What Is Brainspotting?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that enables you to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR therapy is clinically studied and proven to help individuals desensitize past trauma, no matter how big or small.
How Does it work?
EMDR is an 8-phase process, during which you are totally awake and aware. Together through 8 phases, we will utilize Bilateral Stimulation (BLS), through tapping, eye movement, or sound to desensitize old memories, images, feelings, thoughts around events that have happened in your life that continue to make you feel stuck. The phases establish a safe and measured environment conducive to moving through your past experiences. Our minds have the power to overcome, EMDR helps the brain know it’s safe while doing so.

““I “dove deep” into my personal growth journey many years ago and have worked with countless mediums - from workshops to therapy, to spiritual sessions, and more. It wasn’t until EMDR with Katie that I truly felt a shift. I spent the time to dig into all of my triggers, and have come out on the other side feeling like my true self. Nothing is holding me back anymore. I am free of family drama, work is prosperous, I’m immensely creative, life is flowing with ease, and everything is way more fun. I would highly, highly recommend working with Katie. She is kind, professional, and incredibly supportive”.

This is the biggest question that people ask me when they first call, and to which every therapist, including myself wishes they had a crystal ball to be able to give you an answer. With any good EMDR therapist, they will tell you they don’t know how long—at least not yet. What I can tell you is EMDR therapy truly is a remarkable and thorough therapy, that has the potential to be faster acting then other therapies offered.

When painful memories are avoided, they keep their disturbing power. While flashback or nightmares can feel like the original trauma, you don’t have to live with this forever. EMDR works in a way to relieve symptoms so you don’t have to keep reliving them every day life. In therapy, and with EMDR, you can face the memory in a safe setting, so that you do not feel overwhelmed. Then you can get through it and move on.

Many assume that they are stuck with a life experience, or that it will take a very long time to heal. When you cut your hand, your body knows how to heal the wound. In a similar way, our brains need assistance in removing blocks that are not allowing the brain to heal itself. EMDR will help you remove mental blocks, mental loops, negative patterns to engage your natural healing process, allowing for the creation of new pathways in the brain.
