EMDR that lets you remember without reliving.
EMDR Therapy for Adults in Jacksonville, FL, In Person and Across Florida
Someone says the wrong thing, and you’re triggered before you can catch it.
You explode, or you go quiet. Either way, the guilt shows up after.
Sleep comes in three-hour stretches, and the nightmares are waiting when it does.
And underneath all of it, the SAME memories, surfacing whether you asked for them or not.
You’re tired of being at the mercy of your own past.
Calm. No more guilt or shame. To feel safe in your own skin, and good enough.
To talk to people without the old charge taking over… to think about the past without it thinking for you.
Your friends, your family, your kids would notice you’re calmer, more engaged, more hopeful about what’s ahead.
And you’d finally believe you’re good enough.
A memory can stay a memory once the sting comes out.
EMDR lets you re-examine those negatively charged memories at a pace that keeps you feeling safe and supported.
We use proven techniques to stimulate your brain and remove the emotional bee sting, so those painful memories don’t hurt as much.
You’ll still remember what happened. It just won’t trigger you like it used to.
There’s no deadline here. We work at your comfort level.
Your brain begins to heal.
The work is steady, and you set the pace. Session by session, the charge comes off the memories that have been running your reactions.
The memories stay. The sting doesn’t.
We establish the collaborative relationship, map the history of the trauma and its impact on you, and identify the target images we’ll process. This is the beginning.
Nothing gets processed before you’re ready.
Using EMDR, we work through each target image and track the changes happening in you as the charge comes off.
The sting comes out, one memory at a time.
You take stock of the positive changes and how you feel now. You’ll have less to talk about, and we’ll plan a finish, with the door open if you ever need to come back.
Less to say means the work is done.
EMDR certification is a higher standard of demonstrated competence, and it’s the foundation of how I structure the work from the first phone call.
Licensed since 2012, I’ve worked with physicians, first responders, and adults carrying everything from a single overwhelming event to years of them.
Nothing gets processed until the trust is there, and if EMDR isn’t landing for you, we adapt instead of pushing the protocol.
I’ve been a mental health professional in Florida for 14 years.
My goal is to help you resolve what brought you in as quickly as possible. I want you to leave with the coping strategies to handle life’s problems without needing me.
EMDR lets therapy go deeper to the core issues behind what you feel. I’m comfortable with trauma, and my clients have included police officers and doctors.
When you tell me about a moment like Cheryl’s or Ted’s, I listen closely and ask what it was like for you. It has been a joy and a pleasure to watch many of my clients resolve their trauma and gain an inner confidence.
You hold the memory in mind while your eyes track a point moving side to side on the screen. That back-and-forth stimulation helps your brain finish processing the memory, so it loses its emotional charge.
We don’t start with EMDR. The first sessions are about the relationship and preparation, and we only move into processing when you feel ready.
Yes. I offer EMDR in person in Jacksonville and online across Florida, and the eye movements are guided on screen the same way.
There’s no deadline here. Most people move into active processing within the first several sessions, and we’ll name the phase we’re in at every step.
Talk therapy helps you understand the memory. EMDR helps your brain finish processing it, which is why people who’ve done years of CBT often tell me they needed something deeper.
