Maybe it was a car accident, a sudden health crisis, or a traumatic experience on the job. And while the event is technically over, it doesn’t feel over.

You might be jumpy, hyper-aware, or easily startled. You avoid the route where it happened. You flinch when someone touches you unexpectedly. Or you shut down emotionally just to make it through the day.

Whether you’re a first responder, a survivor of medical trauma, or someone recovering from a one-time incident that rocked your world, it makes sense that your nervous system is still holding on.

You’re not broken. Your body is doing its best to protect you—even if that protection is now getting in the way of your life.

I work with women and LGBTQIA+ folks in Woodstock and across Vermont who are living with the aftershocks of a single traumatic event. I use EMDR therapy, a well-researched approach designed to help your brain and body process and release trauma—so you can start to feel like yourself again.

This is not just talk therapy. EMDR allows your system to finish what it couldn’t finish in the moment of impact. It works with how trauma is stored in your body—not just what you remember cognitively.

EMDR therapy may help if you’re experiencing:

-Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive images of the event

-Panic, racing thoughts, or dread that comes out of nowhere

-Avoidance of places, people, or activities that remind you of the incident

-Trouble sleeping, eating, or feeling safe in your body

-Emotional numbness or a feeling of being “far away” from life

-Guilt or self-blame, even when you know it wasn’t your fault

You don’t have to explain everything perfectly. EMDR meets you where you are and helps you move through the stuck places gently and safely.

I provide online EMDR therapy to clients in Woodstock and throughout Vermont. Whether you’re a medical provider who's seen too much, someone still rattled from a crash, or recovering from a painful procedure that shook your sense of safety—this is a space for your experience to be honored, not minimized.

I offer:

-Specialized support for single-incident trauma

-Affirming, non-pathologizing care for women and LGBTQIA+ clients

-Flexible, online sessions you can attend from anywhere you feel safe

-Out-of-network reimbursement and a waitlist for new clients

Even if others don’t fully understand why it’s still affecting you, you know something changed. You don’t have to keep pushing it down or powering through.

When you’re ready, EMDR can help your nervous system catch up with the truth: you made it through—and now you get to heal.
