EMDR therapy in Denver
It’s been suggested to you before. Something’s telling you to learn more.
Your friends know your past and have seen the signs. Panic attacks, nightmares, and constant vigilance keep showing up. You tell them you're fine, but deep down you know you’re not. Flashbacks catch you off guard and freeze you in place. You’ve heard about EMDR. You’re not sure how it works, but you wonder if it could help. You’ve carried this for a long time. Maybe now is the moment to try something new.
You’re ready to stop feeling…
Hijacked by painful memories
Fearful for reasons you can’t name
Disconnected from people around you
EMDR can help you find peace.
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps your mind and body process what talk therapy can’t always reach.
-
EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories that are stuck or unintegrated. Through guided bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping), your nervous system gets a chance to move from overwhelm into resolution. It’s not about reliving the past but helping your body and mind finally move through it.
-
You’ll begin by identifying the memories or issues causing distress and learning tools to feel grounded and safe. Sessions are structured and paced at your comfort level. EMDR can be done with visual, auditory, or tactile bilateral stimulation. You choose which one feels most helpful to you.
-
EMDR often helps reduce reactivity, emotional flooding, or feeling stuck in the same patterns. People find they respond differently to things that once overwhelmed them. You may gain more insight, self-compassion, and freedom to choose how you want to move forward.
your body holds the story
EMDR could be a real solution to your pain.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps support healing from trauma and emotional pain. The brain naturally processes life experiences, but intense events can interrupt this, leaving painful memories stuck. These moments often resurface through your body, thoughts, or relationships. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation like tapping or eye movement to revisit and release those memories, helping your system register that the danger is over.
In EMDR therapy with me, you’ll learn what to expect and how the process may feel. I follow the eight-phase structure while adapting to your needs and weaving in other supportive tools. EMDR often feels deeper than talk therapy and may bring faster, lasting results. Many clients need fewer sessions, feel more in tune with their bodies, and experience meaningful shifts in self-worth and daily life.
At the end of the day, you should know:
Whatever it is you’re experiencing, there’s a reason it feels this heavy. There’s a story behind the struggle, and your mind and body are trying to make sense of it the best way they can.
Is EMDR right for you?
EMDR is a good fit for you if you…
01
Feel stuck in the past, even knowing it’s over. EMDR helps shift patterns and reactions that don’t match your present.
03
Want more than surface-level therapy. EMDR works beneath thoughts, offering meaningful shifts in how you feel and function.
02
Struggle talking about what happened or feel like words fall short. It supports healing beyond just conversation.
The Process
01
Reach Out
Send a message or submit the contact form to express interest. We’ll schedule a free consultation to talk briefly about EMDR and decide if it feels like the right fit for your needs.
02
Intake
Our first session will focus on building trust and understanding your history. This is the first phase of EMDR: history taking. You’ll help me understand what’s been hard, how it’s impacting you now, and what you’d like to shift.
03
Setting up
Once we’ve explored your story and you feel ready, we’ll begin building inner tools to support your nervous system. These tools will help you feel grounded and safe before we revisit any difficult memories.
04
Desensitization
When you feel ready, we’ll begin processing specific memories using bilateral stimulation. This helps the brain shift how it stores the memory, reducing emotional intensity and allowing healing to take place.
As old patterns lose their grip, you may feel lighter, more emotionally steady, and connected to what matters most. Moving forward, we’ll reflect on your progress, strengthen positive beliefs, and support long-term integration.
-
EMDR is effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, performance blocks, and distressing memories, flashbacks, and nightmares. It can also help with negative self-beliefs or patterns that feel hard to break.
-
EMDR focuses less on talking through memories and more on how the brain and body store them. It works at a deeper, neurological level to create lasting shifts, often in fewer sessions.
-
No. You do not need to share every detail of the memory with your therapist. EMDR works by activating the memory while keeping you grounded and present.
-
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, history, and how your nervous system responds. Some clients see results in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work.
-
Absolutely. EMDR can be integrated with approaches like conventional talk therapy, mindfulness, somatic techniques, or KAP for even deeper healing.
