Tired of feeling stuck?

Feeling stuck can be deeply uncomfortable, but it’s also a signal. It’s your mind and body telling you that something needs attention, that growth or change is calling. EMDR therapy can help you make those changes.

People get stuck in life for a variety of reasons, often a mix of internal and external factors. At its core, being stuck is about a mismatch between where you are and where you want to be, compounded by barriers that feel too overwhelming to overcome. 

With EMDR therapy, I can help you get to the bottom of what's keeping you stuck and clear out those negative beliefs that are holding you hostage so that those dreams you have can be real.

Each person’s experience of being stuck is unique. By understanding why you feel stuck, you can tailor solutions that address the specific barriers in your life. The first step is self-awareness—examining not just what’s holding you back, but also what you truly want to move toward.

Here are some of the common reasons why people get stuck:

  • Perfectionism, Imposter Syndrome and Self-Doubt

  • Trauma & Stuck Emotions

  • Anxiety & Fear of Failure or Change or even Success

  • Disordered Eating Patterns

  • Overthinking

  • Negative self-talk, past conditioning, fixed mindset.

  • Chronic stress, hopelessness, numbing out.

  • Undefined goals, mismatched priorities, societal pressure.

  • Avoidance, procrastination.

Break free from “Not Good Enough”

Through EMDR therapy, you'll discover how to:

  • Release perfectionist patterns holding you back

  • Build genuine self-trust and confidence

  • Process trauma without reliving it

  • Transform negative self-beliefs

  • Move forward with your goals and dreams

The EMDR Difference

When I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy with clients I start by normalizing what they have internalized from childhood. It's almost like you have a Teflon coating so that your achievements and successes slide right off of you but you wear a velcro jacket so that all of your mistakes, big and little, stick right to you. 

EMDR therapy will neutralize the uncomfortable thoughts and emotions that accompany any experiences that have left you feeling “not good enough” and allow you to move forward and tackle whatever you have been avoiding out of fear.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a complete therapy. It is so much more than just the reprocessing phase that you may be familiar with where the client follows the therapists fingers with their eyes.

    It actually includes 8 phases which include history gathering, preparation (tools and resources), desensitization (trauma processing), body scan to make sure that your body isn’t holding onto any unprocessed emotion, and a phase to reevaluate for changes that have occurred.

  • EMDR uses a 3-pronged approach that explores past experiences that contribute to present-day symptoms, present day triggers, and future goals.

  • First of all, it works!

    It typically works faster than other therapies.

    It does not require you to discuss the disturbing details of whatever you want to work on. It lets your brain do the heavy lifting for you.
