Depth EMDR
Depth-oriented • Trauma-informed • Nervous-system attuned
(Telehealth only • California/Georgia/Florida)
A quick orientation
Depth EMDR is the way I practice trauma-informed therapy when EMDR is clinically appropriate — grounded, structured, and paced so the work is deep without becoming overwhelming. It integrates EMDR with careful attention to the nervous system and a Jungian, depth-psychology lens that welcomes meaning, imagery, and inner life when useful. The depth psychology piece is never imposed — it follows the person, not a framework.
What is EMDR
EMDR is a way of working with the nervous system that helps experiences that feel "stuck" begin to move again. Rather than only talking through the past, EMDR gently engages the brain's natural capacity to process and integrate what was overwhelming or unfinished. As attention moves between present-moment awareness and inner experience, memories often soften, emotions settle, and new understanding can emerge — not because anything is forced, but because the system is given the right conditions to reorganize. Used thoughtfully and at a careful pace, EMDR can support healing that feels both grounding and meaningful — helping the past loosen its grip so more choice is available in the present.

What makes Depth EMDR different
Depth EMDR is built on trust in the person's own healing process rather than on managing outcomes. The therapist's job is to hold the container and follow where the process leads — not to steer it toward what healing is supposed to look like from the outside. That orientation shapes everything:
Stabilization first (we build capacity before pushing into intensity)
A workable pace (deep work without overwhelm)
Grounding and resourcing (so your system learns safety, not just insight)
Somatic attention (we work with what the body is communicating)
A depth lens when helpful (meaning, imagery, dreams, inner life — following the person, never imposed)
Adaptation for neurodivergent needs (structure, sensory considerations, communication style)
What sessions can include
Depending on your goals and what's clinically appropriate, sessions may move between:
EMDR processing
grounding and nervous-system regulation
somatic resourcing and capacity-building
reflective meaning-making
imaginal or symbolic dialogue (Jungian-informed when useful)
Common themes
I work with
burnout, anxiety spikes, shutdown
grief and loss that never fully processed
trauma held in the body (hypervigilance, numbness, overwhelm)
relational rupture or repeating patterns
"I know what's happening, but I can't change it."
Who it’s for
Depth EMDR tends to be a strong fit if you:
are high-performing but have hit a wall
feel stuck despite insight or prior therapy
are ready to move from understanding your experience to inhabiting it
want trauma-informed work that is structured, steady, and not performative
have a rich inner life and want therapy that can engage it with skill and care
need therapy adapted to you (including neurodivergent pacing and structure)
When it may not be the best fit
Depth EMDR may not be appropriate if:
you need a higher level of care than outpatient telehealth can provide
your location falls outside my licensure/jurisdiction at the time of session
you are seeking a crisis service or immediate response (see Crisis Resources)
If I'm not the right fit, I'll aim to tell you clearly and help point you toward appropriate options.
