EMDR and Somatic Therapy:
In A Judgement-Free Space
How We Work Together
The Benefits of Therapy
Therapy is like having a heart-to-heart with your inner self. It's a guided and supportive place where you can let your guard down and really get to grips with your feelings.
You'll notice how talking things out can smooth the edges of life's rough patches and give you tools to communicate better with yourself and those around you.
With every session, it's as if you're shedding a bit of that weight off your shoulders, building up the kind of resilience that sticks. It's about digging deep, discovering the patterns that don't serve you well, and replacing them with habits that fit who you really want to be.
And all along the way? You're shaping a life that's not just about getting by but thriving and growing in ways you've always hoped for.
What EMDR Therapy Is and How It Can Help
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is like giving your brain a chance to hit the reset button and effectively process traumatic memories.
Imagine helping your mind do what it does naturally during dreamy REM sleep while you're awake and can steer the ship.
Although it’s very successful in helping many different challenges, It's particularly effective for PTSD, allowing individuals to process and integrate traumatic experiences safely.
EMDR has been shown to reduce anxiety, enhance emotional stability, and improve overall well-being. It's a path to reclaiming your narrative, enabling you to live not in the shadow of your experiences but in the light of your own making.
I specialize in attachment-focused EMDR. Creating a safe space and building up your resources before we get deeper into your trauma origins and developmental healing. And I ensure that when you leave your session, you feel safe and contained.
EMDR is an important tool I use with my clients for integrating psychedelics and expanded state medicines.
What Somatic Therapy Is and How It Can Help
Somatic therapy is a whole-body approach that recognizes the intricate connection between the body and mind.
It addresses the physical manifestations of trauma, stress, and emotional turmoil - how we hold ourselves, our gestures and our outward appearance.
Somatic therapy brings unconscious embodied patterns into consciousness.
By understanding what’s going on, it starts to create choices in your body about how you exist in the world.
Through talking and observing your body, you can start to see how you can feel and experience life differently - leading to better emotional regulation and fewer symptoms of disorders like anxiety and depression.
It's about tuning into the wisdom of the body to foster healing, resulting in a harmonious state where mental clarity and physical vitality feed into each other for a healthier, more vibrant you.
A Safe And Non-Judgemental Space
Acceptance is the bedrock of our work together.
No matter what you’ve been through, you'll find a judgment-free zone where every part of your story is met with an open heart and an understanding mind.
It's essential because healing can only take place in a space of acceptance.
When you feel seen and not sized up, that's when the walls come down, and the true work begins.
Together, we'll create a space where you're free to explore, grow, and heal at your own pace, knowing you're supported every step of the way.
