EMDR THERAPY IN OREGON

Guided support for processing overwhelm

You often wonder how your body would feel without the stress and overwhelm.

You’ve heard about this thing called EMDR…but what is it exactly?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful type of therapy that allows people to process intense things they’ve experienced, whether it’s stress, trauma, anxiety, or a variety of other experiences. EMDR helps the body and the mind process these past intense experiences and move from a state of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn to a state of more grounded presence within oneself.

I work with millennial and Gen Z professionals of color and mixed race professionals, addressing frustrating, confusing, or possibly even traumatizing patterns at work, in their interpersonal relationships, and within their family/cultural lineage. If you’re drawn to working with me, you’re likely someone who’s in touch with their emotions, a high achiever (looking at you, my fellow “pleasure to have in class” people!), and ready to do the work of self-exploration.

You’re tired of feeling caught in the cycle of:

A sense of stuck-ness in your relationships and at work
Resentment and frustration with how you’re treated and how you hold back your reactions
Minimizing what you’re going through because you’re worried about what others in your life are going through

how i can help

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, aka EMDR

I sometimes joke with my clients that I can get nerdy about EMDR, because I love seeing how transformative it can be for people. EMDR is particularly effective for people who want to go beyond talk therapy. I guide clients through addressing the negative beliefs they have about themselves to feeling deeper connection with their inner calm, compassion, and confidence.

If you’re wondering what my training background is with EMDR, I completed my EMDRIA-approved EMDR training, as well as Flash Technique training, and attend EMDR-specific consultation.

Though EMDR is my primary modality, I also am informed by relational-cultural theory and IFS in my clinical practice.

imagine if you…

Accessed your sense of true grounding

✓

When we’re stuck in the flight, freeze, or fawn, we sometimes mistake them for “calm”. Spoiler alert: they’re not the same as calm or grounding! Gain the skills to access your sense of calm and know when it feels safe so that the nervousness or fear doesn’t overtake you anymore.

Could have a space to process the “difficult” feelings

✓

Have guidance through voicing, feeling, and then moving through the worry, frustration, confusion, or trauma.

Felt like you could share with loved ones

✓

Grow your confidence with being vulnerable and modeling healthy boundaries.

I want you to know:

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I can be a supportive presence guiding you through this transformative process.

Common questions about EMDR

So this is something called adjunctive EMDR: when someone has a “primary” therapist who’s not EMDR-trained and then sees a second therapist specifically for EMDR.
While adjunctive EMDR is something that other clinicians offer, it is not something I offer.
It’s ok if you don’t want to start with EMDR right away! I’ve worked with clients who have come to me saying, “I think I want to try EMDR, but I want to spend some time talking first.” We can spend a few sessions getting to know each other, and I’ll check in about when you’re feeling ready for EMDR.
