🌿✨ Celebrating 9 Years of Hope & Healing ✨🌿
Nine years ago, I took a leap of faith. I trusted God with a vision to create a space where hearts could heal and hope could be restored. 💛
Today, I’m humbled and grateful for all He has done through this practice, for every client, therapist, and story of transformation. 🙏
Here’s to many more years of faith, growth, and healing! 💫

Healing through EMDR is structured and paced. Below is a simplified snapshot of its 8 phases — showing how the work moves from stabilization into deep reprocessing, then back into integration.

The 8 Phases (at a glance):

History & Treatment Planning

Preparation (grounding, safety skills)

Assessment (select memory, cognitions, body sensations)

Desensitization (processing with bilateral stimulation)

Installation (reinforcing a positive belief)

Body Scan (check for residual tension)

Closure (end session grounded)

Reevaluation (check progress in following sessions)

Each phase is essential — skipping or rushing can reduce safety or effectiveness.

Thinking of trying EMDR? Let’s chat about how it might look for you.
