What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR works directly with the brain and body to help process stuck memories, release emotional charge, and restore a sense of safety and regulation.

Whether you’re carrying the weight of a single traumatic event or the cumulative stress of ongoing challenges, EMDR can help you move forward — not by erasing the past, but by transforming the way it lives in your nervous system.

My Approach to EMDR Therapy

As a somatic and experiential therapist, I integrate EMDR with body-based practices, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation techniques. Trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts — it lives in our bodies. That’s why my approach to EMDR is deeply somatic and experiential, helping you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and restore a sense of safety from the inside out.

Depending on your needs, our work might include:

• Traditional EMDR processing, either in-person or online

• Experiential EMDR, incorporating nature, movement, or creative expression to support deeper processing

• Somatic awareness and regulation tools to help your nervous system feel safe enough to engage in the work

• Mindfulness and present-moment awareness to anchor you in the here and now

Online EMDR Therapy for Colorado Residents

I offer online EMDR therapy for clients throughout Colorado, allowing you to access this powerful healing tool from the comfort of home. Online EMDR is highly effective, and I’ll guide you in creating a space that feels safe and supportive for this work. Whether we meet in my office near Durango or via secure telehealth, you’ll receive the same compassionate, attuned care.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR?

EMDR is well-known for its effectiveness in treating PTSD and trauma, but it can also help with:

• Anxiety and chronic stress

• Relational trauma and attachment wounds

• Childhood experiences that still impact you today

• Perfectionism and self-criticism rooted in old patterns

• Grief and loss

• Low self-worth and internalized shame

• Feeling stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses

Experiential EMDR in Nature

For clients seeking something beyond the therapy office, I also offer nature-based and equine-assisted EMDR sessions near Durango. These sessions allow us to incorporate the healing power of nature and the presence of horses into your EMDR process, offering a deeply embodied, relational, and experiential way to work with trauma.
