Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories by using bilateral stimulation through rapid eye movement, bilateral sound, bilateral tapping, EMDR tappers, buzzers, or pulsars. EMDR was developed by Francine Shapiro in 1987.

A typical EMDR therapy session is 1 hour once per week. By doing an intensive, you can have 3-6 weeks’ worth of sessions in one day. If doing multiple days of an intensive, you can have up to 18 weeks’ worth of sessions in one week. EMDR is often quicker than traditional talk therapy, meaning that instead of attending several weeks or months of sessions, you may be able to attend just one week of sessions. This is great for people who are wanting to work on something quickly, people who do not have the time to commit to multiple weeks of sessions, or even people who are in Dallas for a shorter amount of time and would like to work with me.

Meet the therapist

Therapy is a relationship between equals. You come with your own rich history of experiences, as does the therapist. We can both use these experiences to connect with each other and with the deeper, more hidden parts of ourselves. The therapist is there to help guide you on the journey, encouraging and challenging you along the way. You do the hard work of moving forward, taking steps, sometimes falling, then getting back up again. Often, the tendency is to avoid those painful moments of falling, to just keep doing what you were doing before. The therapist is there to help you get back up and approach the hard things again and again until they are the new norm.

Intensives can provide significant progress in a shorter timeframe.
Focused Attention

Structured Environment

Ideal for Specific Needs
