EMDR Therapists in Port Coquitlam, BC
We will work together to find the best way forward to meet your unique needs as I draw from several types of therapy, including EMDR to process traumatic memories.
If you have been carrying the effects of trauma for a while, I imagine it feels pretty heavy. You may find your inner voice is harsh, telling you that you do not deserve a better life. You may be struggling with the physical impacts of trauma such as tension and fatigue that do not seem to go away. You may notice being disconnected from yourself and unsure how to connect with others. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck and unsure how to cope and move forward. Let’s create a space together to explore the impacts your trauma has on you to make it feel lighter and support you in reconnecting to yourself and others.

I frequently utilize and feel passionately about the following therapeutic models: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, IFS, Sensorimotor/Somatic, Motivational Interviewing, Psychedelics, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and EMDR.

With over 15 years of training and experience, I have been profoundly influenced by the theoretical lens of trauma, the mind-body nervous system connection, and understanding the importance of integrating systemic and cultural influences as well.

EMDR Counsellors
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
