Trauma Relief

Healing from trauma takes courage, and it’s absolutely possible when we approach it through both a mind and body connection. My trauma relief sessions are designed to gently reduce emotional distress and help you regain a sense of calm, confidence, and control.

With extensive experience supporting first responders, veterans, individuals with complex PTSD, and survivors of domestic violence, I understand the deep impact of chronic stress and trauma on the nervous system and relationships. Using evidence-informed techniques that incorporate eye movement and relaxation-based strategies, we work together to safely reprocess painful experiences and restore balance.

Each session is personalized to meet you exactly where you are, while integrating mindfulness, grounding, and goal-setting to foster stability, resilience, and renewed direction. The focus is on helping you move forward with clarity and strength while creating a life that reflects healing, purpose, and hope.

  • Unresolved trauma can lead to measurable changes in the nervous system, with studies showing that trauma survivors have significantly heightened autonomic arousal, affecting heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension.

  • Neuroimaging research shows that unresolved trauma can cause the amygdala—the brain’s fear center—to become up to 20% more reactive, increasing anxiety and stress responses.

  • About 35–45% of people with chronic pain also meet criteria for PTSD, demonstrating how trauma is frequently "stored" and expressed through the body.

Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI)

What is MEMI?

MEMI (Multichannel Eye Movement Integration) is a brain-based trauma therapy that helps you process and release distressing memories, without having to retell your story. Guided eye movements help your brain reorganize how it stores trauma so it no longer hijacks your emotions or body. Your brain does the rest of the work, naturally reorganizing how the memory is stored and accessed.

How does MEMI work?

Using structured eye movement patterns and verbal prompts, MEMI activates multiple brain regions at once. This helps calm the nervous system and reprocess trauma or distressing memories at a deep, physical level. It targets visual, emotional, and body-based responses all at once.

MEMI FAQ’S

How is MEMI different from EMDR?

Unlike EMDR, which uses side-to-side movements and often requires retelling your trauma, MEMI uses multidirectional patterns, needs no story, and includes a body-first approach. It’s often gentler and faster, for those who feel stuck.

What happens during a session?

Sessions last 60–90 minutes. After a brief intake, we use safety checks and begin eye movement work. You stay seated and in control, thinking about the trauma while I guide your eyes. Many clients report relief in the very first session.

What can MEMI help with?

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • Childhood abuse

  • Combat and duty-related trauma

  • Car accidents, medical trauma, and assault

  • Panic, hyper vigilance, chronic pain, and more

How quickly does it work?

Some people experience major shifts after just one session. Complex trauma may take a few sessions. Most clients say it works faster and deeper than talk therapy.

Can MEMI work with other therapies?

Yes. MEMI complements talk therapy, somatic work, and medication. Many clients use it to target trauma while continuing other support.

Is there research behind MEMI?

MEMI is supported by the same neurological principles as EMDR, with added techniques that access broader trauma responses. While more research is underway, clinical results are promising and often immediate.

What can I expect after a session?

You may feel lighter, calmer, or more grounded. Some experience vivid dreams or physical release, usually short-lived. Most feel relief without retraumatization.

How do I get started?

Book a consultation call to see if MEMI is right for you. Whether you’re a first responder, military veteran, or anyone ready to stop reliving trauma, you don’t have to carry it anymore.
