What to Expect
EMDR sessions are 60–90 minutes. Using guided bilateral stimulation, we help your brain process stuck memories. Many clients begin to notice meaningful shifts within just a few sessions.
“For the first time, the memory doesn’t control me. I can think about it without my chest tightening.”
Understanding EMDR
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so the emotional charge they carry begins to lessen. Think of it like a filing system. When something overwhelming happens, your brain sometimes stores that experience in a way that keeps it feeling present, as if it’s still happening. EMDR helps your brain reorganize those memories and file them where they belong, in the past, so they stop running the show in the present.
Some experiences don’t just leave behind memories. They leave behind tension, reactivity, and patterns your body is still responding to even when your mind knows better. EMDR helps you tune into what your body might still be holding onto, so that both your mind and body can return to a shared sense of safety.
You won’t just develop insight into your patterns. You’ll feel the shift in your body. Change becomes something you experience, not just something you understand.
How It Works
The EMDR Process
EMDR follows a structured, phased approach. We don’t jump straight into processing. First, we build a strong foundation of trust, safety, and resourcing and grounding skills so that when we move into the deeper reprocessing, your whole system feels equipped to handle what comes up. This preparation phase is just as important as the processing itself.
When you’re ready, we begin reprocessing, using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) to help your brain work through the stuck memories. You’ll still remember what happened, but it begins to carry less weight. The emotional intensity lessens. The body starts to release what it’s been holding.
Over time, many clients notice their responses feel less automatic. Anxiety decreases. Confidence grows. Relationships start to feel different in ways that are hard to explain but impossible to miss.
Your Pace, Your Process
We always begin with stabilization and grounding before any reprocessing. You’ll never be pushed beyond what feels safe. Every step is collaborative.
“I didn’t think I could feel this different. The weight I’d been carrying just started to lift.”

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
How many EMDR sessions do people typically need?
It depends on history, goals, and pace. Some feel noticeable relief within a few sessions; complex trauma often benefits from longer treatment.
What does an EMDR session feel like?
Grounded, structured, and paced for safety, but also real. EMDR can bring up emotions as memories and sensations shift, yet it’s designed so you stay supported and in control while your nervous system releases what it no longer needs to hold.
Can EMDR help with relationship triggers or attachment styles?
Absolutely, and I’ve seen great relief and changes with this, especially when current reactions are linked to earlier experiences or relational and attachment wounds.
Do you offer EMDR in Miami Beach and online?
Yes. We offer EMDR therapy in-person at our Miami Beach office and virtually for clients throughout the state of Florida. Virtual EMDR sessions are just as effective and allow for greater scheduling flexibility.
As an EMDR therapist, my role is to create a space where your nervous system feels safe enough to begin releasing what it’s been holding, so there’s room for something new.
It’s not about forgetting what happened. It’s about honoring your story while opening the door to a life that feels more connected, more grounded, and more yours.
