Find Healing with EMDR Therapy in Lenexa, KS
Feel stuck in the past?
EMDR is a gentle, powerful therapy that helps your brain and body heal from overwhelming memories, distressing thoughts, and deep emotional pain. Whether you're coping with trauma, anxiety, or experiences that still feel “too much,” EMDR offers a way forward—without having to relive everything in detail.
This is for you if you’re ready to feel differently about the past and start living more fully in the present.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess painful memories and emotional triggers so they no longer feel as distressing. It’s commonly used for trauma, but can also help with anxiety, grief, negative self-beliefs, and more.
You don’t have to talk through every detail of your experiences. Instead, EMDR works by stimulating the brain’s natural healing process, often through eye movements, tapping, or sound. The result? You gain distance from what once overwhelmed you—and space for calm, clarity, and growth.
I offer EMDR therapy in Lenexa, KS, to help women process trauma and feel more emotionally grounded.
“Changing the memories that form the way we see ourselves also changes the way we view others. Therefore, our relationships, job performance, what we are willing to do or are able to resist, all move in a positive direction.”

While focusing on a memory, you’ll engage in gentle bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping). This helps your brain reprocess the experience—reducing emotional charge and shifting how it’s stored.

As the memory loses intensity, new, more helpful beliefs can take its place. You may feel lighter, more empowered, or like the memory is finally in the past.
