Flash and EMDR let your body release what happened without reliving it.
You lived in a narcissistic relationship for far too long. You’re doing your best not to fixate on all that you were told you did wrong – all the times you were berated, laughed at, and put down in front of friends and family. Your phone sits face-down. Picking it up means another argument to no where. Putting it down means another hour of questioning if you were the problem all along. You swing from defiant independence to insecure co-dependence. You used to know what you liked. Now you can't remember if you actually liked any of it, or just learned to. Facing an uncertain future is terrifying and paralyzing.

I offer both talk therapy and EMDR to help clients move beyond coping and create meaningful, lasting change.
I help ambitious, high-achieving women overcome burnout and set boundaries so they can rest without guilt and enjoy the lives they have built. You may look capable and put-together on the outside while privately feeling exhausted from carrying so much. If you grew up with an emotionally immature parent, you may have learned to focus on everyone else’s emotions while pushing your own needs aside. Over time, these patterns can show up as people-pleasing, overthinking, self-doubt, and difficulty setting boundaries.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
