Are past experiences still shaping how you feel and react?

A lot of men in recovery get sober and realize there are unresolved issues from the past.

For those who have worked the steps, there is often tremendous relief; however, sometimes certain past experiences keep tugging at you. You hoped you’d be free of resentment and anger, and you want to be, but it’s still there.

This is because these experiences live in the brain and body. Fortunately, EMDR therapy can help.

How EMDR helps your system settle

EMDR is an evidence based therapy that taps your brain’s natural ability to heal. 

With gentle left right stimulation through eye movements, taps, or sound, your mind and body can safely reprocess memories that got stuck. 

We’ll reduce the emotional charge, work through today’s triggers, and rehearse future moments so you can show up the way you want to.

You’ll feel a level of freedom that you knew was possible, but wondered what more you needed to do to get there.

Check out my blog post to learn more about my EMDR sessions.

Any questions about trauma & EMDR?

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you process traumatic memories, distressing experiences, and the emotional triggers tied to them, as well as visualize how you would like to be in the future. Instead of talking through every detail, EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation (both sides of the brain), often through eye movements, taps, or sounds, to help your brain reprocess stuck memories in a safe, controlled way.

  • Anxiety often spikes because your system reads safe moments as dangerous. EMDR helps recalibrate that alarm. We reduce the charge on old experiences that keep your body on high alert, then we target current triggers like general conflict, relationship conflict, work stress, parenting challenges, social settings, or self-criticism. You’ll learn quick grounding skills, practice them between sessions, and notice more calm, clearer thinking, and better follow-through when stress hits.

  • Often yes. EMDR works alongside other supports. We’ll start with safety and skills, coordinate care as needed, and make sure the pace feels steady and workable.

  • Sessions are $160 for 55 minutes. I accept credit, debit, HSA, and FSA cards. See full fees and payment information here.

  • Yes. For clients who want to progress more quickly, I offer extended EMDR sessions:

    $300 / 90 minutes
    $400 / 2 hours
    $600 / 3 hours

    These intensive sessions can be an effective way to do deeper work in fewer appointments.

  • No. This is an intentional choice to protect your privacy and give us more freedom to shape care around you. Insurance requires a formal diagnosis on your record and can control how often we meet and how long we work together. Keeping therapy private means we focus on what helps you, not what your insurance covers. I can provide a superbill for potential out of network reimbursement.
