Rooted Mind&Growth: Trauma therapy and EMDR

Trauma therapy & EMDR

Healing is possible.

Even when it feels out of reach. Whether you are carrying something heavy from long ago or simply cannot seem to put down the weight of right now, you do not have to sort through it alone.

You might be here because

Something is asking for your attention.

Perhaps you feel constantly on edge, bracing for the other shoe to drop. Perhaps you are exhausted by a loop of thought you cannot interrupt, or numb in a way that worries the people who love you. Perhaps something happened, and it still lives in your body.

Our experiences shape how we see ourselves and what we believe we deserve. Those beliefs are learned, which means they can be unlearned. That is the work, and it is genuinely possible.

How I can help

Two paths, often walked together

  • Individual Therapy

    The work done in individual therapy depends on the ability to feel safe and seen. We start here, building the trust necessary to dive into the work that comes next.

  • EMDR

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an eight phase protocol used in the treatment of trauma and adverse experiences.

My approach

Safe first. Then the deeper work.

Nothing useful happens before you feel safe and seen, so that is where we begin. From there we move at the pace your nervous system can actually tolerate, toward goals you choose.

I draw on EMDR, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and polyvagal informed practices, not as a rigid protocol, but as tools I reach for depending on what you need on a given day.

More about how I work

Take the first step

Reaching out is often the hardest part. A free 20 minute consultation is a low-pressure way to ask questions and see whether we are a good fit, with no commitment of any kind.
