EMDR Therapy in Berkeley & Throughout California
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process experiences that still feel emotionally present, even when they happened long ago.
You may understand intellectually that something is over, yet your body still responds as though it isn’t. Anxiety, hypervigilance, shame, intrusive memories, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself can all be ways unresolved experiences continue to show up.
I use EMDR with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, relationship and attachment wounds, burnout, and major life transitions. I also specialize in women’s mental health and use EMDR to support experiences such as difficult or traumatic births, pregnancy and reproductive loss, postpartum distress, and earlier trauma that can resurface during pregnancy, motherhood, or midlife.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—often eye movements, tapping, or sound—to support the brain’s natural processing system. We move at a pace that feels manageable, with attention to your nervous system and what is happening in your body rather than simply pushing through painful memories.
As an EMDR-certified therapist with a somatic and trauma-informed approach, my goal isn’t to erase what happened. It’s to help the past feel like the past, so it has less power over how you feel and live now.
