EMDR for individuals, and EMDR-informed resourcing for couples
I am EMDR-trained and offer EMDR for individuals who want focused trauma work, adjunctive EMDR for clients already working with another therapist, and EMDR-informed resourcing for couples who want more safety and steadiness in the relationship.
EMDR for Individuals
We begin by understanding what brings you in, what feels activated or stuck, and what support your system needs before moving into deeper processing. I often integrate EMDR with parts work so we can stay attentive to the protective and vulnerable parts of you along the way.
EMDR may be helpful if you are carrying painful memories, feeling stuck in reactions that seem bigger than the present moment, or noticing patterns rooted in earlier experiences that are still shaping your life now.
Adjunctive EMDR
Adjunctive EMDR is for clients who already have a primary therapist and want focused trauma processing alongside their ongoing therapy.
EMDR for couples resource building
I also offer EMDR-informed resourcing for couples. (This is not trauma reprocessing.)
A session might involve slowing down and noticing a moment when the two of you feel a little more open, connected, or less reactive with each other. From there, we may use imagery, body awareness, and EMDR-informed resourcing practices to help that experience feel more settled and more available. Sometimes this can include bilateral stimulation in a slow, gentle way.
Depending on what fits best, resourcing may draw on EMDR preparation tools such as containment, calming imagery, or other sensory grounding exercises.
