EMDR Therapy for PTSD & Complex Trauma
EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist
Trauma can continue to affect the way you feel, respond, and relate—even when you understand what happened. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help people process distressing experiences and memories that continue to affect them in the present. EMDR therapy can help adults process distressing experiences without requiring repeated, detailed retelling of every event.
As an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, I use EMDR with clients experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and recent traumatic events. Treatment is paced carefully, with preparation, stabilization, and parts-oriented work incorporated when needed.

Is EMDR Therapy Right for You?
EMDR may be worth considering when past experiences continue to feel present in your emotions, body, relationships, or daily life. It may be helpful for adults experiencing:
• Distressing memories, triggers, or trauma reminders
• PTSD or complex PTSD
• Childhood, attachment, or relationship trauma
• Dissociation, shutdown, or feeling disconnected
• Anxiety, hypervigilance, shame, or persistent negative beliefs
• A recent traumatic experience that remains difficult to process
EMDR does not look the same for everyone. We begin by understanding your history, current stability, support system, and goals. When complex trauma or dissociation is present, preparation may take longer, and trauma processing is paced carefully to support safety and stability. Read about the eight phases of EMDR therapy.
EMDR for Complex Trauma and Childhood Trauma
Complex trauma can develop through repeated experiences, including childhood trauma, attachment disruptions, or relationships in which safety and trust were compromised. EMDR can be adapted for these experiences, with additional time for preparation, grounding, and stabilization. Treatment is paced carefully and tailored to your needs rather than rushed according to a predetermined timeline.
How Online EMDR Therapy Works
Online EMDR allows you to participate from a private location without traveling to an office. Before beginning trauma processing, we discuss privacy, technology, grounding resources, and what you may need before and after each session. I provide online EMDR to adults in Colorado, Montana, and Nevada, and we will determine together whether virtual EMDR fits your needs.
