A structured, evidence-based approach for reprocessing trauma — from an EMDR Certified therapist and EMDR Consultant in Training.
EMDR helps your brain finish processing memories that got stuck. When a trauma memory is stuck, it can feel just as vivid and overwhelming today as it did when it happened. EMDR uses guided eye movements, along with other forms of bilateral stimulation, to help your brain file that memory away as something that happened in the past — not something still happening now.
EMDR is well suited for single-incident trauma (an accident, an assault, a critical incident on the job) and for complex, developmental trauma built up over years. I use it often with first responders, veterans, and clients whose substance use is tied to unprocessed trauma.
We don't start with reprocessing on day one. Early sessions focus on history-taking and building coping skills and stability. Once you're ready, sessions move into structured reprocessing, often supported by Ericksonian hypnotherapy to build a secure, comfortable place before we go into anything difficult.
EMDR is recognized as an effective treatment for PTSD by organizations including the World Health Organization and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It's one of the most researched trauma treatments available.
No. Unlike some talk therapies, EMDR doesn't require a full verbal account of the trauma. You stay in control of how much detail you share.
It depends on the complexity of the trauma. Single-incident trauma can sometimes resolve in a handful of sessions; complex trauma histories take longer. A Trauma Intensive can compress this timeline significantly.
Yes. Standard EMDR sessions are held via telehealth across Florida. Trauma Intensives are in-person only.
