You don't need more insight. You need the memory to stop firing.

Build Safety First

Find the Triggers

Desensitize and Reprocess

A Three-Phase Process Built for Your Nervous System

We establish a safe foundation for your nervous system before any trauma work begins.

Your system learns it is safe.

We identify which target memories to prioritize, so the work is focused, not scattered.

The work has a clear target.

We move through the memories directly, desensitizing the charge and reprocessing for safety.

The past stops running the now.

Trained in EMDR Therapy

I’m trained in EMDR: a structured, evidence-based approach to trauma processing that works at the level talk therapy cannot reach.

Integrative by Design

I’m also trained in IFS, Gottman Method, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and mindfulness/somatic approaches, which means the work fits you, not a single protocol applied to everyone.

Warm, Real, and Body-Aware

As a former yoga teacher turned therapist, the East-meets-West approach means the session feels human, grounded, and honest, not clinical or distant.

Does EMDR still work after years of therapy? ▾

Yes, and especially so. If you've spent years in talk therapy developing insight and the reactions still fire, EMDR works at a layer that insight-based work doesn't reach. The prior work isn't wasted; this adds the next step.

What does an EMDR session actually feel like? ▾

Sessions are structured but not rigid. We'll move at a pace that works for your nervous system. The early sessions build the safety foundation before we move into processing. You're never thrown into the deep end.

How long does this take? ▾

It depends on what you're working with. Some people notice real shifts in a handful of sessions. Others take longer. After our initial consultation, you'll have a clearer picture of what to expect.

Can we work together if I'm not in Santa Monica? ▾

Yes. Sessions are available fully online throughout California. Wherever you are in the state, we can work together.

What if I've already processed this in other ways and I'm still struggling? ▾

That's one of the clearest signs EMDR is worth trying. When you've done the understanding work and the reaction is still there, the memory hasn't been fully desensitized at the nervous system level. That's exactly what EMDR is designed for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Trust Me as Your Partner in Healing

Years of Therapy. Same Trigger.

Fed Up with Being Triggered. Fed Up with Yourself

You know exactly where it comes from.

The memory, the relationship, the moment things shifted. You've named it out loud, more than once.

And yet... the reaction still fires. The tightening in your chest. The flash of emotion before you can stop it.

"I know where this comes from. But I can't change it."

That gap between knowing and changing is the most frustrating place to live.

The Problem Isn't Your Awareness

You're not lacking insight. Trying harder isn't the answer.

The issue is where the work needs to happen.

Talk therapy lives in language. It reaches your understanding.

Trauma lives somewhere ELSE — deeper, faster, below the reach of words.

"I'm tired of being triggered" isn't weakness. That reaction fires because it's never been directly addressed.

You can spend years understanding the alarm. Or you can rewire it.

Your next step might already be clear.

EMDR Does What Talk Therapy Cannot

Talk therapy works. But it works through language, and trauma isn't stored in language.

EMDR works directly with the memories driving your reactions… desensitizing the charge in them and reprogramming your nervous system for safety.

The memory doesn't disappear. The GRIP it has on you does.

Three Phases to Reprogram, Not Just Understand

EMDR is structured work. Here's what it looks like when we do it together.

Release the emotional charge from memories that keep firing
Build a felt sense of safety in your body, not just your mind
Stop reacting to old triggers as though they're happening now
Access calm that lives in you, not just around you
Step into situations that used to wreck you, steadier than before

EMDR does what talk therapy cannot, because it works at the level where the past is actually stored.

Take the First Step Today

Understanding your past is valuable. And there's a point where talking about it stops being the answer.

EMDR does what talk therapy cannot. It desensitizes the memories driving your reactions, and reprograms your nervous system for safety.

The reaction that fires before you can stop it fires because the original experience was never fully processed. We change that.

Stop just talking about your trauma and reprogram it at the nervous system level. EMDR does what talk therapy cannot.

You want to feel like yourself again. Calm. Free.
