EMDR Therapy for Missouri & Utah Women
Your Past feels Present
Maybe it happened months or years ago.
Maybe you've been to therapy and gained insight but you don't FEEL different. You don't FEEL better.
Trauma has a way of dragging your past into the present—it’s debilitating.
Smells, sounds, familiar faces, or even songs can trigger a flood of memories, leaving you feeling overwhelmed.
But let me say this: You are NOT broken. You are NOT crazy.
Your body is doing its job—keeping you alive by staying on high alert.
It's a survival response, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
I know this journey, and I’m here to help you find relief. Let’s work together to rewrite these patterns and bring peace to your mind and body.
EMDR can be your RELIEF
If time seems to stand still or wizz by and you feel outside of your body...
If you wake up from nightmares or you daydream and think about the event for chunks of time during the day...
If things seem so INTENSE and you want RELIEF...
EMDR can provide you lasting CHANGE

EMDR for Missouri & Utah Women
You want to feel safe in your body.
You want enough relief to choose a new path.
Imagine having better sleep. Imagine enjoying physical touch.
Staying present and enjoying sex more.
Imagine being able to have a discussion with someone and it doesn't turn into a raging yelling match.
EMDR can’t erase the event, but it can lessen the intensity of the suffering and its impact on your life.
Through Bilateral Stimulation (BLS)—eye movements, tapping, or sounds—we’ll slow your nervous system enough to activate your parasympathetic "rest and digest" mode. This allows us to process distressing memories, uncover negative beliefs, and explore how they influence your life.

Maybe you've faced a difficult birth, miscarriage, or abortion, and distressing emotions, sensations, and thoughts are weighing on you daily.
You deserve a safe space to process and heal with someone who understands. Let's navigate this together.
Concerned about being triggered or overwhelmed? I’ve got you.
This is my job and where my experience in dissociation, trauma responses, and grounding comes in.
If a trauma response arises, I’ll help to keep you grounded and connected to the present moment.
We’ll pause, slow your nervous system, and use grounding techniques to ensure safety.
With years of personal and professional experience, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
You are not alone.
Let’s take this journey together.
There are many factors the influence someones emdr therapy journey, which I tailor to fit your needs. With that said, here is what you can expect:
-
Groundwork (First 3-5 sessions): We'll identify where stress lives in your body, the negative beliefs you carry, and positive beliefs you want to embrace.
-
Processing (Sessions 6-12+): Using BLS, we’ll work to discharge the pain, stress, and intensity.
For more complex trauma or multiple events, the number of sessions will vary to meet your needs. Your healing journey is unique, and so is the length of our work together.
A common outcome? You’ll process events with EMDR, lessen the intensity, and feel ready to move into somatic experiencing and yoga to explore your identity and create a foundation of safety, openness, and self-love.
