How does eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) work and how can it help?
EMDR is a specialized therapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. Through guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming. This approach can reduce symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and other emotional challenges, allowing clients to feel more grounded, resilient, and confident in their daily lives.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. With over five years of experience and more than 7,000 clinical hours, I specialize in helping individuals—particularly women—heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, overthinking, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, practical, and trauma-informed, utilizing EMDR and other evidence-based techniques to uncover and address the root causes of emotional distress. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to build healthier patterns, strengthen confidence, and create lasting change.
