Areas of Focus

When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment, or of being “frozen in time.” EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. The experience is still remembered, but the fight, flight, or freeze response from the original event is resolved. Areas of focus include working with women who have experienced childhood trauma, adult-onset trauma, or women who are struggling to navigate the impact of divorce, sudden loss of a loved one, or who are struggling with interpersonal conflicts.
