Therapy For When The Past Still Lives In Your Body

You might be wondering why certain memories, sensations, or reactions still have such a hold on you, even after years, even after you’ve “moved on.”


Stuck trauma symptoms:

  • A quickened heartbeat or tension that comes out of nowhere.

  • Flashbacks or vivid mental images that replay without your control.

  • Feeling on edge, emotionally flooded, or disconnected.

  • A sense that your mind knows you’re safe, but your body doesn’t believe it.

Insight alone hasn’t changed the way you feel. That’s where EMDR comes in.

People Come To Me When:

You don’t have to have a formal PTSD diagnosis to benefit from EMDR. What matters is how your body and emotions respond to past experiences that haven’t fully healed.

  • Certain memories still feel vivid or “too close,” even after time has passed.

  • You find yourself triggered by things that seem small or unrelated.

  • You know something wasn’t your fault, but can’t fully feel that truth.

  • You experience anxiety, panic, shame, or physical sensations that seem tied to old experiences.

  • You feel emotionally numb or disconnected — like part of you shut down to stay safe.

  • You’ve already done some therapy work and want a deeper, body-based approach.

My patients report significant relief as soon as
6–12 sessions.

Hi! I’m Natalie.

An intuitive and client-centered therapist who focuses on somatic and integrative healing.

I specialize in trauma-informed and somatic psychotherapy, blending a range of evidence-based and holistic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.

In my work, I offer a space of focused, grounded presence—giving you my full attention. I listen not only with my ears, but with my body—attuning to shifts in energy, breath, tone, and nervous system cues. This embodied connection helps guide the work moment to moment, revealing when to pause, go deeper, or bring in regulation tools.

EMDR With Me

  • Doesn't require you to talk in detail about the painful event(s) you want to process.

  • Uses bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while you focus briefly on a memory.

  • Helps your brain reprocess the memory in a way that reduces its emotional charge and allows you to integrate it more adaptively.

At its core, EMDR helps your brain do what it naturally wants to do — heal.

What to Expect in Our EMDR Sessions

  • You don't have to go into the whole story.
    EMDR focuses on what still feels stuck — like emotions, beliefs, or body reactions — instead of re-telling every detail.

  • We’ll start with a memory that still affects you.
    Maybe it causes anxiety, shame, or just won’t stop looping in your mind.

  • Emotions, thoughts, or body sensations may come up.
    That’s normal — and you’re always in charge. We go at your pace.

  • The goal? For the memory to feel less painful and more neutral.
    Many people say, “It still happened, but it doesn’t hurt the same way anymore.”

EMDR Therapy Results

  • Rewriting of Personal Narrative – The way you see yourself may shift as you release old limiting beliefs and move away from being defined by your trauma.

  • Less Hyper-vigilance – You’ll experience a calmer nervous system and feel less preoccupied with scanning for threats.

  • Freedom from Shame or Guilt – You’ll feel a lightness as a result of absolving yourself of guilt (especially common for childhood or interpersonal trauma).

  • Reconnection with Body – You’ll be more able to enjoy being present and connected with your body and its sensations.

  • Strengthened Boundaries – You may notice clearer limits with people or situations that used to overwhelm you.

Working with Natalie has been a very meaningful experience. She made me feel understood and helped me learn what self-validation truly means, that my emotions matter and what I feel is real. I came in with a lot of anxiety, ruminations, and compulsive thoughts and behaviors. At first, I sometimes worried about what I should prepare or say in session, but I quickly realized that I didn’t need to. Natalie taught me the importance of being present in the here and now, and through that I’ve gained real skills to bring myself back, regulate, and find balance. It was easy to be in the room with her, and I felt safe and supported as I worked through difficult emotions. - Diana, NYC

EMDR changed my life. Talk therapy was nice but it hadn’t really helped me feel different. I was still so triggered all the time. EMDR with Natalie was incredible. I feel lighter. I feel more in control of my body. The whole process was clear and everything moved at my pace. I just feel like I have skills now. I don’t feel so lost. - Anonymous
