EMDR Therapy in Utah For Trauma That Hasn't Responded to Talk Therapy

If you are searching for EMDR therapy in Utah, there is a good chance you have already tried therapy before.

Many of my clients come to EMDR after years of trying to feel better. They may have worked hard in therapy but still feel stuck. Some have even been told they are “too complex,” “resistant,” or “difficult to treat.”

I want you to know something important:

You are not the problem.

Trauma is stored in the body and nervous system, not just in thoughts. This means that insight alone is often not enough to create relief.

EMDR therapy helps the brain and body process traumatic experiences so these past experiences can finally move into the past where they belong.

As an EMDR therapist in Utah, I work with adults, children, professionals, healthcare workers, and trauma survivors who want deeper healing not just temporary coping strategies.

If you are ready for something different, EMDR therapy may help.

Starting trauma therapy can feel like a big step. You deserve a therapist who listens carefully and understands the complexity of trauma.

If you are looking for EMDR therapy in Utah, I invite you to reach out.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk a little bit about what you are looking for and see if we may be a good fit for therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Therapy in Utah

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help people process traumatic memories that are stuck in the nervous system.

    Traumatic memories are not stored like ordinary memories. They can remain emotionally and physically activated long after the event has passed.

    EMDR helps the brain and body do what they were originally meant to do: process and integrate experiences so healing can occur.

    EMDR does not erase memories.


    Instead, it helps place them where they belong in the past rather than constantly intruding into the present.

    Many people find that once traumatic memories are processed, they experience:

    • Less emotional distress

    • Fewer intrusive memories

    • Reduced anxiety and hypervigilance

    • Greater self-compassion

    • A renewed sense of possibility in their lives

  • Yes. EMDR is a well researched therapy used around the world for trauma treatment. When practiced by a trained therapist who prioritizes preparation and stabilization, it can be a very safe and effective approach.

    My approach is gentle and we move at a pace that is comfortable for you.

  • As an EMDR therapist in Utah, I work with a wide range of trauma experiences, including:

    • Childhood trauma

    • Complex trauma

    • PTSD

    • Anxiety related to trauma

    • Attachment trauma

    • OCD connected to traumatic experiences

    • Medical trauma

    • Trauma experienced by healthcare workers and first responders

    I also frequently work with:

    • Women healing from trauma

    • Professionals, including therapists and counselors

    • Neurodiverse individuals navigating trauma

    Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful people who have worked hard in therapy before but still feel like something hasn’t shifted yet.

    EMDR can often reach places that traditional talk therapy cannot.

  • Every person’s trauma history is a little different. Some clients experience relief within a relatively short period of time, while others with more complex trauma benefit from longer-term therapy.

    The pace is always tailored to your needs.

  • No. EMDR does not require you to describe every detail of traumatic experiences. Many clients appreciate that EMDR can work with memories without needing to verbally relive everything.

  • Yes. Research has shown that online EMDR therapy is just as effective as in-person EMDR for many clients. In fact, many clients once they get started doing EMDR via telehealth wonder why they waited so long to get started!

    Telehealth also removes common barriers to care, such as:

    • Long commutes

    • Taking time off work

    • Finding childcare

    • Limited access to specialized trauma therapists

    Online therapy allows you to engage in trauma work from the comfort and safety of your own space.

  • In addition to EMDR training, I also have a background in expressive arts therapy.

    When it feels appropriate, and always with your permission, I may incorporate creative or expressive elements into the EMDR process.

    Expressive work can help access emotional experiences that are sometimes difficult to put into words.

    This can be particularly helpful for:

    • Children

    • Neurodiverse clients

    • Trauma that feels hard to verbalize

    The goal is always the same: helping your mind and body move through trauma toward healing.

It is time to call and get help. You’ve waited long enough.
