EMDR Therapy
Begin the path to healing relational and/or sexual trauma with EMDR therapy.
EMDR can help you heal and feel safe again - so you can rebuild trust, restore connections, and experience healthy relationships.
What is EMDR?
When we go through something traumatic, the memory can get stuck in our brain - along with the sights, sounds, thoughts, and emotions from that moment. Because it’s not fully processed, it can get triggered again and again by things that remind us of what happened.
This can lead to strong emotional reactions like fear, anxiety, or helplessness that feel overwhelming or hard to control. But those reactions are really tied to the original unprocessed memory.
EMDR uses gentle techniques, like eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, to help your brain unlock and work through that stuck memory, so you can finally begin to heal and feel more at peace.
