy is recognized as an effective treatment by the American Psychiatric Association; American Psychological Association; International Society for Traumatic and The World Health Organization. ©2022 EMDR International Association


Counselling

Book a counselling session when you are uncertain what type of help you are seeking and to learn more about EMDR and whether it is right for you.

Living with anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma can be incredibly challenging, often impacting our relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. While there are no quick fixes, there are effective strategies we can use to manage these struggles and move forward with our lives. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, both of which can help in transforming negative thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, and processing trauma. We can work together to enhance communication in relationships, reduce negative self-talk, and address the deeper trauma history that keeps you from moving forward.

With 18 years of experience counselling adults, children, and youth, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, psychosis, and life-threatening illness.

If you are seeking a compassionate, experienced professional to support you on your journey to healing and growth, I am here to help. By creating a safe, supportive space, I empower my clients to explore their experiences, uncover their strengths, and develop the skills necessary to move beyond difficulties. Please reach out to see how we can work together.
