EMDR & Trauma Therapy in Greenville, South Carolina

Some memories stay in the body long after the mind tries to move on. You might find yourself tense without knowing why, on edge in quiet moments, or replaying things you wish you could forget. It’s not weakness — it’s your body holding on to what it couldn’t fully process.

EMDR and trauma therapy can help you untangle those memories safely, so they no longer feel like they’re running your life. Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace — helping your body release what it’s been holding and reconnecting you with a sense of safety, ease, and self-trust.

Together we will

Gently untangle the memories your body still holds, so they stop showing up as tension, fear, or overwhelm.
Rebuild a sense of safety inside yourself — a place your nervous system can finally rest.
Soften the edges of hyper vigilance, helping your body learn that it’s safe to exhale again.
Release the shame that keeps you questioning your strength or your story.

Find new ways to respond when old triggers arise — with awareness, not panic.
Transform pain into understanding, giving meaning and voice to what once felt unspeakable.
Reconnect you with the parts of yourself that felt lost, frozen, or silenced.
Help you move forward — not by forgetting the past, but by no longer being defined by it.

Trauma doesn’t just live in your mind — it lives in your body. Even after the event is over, your nervous system can stay on alert, reacting to triggers that make it feel like the past is still happening. In therapy, we begin by helping your body and mind feel safe again. Through grounding, gentle awareness, and nervous system regulation, you’ll learn how to calm your body’s alarm system and feel more in control.

When you’re ready, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain finish processing what it couldn’t at the time of the trauma. As those memories and triggers lose their intensity, they stop taking over your thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll move at your pace to help your body release what it’s been holding, so you can feel present, connected, and safe in your life again.
