Frequently Asked Questions

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidenced based approach that helps the brain process experiences that continue to affect you in the present. Rather than focusing only on talking through symptoms, EMDR works with how experiences are stored in your body so they feel less intense and easier to integrate over time.

  • Yes. Many people seek EMDR for anxiety, especially when anxiety is rooted in past experiences, chronic stress or relational patterns. EMDR can help reduce emotional reactivity and support a greater sense of calm. Especially when anxiety may have been present for a long time.

  • No. EMDR does not require you to share eery detail of your experiences. We move at a pace that feels manageable, and you remain in control of what you choose to share. Safety, consent and collaboration are central to how I work with each of my clients.

  • When engaging in EMDR for anxiety, we gently explore and work through experiences at a pace that feels supportive. You don’t need a specific trauma history for EMDR to be effective. If certain patterns, beliefs or emotional responses keep showing up in your life, EMDR can help you understand and shift them with compassion and care.

  • The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, history and what feels right for you. Some clients use EMDR to work through a specific concern, while others choose longer term support.
