When talking about it
isn’t enough.

EMDR

Best for: Clearing out old memories that feel stuck.

We use bilateral stimulation (eye movements or tapping) to help your brain process a memory while you stay grounded in the present. It is like rapid-cycle digestion for your emotions. You don’t have to share every detail for it to work.

Brainspotting

Best for: Deep body-based trauma and “blank” spots.

“Where you look affects how you feel.” We find a specific eye position that connects directly to the capsule of trauma in your brain. It allows you to release deep physical tension without needing to talk your way through it.

ART

Best for: Intrusive images and phobias.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy uses eye movements to help you “replace” distressing images with calming ones. It is fast, directive, and incredible for getting rid of that one specific image that keeps popping into your head.

You are sitting safely on the train (in my office/screen) while the scenery (the memory) rushes by outside the window. You see it, but you aren’t in it. You aren’t reliving the crash; you are observing it from a safe distance while we keep the train moving.

You are never under hypnosis. You are awake, aware, and in the driver’s seat. If things get too intense, you can say “stop” or “pause” instantly. We never open a door that we cannot close before the end of the hour.

Honesty time: You might feel tired after a session, like you just finished a long hike or a good cry. That is your brain physically rewiring itself. But over time, the memory stops feeling like a jagged rock and starts feeling like a pebble.

You don’t have to force anything. You might find yourself yawning, taking a huge spontaneous breath, or feeling your shoulders drop three inches without trying. That isn’t you being weird; that is the physical sensation of trauma leaving the building.
