A research-backed approach that helps the brain process and heal distressing or traumatic experiences that continue to affect daily life. EMDR works by targeting how memories are stored in the nervous system, allowing painful experiences to lose their emotional intensity over time. EMDR helps to reduce trauma-related symptoms such as prolonged fear, emotional reactivity, and negative self-beliefs creating lasting relief and greater emotional stability.

An evidence-based approach that provides practical tools to help us understand what’s happening in the body and mind during moments of emotional overwhelm. Rather than reacting on impulse, DBT teaches us how to regulate intense emotions, and choose actions that align with our goals. This structured, skills-based therapy is especially effective for those who experience strong emotional reactions, difficulty managing stress, or challenges in relationships.

When skillfully integrated, EMDR and DBT combines trauma processing with practical skills to support both deep healing and day-to-day emotion regulation. EMDR helps resolve traumatic experiences that fuel emotional reactivity, while DBT teaches behavior principles and techniques needed to regulate emotions, reduce impulsive responses, and strengthen relationships. Together, a DBT-informed and EMDR approach helps us heal safely, allowing for both trauma processing and behavior skills at a pace that supports your safety, daily life functioning, and long term change.
