EMDR Therapy in Flower Mound, TX
When past trauma or ongoing stress keeps your mind and body on high alert, life can feel exhausting, overwhelming, or “off.”
You might notice restless nights, intrusive thoughts, anxiety or panic spikes, irritability, numbness, or feeling on edge in situations that once felt safe. Avoiding people, places, or conversations can become a habit.
EMDR is designed to help you find lasting relief, calm your nervous system, and feel fully present and safe again.
Even if you don’t call it “trauma,” you know something isn’t right. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening, link symptoms to past experiences, and determine if EMDR is the right fit for your unique needs.
At Lemon Grove Counseling, EMDR offers a structured, evidence-based path forward. Sessions begin with practical, calming skills to practice between visits, then gently reprocess the memories or patterns that trigger stress. The result is fewer triggers, steadier moods, better sleep, and more freedom to engage fully in life—for children, teens, and adults, available in-person in Flower Mound or online across Texas.
Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to know where to start.
At Lemon Grove Counseling, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can express yourself, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.
As a trauma-informed Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) specializing in EMDR therapy, I help clients process past trauma, reduce anxiety, and overcome emotional challenges. In our work together, we’ll gently uncover the patterns, beliefs, and emotions that may be holding you back, identify what’s no longer serving you, and clarify what you want to carry forward. EMDR helps your brain and body reprocess distressing memories, reducing the intensity of triggers and creating space for healing, growth, and emotional freedom.
My Goal:
Help you reconnect with your values and inner strengths, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.
This journey isn’t about achieving perfection — it’s about transforming life’s “lemons” into resilience, growth, and lasting change.
EMDR Therapy for PTSD and Trauma
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess stuck or distressing memories, calming the nervous system and reducing the intensity of triggers. Clients often experience fewer flashbacks, reduced anxiety, steadier moods, better sleep, and practical coping tools they can use between sessions. Sessions are paced according to your nervous system, starting with grounding skills and building toward deeper trauma processing, ensuring safety and lasting relief. Modalities may be integrated as needed, including IFS, NET, and psychodrama.
