Much of my work stems from my training in EMDR therapy. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps individuals heal from traumatic experiences and negative beliefs. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on discussing and analyzing problems, EMDR uses a structured eight-phase process that includes the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, taps, or sounds.

The core idea behind EMDR is that traumatic memories can become "stuck" in the brain, and the bilateral stimulation helps to reprocess these memories, allowing the brain to integrate them more adaptively. This process can lead to a reduction in the emotional distress associated with the memories and the transformation of negative beliefs. By targeting the brain's natural healing mechanisms, EMDR facilitates the formation of new neural pathways, which can change the way individuals perceive and respond to past events. This method is particularly effective for addressing issues like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, offering a unique alternative to traditional talk therapy by focusing on the brain's ability to heal itself through reprocessing and integration.
