EMDR Counseling & Consulting

 At Bright Awakenings Counseling, I offer trauma-informed EMDR therapy for teens and adults who are ready to heal deeply and finally feel free. Whether you’re struggling with the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse or feel stuck in patterns of codependency and people-pleasing, our work together can help you reconnect with your worth, find peace, and build a life you love. 


 As an EMDRIA-approved consultant, I provide consultation for therapists trained in EMDR who are working toward certification or who want support integrating EMDR and ego state work into their practice. 

Two Paths to Healing, One Safe Place to Begin

Therapy for Childhood Sexual Abuse

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse often carry shame, confusion, and emotional pain for years, sometimes decades. You may find yourself struggling with:


  • Depression and anxiety (including fear, guilt, shame, irritability)
     
  • PTSD symptoms (like flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts)
     
  • Avoidance of anything that reminds you of the abuse
     
  • Body-based symptoms, including chronic pelvic pain or tension
     
  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in your own body
     

I use EMDR therapy, a powerful and research-backed approach that helps your brain reprocess traumatic experiences so they no longer feel like they’re happening in the present. Together, we’ll help you feel safe, whole, and in control again.

You may have grown up in a home where you were expected to be the responsible one—or had a parent who was emotionally unavailable, addicted, or unstable. Today, that might look like:


  • Chronic people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
     
  • Feeling like your value comes from being helpful
     
  • Anxiety, over-functioning, and emotional burnout
     
  • Struggling to prioritize your own needs
     
  • Low self-worth and a harsh inner critic
     

These patterns often stem from childhood emotional neglect or growing up in families impacted by addiction. EMDR and ego state therapy can help you understand where these patterns came from—and release them so you can live with boundaries, peace, and confidence.

Your Path to Healing Starts Here

How Therapy Works

 I offer both weekly 50-minute sessions and 3-hour EMDR intensives, available in-person or through telehealth. Together, we’ll work at your pace to move from survival mode into healing and growth. 

Ready to Heal? Let’s Talk.

 If you're ready to stop spinning in old patterns and finally heal the root of the pain, I’d love to support you. E-mail or call to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
