EMDR Therapy: Reprocess Trauma Without Reliving It

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven, body-informed therapy that helps your brain finally release what it’s been holding onto — gently, safely, and at your pace.

EMDR Therapy

What Is EMDR — and How Does It Work?

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) while you recall emotionally charged memories in a safe setting. This helps your brain file those experiences as “resolved,” so they no longer trigger you emotionally or physically.

You Deserve Relief — Not Just Coping Skills

EMDR helps you move past what’s been hijacking your life. If you’ve ever said, “I thought I was over this,” EMDR may be the tool you’ve been missing. It works by helping your brain process painful memories in a way that feels safe and contained, so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. You don’t have to relive everything in detail, and you don’t have to do it alone. With the right support, healing becomes more than just possible... it becomes sustainable. You can feel more present, more in control, and more like yourself again.

  • "Sonja has done so much to help me work through struggles that I thought actually was apart of me and would follow me my whole life. She is helping guide me to truly loving myself and helping "recalibrate" my brain to find the happier, more loving, optimistic me I can be. I spent years feeling lost and did not know what to do. I tried therapy in the past and only saw a now improvement that would change as more things happened. Sonja is helping me with my past and now to help set up my future me. She is giving me the tools to heal from my pasts and now to have under my belt in the future so maybe one day I can make it through hardships while holding myself up. I am already seeing improvement in myself since I started working with her and I can say that I can not wait to meet that future me with a warm loving hug with the younger me standing at my side knowing that we made it!"

  • "When I first started meeting with Sonja, I was paralyzed, living in fear. I was stuck, living in the past. I did not know what emotions I was feeling or that it was ok to feel them. I had years of bottled up emotions and trauma and no tools to help me process them. I wasn’t even sure how to talk through them. Sonja was patient with me, yet pushed me to go deeper when she needed to. She taught me several tools that helped me in those moments of panic or anxiety. I have learned to allow myself to feel the emotions and then release them. I have learned to be aware of triggers and stop myself from the downward spiral they use to cause. I have learned to use my voice and that it matters. I matter. I have found my smile again. I am no longer stuck. I have found a freedom that I wasn’t sure was even possible. I will be forever grateful for the work I’ve done with Sonja."

  • "I have been working with Sonja for 6 months. Her counseling has been very beneficial and I feel like I have come along way with her help. She has been very flexible with the schedule and I would recommend her to anyone."

  • Review
  • Sonja has been so amazing to work with! She asked what I was expecting out of therapy right from the beginning and has followed through with my expectations. I have seen many therapists who have always validated my feelings which personally has never made me feel better. It just encouraged bad patterns and left me feeling stuck in victimhood. I specifically asked Sonja to challenge me and that is exactly what she has done. I always leave our sessions with something to reflect on and work on. I am so grateful i have found Sonja!
