In-Person & Zoom/Virtual Sessions Available Worldwide

Heal the Past So You Can Live Fully in the Present

If you’re struggling with anxiety, emotional triggers, or painful memories that seem stuck on repeat, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the nervous system, affecting how you feel, think, and show up in relationships and daily life.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process and release those unresolved memories safely, gently, and effectively. This work has been around for 40 years and is research-validated.

Chris has also studied with Gabor Mate’ in Trauma work – and today, Gabor is the most popular trauma therapist out there globally.

For more information on EMDR, please go to www.emdr.com (The EMDR Institute) & review the section “What is EMDR Therapy?”

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences so that they no longer hold the same emotional charge. It’s especially effective for those living with:

PTSD or Complex PTSD
Childhood trauma or abuse
Anxiety and panic attacks

Emotional or relational trauma
Loss, grief, or unresolved pain
Disturbing memories that won’t go away

Using guided bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements), EMDR allows your brain to rewire how it holds onto trauma, helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control.
