I help mid-life men and women discover freedom from their past without having to go into all the details.
Start thriving with support from an experienced online EMDR therapist
If childhood trauma is the thing keeping you stuck, EMDR can help.
Over-functioning was once a superpower and a way to survive in an uncertain environment. Now it feels more like you are drowning, trying to please everyone and do everything. You have pesky negative beliefs about yourself that have been around for a long time.
It feels deep. You don’t always know how to describe it but when asked how familiar it is, you immediately report “super familiar.”
You have triggers that keep you frozen when you’d like to say something and moments of fleeing in times when you want to stay. Ultimately, you wonder if things can be different and if the later part of your life can be more about thriving instead of surviving. And the answer is absolutely. EMDR therapy can help.

Still have questions about EMDR?
You’re not alone. Many high-achievers hesitate to seek help, but EMDR is a proven method to help you move forward. Let’s talk about whether it’s right for you.
EMDR therapy in Ogden, Utah will help you start feeling like yourself again.
EMDR is founded on the discovery that the brain has a natural way to recover and heal from traumatic events and memories.
By utilizing bilateral stimulation, the unpleasant memories unstick, and the brain begins to properly store the memory.
That is where the desensitization comes in. The memory will still be with you but it will no longer feel so overwhelming and distressing.
I like to say to clients it essentially moves the past from it ‘sucks’ to it ‘sucked’ where it needs to be – past tense.
When you go through a traumatic event or a distressing life experience your brain learns something, a curriculum of sorts. It then moves into an over-adaptation to help keep you safe.
What EMDR does is help reprocess memories and negative beliefs so you can begin to show up the way you want versus in an over-adapted state.

Frequently Asked Questions about EMDR in Ogden, Utah
How do I know if EMDR is working?
Great question! After you have moved through the first few phases of history taking and stabilization, attention will be directed to a negative image. Once an image has been discussed beliefs, emotions, and body sensations are explored. And thus, will begin the reprocessing phases. You will know if EMDR is working when a positive belief and statement have unfolded. This will let you know the issue is resolved.
Perk for all those homework haters. EMDR doesn’t come with homework in between sessions! Great news for people who thought homework was a drag, huh?
