About EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is widely regarded as one of the most effective trauma therapies available. Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, it is:

• Endorsed by the World Health Organization, American Psychiatric Association, Department of Defense, and the Veteran’s Administration

• Backed by decades of clinical research

• Designed to resolve traumatic memories quickly and thoroughly

Shanna combines EMDR with complementary, brain-based modalities for an accelerated path to healing that honors each client’s pace and internal system.

In Shanna’s Words

“With more than 18 years in the mental health field, my passion has always been helping individuals find freedom from the burden of trauma—whether it stems from childhood, single-event incidents, or years of complex experiences.

My clinical lens is trauma-focused, neuroscience-informed, and integration-driven. I specialize in working with clients who may have tried therapy before but are still searching for real, lasting relief.

I’ve built my practice to offer care that is efficient, deeply respectful of the nervous system, and rooted in the belief that transformation is absolutely possible.”
