When you’ve done the talking. Now it’s time to feel different. Clients come to me when they are ready to move to the next phase of healing.

You understand your patterns. You’ve talked about what happened. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before. But knowing why you feel the way you do hasn’t necessarily helped you feel better.

If you’re ready for something different, EMDR Intensives offer a focused way to work with what’s keeping you stuck—so you can begin to feel different, not just understand yourself better.

  • Most clients prefer the intensive option once a month, but client with severe phobias or budget contraints can opt for hourly sessions once a week. Payment plans are options if the intensives are. better fit. This type of session is great for an intake session or a nervous system reset.

  • Two to four hour sessions are my specialization. This format is intense in the sense that we still go at your pace, but the overall work is deeper and therefore can be faster in finding lasting relief. You can enquire about weekend availability if you’d prefer a 4-6 hour format. Please contact me with additional questions.

  • OCD and phobias can be difficult to manage, but you’re not alone. ERP and EMDR have shown to be effective ways to get over phobias and lower the overall time and severity of OCD symptoms through exposure, in small and planned in session exposures.

  • This type of therapy works for those who are chronically stressed and living in fight or flight/freeze or fawn. I use different modalities in the somatic and EMDR modalities, including touch to help you integrate the work we’ve been doing, but also to increase the window of tolerance through consent based touch. “Borrow my nervous system for an hour.”

  • Many people come. me to work out their issues with their side of the dysfunction. Relational Life Therapy can address trauma and truth telling for a more honest and life-giving relationship. This therapy is great for a freshen up, a new relationship, or a high conflict relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR in San Diego

What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?

1

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based treatment that helps your brain process and resolve traumatic memories that are stuck. It uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, while you hold a memory in mind, enabling your nervous system to process the trauma without detailed verbal recounting.

What's the difference between EMDR and Somatic EMDR?

2

The difference between EMDR and Somatic EMDR is that Somatic EMDR incorporates body-based awareness in addition to memory and cognition work. This approach addresses trauma stored in the nervous system, such as tension and chronic activation, making it especially effective for those with ongoing bodily symptoms after trauma.

Who is a good fit for Somatic EMDR?

Somatic EMDR works well for adults dealing with PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, grief, and chronic stress. It's particularly suited for high-functioning people who understand their patterns intellectually but can't seem to shift them — because the work happens at the level of the nervous system, not just the mind.

3

How many sessions will I need?

The number of EMDR sessions needed depends on trauma complexity: single-incident trauma may require fewer sessions, while complex or developmental trauma needs longer treatment. Somatic EMDR intensives provide faster progress with longer sessions over fewer days.
