How I work with EMDR

In sessions, we’ll work collaboratively to create a safe, structured space. EMDR combines elements of talk therapy with guided attention to support your brain’s natural processing abilities. Because it integrates cognitive, emotional, and bodily awareness, EMDR can be a natural fit for ADHD brains, helping you notice patterns and reactions you might otherwise miss and translate those insights into practical strategies for daily life.

What EMDR Sessions Look Like:

• We start by talking through what’s been challenging and what matters most to you.

• Together, we identify experiences that may be shaping your current thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.

• Using EMDR techniques, we gently work through these experiences, at a pace that feels safe and comfortable. Sessions are paced to your comfort–you’re in control throughout.

• You leave with greater clarity, more balance, and tools to move forward in your daily life.

What you can expect

EMDR may help you:

• Reduce the intensity of difficult memories or emotional reactions

• Gain insight into patterns that keep you stuck

• Build greater self-compassion and resilience

• Support other therapy goals, such as improving focus, managing overwhelm, or navigating relationships

Sessions are collaborative and paced to your needs, with plenty of guidance and support throughout. EMDR can be used alongside talk therapy, mindfulness, and CBT-style tools, depending on what’s most helpful for you.
