What will you do when you feel better?

Experience EMDR THERAPY

 

Feelings of despair, anxiety, rage, confusion, hopelessness, and depression are normal responses to a broken world. This brokenness has many names: childhood emotional neglect, oppression, inequality, poverty, trauma, destruction, and violence. Sometimes it can seem impossible to feel whole given the state of things. And yet, we continue to witness healing, to find ourselves whole again, belonging. In fact, time and time again we find healing and expansion that is big enough to include the painful stories, along with the joyful ones, so that you can experience new ways of relating to yourself and others. This is a deep freedom.

​

We aim to partner with you to identify the very root of your distress, with particular sensitivity to the context of your life. A therapeutic alliance in which you feel safe, seen, and cared for is essential for healing to occur. You can expect to feel attunement, compassion, and gentle encouragement towards your goals in each session. You might even laugh!

​

When hard things happen and we do not get the support to process them in the moment, our body often stores these memories, locking them away to wait for a future time when there is more space and resources to address them. 

 

There are many ways to dislodge and process trauma, freeing up the body and mind to have new and more joyous experiences. Laura is fully certified in EMDR and continues advanced training, especially in early preverbal trauma processing. EMDR is just one of the modalities we use to process trauma and heal from the past.
