EMDR/BRAINSPOTTING
Unlocking Healing through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy approach that enables individuals to process and heal from distressing memories, emotional pain, and trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety and OCD.
This therapeutic method uses bilateral stimulation—often through guided eye movements—to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, alleviating emotional distress and fostering cognitive restructuring.
With nearly 25 years of experience as a licensed clinician, I integrate EMDR and other advanced therapeutic approaches to support clients on their journey toward healing, personal growth, and a more adaptive view of themselves and the world.

How EMDR Helps People:

Trauma Healing
EMDR is widely recognized for its effectiveness in helping individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. It aids in reducing the emotional intensity associated with traumatic memories, allowing for healing and emotional freedom.

Anxiety and OCD Relief
By addressing the root cause of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive patterns, EMDR helps to diminish the negative impact these issues have on daily life, fostering peace and stability.
Emotional Resilience
EMDR empowers clients to develop a greater sense of resilience and self-compassion by reprocessing negative beliefs and enhancing emotional regulation.

Personal and Relationship Growth
With EMDR, you can explore and heal personal patterns that contribute to relationship challenges, fostering healthier communication and greater emotional intimacy.
Integrating EMDR with Holistic Practices
In my Folsom therapy practice, I deepen the EMDR experience by integrating it with other therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), breathwork, and attachment based therapies.
These complementary approaches provide a well-rounded healing journey, supporting both mind, body and soul.
Brainspotting
WELCOME TO THE INNOVATIVE WORLD OF BRAINSPOTTING
Brainspotting is an advanced therapeutic approach that delves into the mind-body connection to unlock profound healing.
By targeting specific "brainspots", it helps access and process areas of emotional and physical distress, facilitating deep personal growth and recovery.
I integrate Brainspotting with other evidence-based treatments to provide a nurturing environment for healing.

How is Brainspotting Conducted?
In a brainspotting session, I will guide your eye movements to locate “brainspots” - a particular spot in your visual field that correlates with emotional or somatic activation.
These spots are identified by observing physiological and emotional reactions such as blinking, twitching, or shifts in breathing. Once identified, these points become the focus for processing trauma, allowing your brain and body to process what arises—without needing to "figure it out" through words alone.
This process bypasses the thinking mind and taps into your brain’s innate ability to heal itself from the inside out (helping to unearth buried memories and emotions).
