The use of EMDR, when appropriate, alleviates mental and physical pain from recuring traumatic memories, even unperceived memories triggered by unrelated events.
When we or a beloved face challenges counseling helps us explore our beliefs and feelings enabling healing and making change possible. With over 25 years of experience working with diverse communities, adults, and children, with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences, I have witnessed healing. One method that helps is Sandplay Therapy. Using miniatures and a sand tray, offers a deeply personal way to explore our inner world, akin to 'waking dreams.' It facilitates profound self-discovery and healing for all ages. A Child’s language is play, and both adolescents and adults gain significant insights and transformation.

Depression, anxiety, social pressure, unhealthy relationship, stress, fears and etc. are all symptoms of underling issues one can experience. At times, we feel stuck in a situation, we get preoccupied with the negative symptoms we experience and we fail to give ourselves the chance to heal and understand that our symptoms exist to tell us “what’s happening now is not working.” If worked on, symptoms are temporary and serve us as alerting signals calling our attention.

EMDR Therapists
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, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
