EMDR Therapy for Trauma in Burlington, VT
Helping Women and LGBTQIA+ Clients Heal from the Pain of the Past
It’s not always easy to name what’s wrong, only that something feels off. You might be feeling constantly overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thoughts, shut down, or emotionally exhausted. Maybe you’re having a hard time trusting others, staying present, or feeling safe in your own body.
If you’re in or near Burlington, VT and looking for a therapist who truly understands trauma and how it impacts your life, I’m here to support you. I specialize in working with women and LGBTQIA+ folks who’ve experienced painful life events, whether recent or long ago, that continue to affect their nervous systems, relationships, and sense of self.
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy that helps people process overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel stuck in them.
You don’t have to “talk it all out” for EMDR to be effective. Instead, we work together to gently reduce the emotional charge of memories, body sensations, or beliefs, so you can begin to feel calmer, safer, and more like yourself again. You may have had the experience in the past of attending talk therapy where you gain insight and learn about yourself, but you still feel stuck. EMDR works differently to effectively treat symptoms and get at the root of the issue.
Do These Experiences Sound Familiar?
Many of people come to therapy with me describing things like:
“I’m constantly on edge, like I can’t relax.”
“My mind races at night and I can’t sleep.”
“I have panic attacks and I don’t always know why.”
“I feel broken, like something is wrong with me.”
“I keep reliving things I don’t want to remember.”
“I hate how my body feels and I can’t trust it.”
“I want to feel better, but I don’t know where to start.”
If any of this resonates with you, it’s not because you’re weak or can’t cope. It’s because your body has been holding onto experiences that haven’t had a chance to heal.
