What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that helps the nervous system and mind process experiences that feel stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to move through on their own. I can integrate EMDR selectively, based on each client’s individual needs.

I’ve found it can be especially supportive for performance anxiety, test anxiety, and the emotional impact of athletic injuries or performance-related setbacks.

EMDR can be helpful for:

  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress

  • Anxiety and panic symptoms

  • Depression linked to unresolved or painful experiences

  • Grief and loss, especially when it feels complicated or “stuck”

  • Phobias or specific fears

  • Medical trauma or difficult healthcare experiences

  • Distressing memories that feel intrusive or emotionally charged

  • Experiences that feel “stuck,” overwhelming, or hard to make sense of emotionally
