EMDR Therapy
for Latinas
For when you understand what happened — but something still feels stuck.
You’ve carried so much for so long
with strength.
with survival.
with everything you had.
Talking about it has helped — and still, some of it hasn't moved. That's not a failure of the work you've already done. It's just that certain experiences don't live in the part of your mind that words can reach.
They live in your body. In the way you react before you've had a chance to think. In the tightness that shows up without warning. In the memories that feel just as present now as the day they happened.
You've tried to make sense of the past. And still, something feels stuck — like no matter how much you understand it, it keeps pulling you back.
You don't have to keep carrying it this way.
EMDR works where words alone haven't been able to reach — helping your mind and body finally process what's been held, so it can begin to feel like the past instead of the present.
So — what is EMDR?
EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — is a gentle, research-backed therapy that helps your brain and body process experiences that have stayed stuck. Not by reliving them in detail, but by helping your nervous system finally complete what it couldn't finish at the time.
It may be a good fit if you find yourself:
Reacting to situations with emotions that feel bigger than the moment deserves
Carrying beliefs about yourself — that you're too much, not enough, or that your needs don't matter — that no amount of logic seems to shift
Feeling triggered, shut down, or on edge without fully understanding why
Carrying pain that was never named in your family — because feelings weren't talked about, or because there simply wasn't space for them
Having tried to talk through it, push through it, or pray through it — and still feeling like something underneath hasn't moved
You don't have to retell your story in detail or relive what happened. We work with what your body is already holding — gently, at your pace.
What EMDR Looks Like in Session
Sessions feel less like traditional talk therapy and more like a guided, internal process. We slow down together. We check in with what your body is holding. And using soft, rhythmic cues — like gentle eye movements, tapping, or sound — we help your brain begin to process what's been stored.
You stay present, aware, and in control the whole time. You're not hypnotized. You're not forced to revisit anything before you're ready. You simply follow what arises — with me alongside you, keeping the pace steady and safe.
Many people describe EMDR as surprisingly quiet. Not dramatic. Not overwhelming. Just a slow, steady sense of something beginning to loosen — memories losing their charge, reactions softening, old pain starting to feel a little further away.
We move gently between past and present — so your body can begin to understand that what happened is over, and that you are safe now.
How I use EMDR in my practice
EMDR with me isn't just a technique — it's a relationship. You won't have to explain your world, your family, or where you come from for us to do this work. I already understand the context you're carrying it in.
I weave EMDR together with body-based approaches that help you stay grounded as we process, always moving at a pace that feels steady and safe — never faster than trust allows.
We don't rush the process.
We build safety first.
We move at the pace of trust.
Is EMDR Right for You?
You don't have to know for sure right now.
You don't have to arrive with a diagnosis, a clear timeline, or even a name for what you've been carrying. Maybe you've never called it trauma. Maybe what happened doesn't feel "bad enough" to deserve this kind of care. Maybe you've just known for a long time that something is still there — and you're finally ready to find out what's possible on the other side of it.
If you've ever thought "I thought I was past this — but it still feels present," that's exactly the feeling EMDR was made for.
You don't need certainty to begin. You just need one conversation.
In-Person or Online — Healing Is Still Possible
EMDR works online too.
And it works just as well.
I've supported many women across Texas and Nevada through virtual EMDR — with the same care, depth, and presence as in-person sessions. The screen doesn't change what happens between us. What matters most is the relationship, the pace we move at, and the sense of safety we build together.
Wherever you are — at home, in your car, in a quiet corner of your day — this work can reach you there.
What starts to shift
Not all at once. But steadily — session by session.
The memory — that used to hijack your day starts to lose its charge
The reaction — that caught you off guard — the tightness, the shutdown, the wave of emotion — begins to soften
The thoughts — you can think about what happened without being pulled back into it
The belief underneath — I'm not safe, I'm too much, I should have done something different — starts to lose its grip too
What's left is something steadier. A little more room to breathe. A little more ease in the body that's been bracing for so long.
You Don’t Have to Keep Carrying This Alone.
Something brought you here today. Maybe it was curiosity. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was that quiet sense that you've been holding something for a long time — and you're finally ready to put it down.
Whatever it was — it was enough. And so are you.
No pressure. Just a conversation to see if this feels right.
