EMDR Therapy in Tulsa

For Trauma, Anxiety, and Attachment Wounds

Can EMDR Therapy Help?

You worry. All the time. And it does not make sense. People say you’re smart and capable. They trust you to handle stuff. On paper, your life looks good. You are ‘successful’. You know you are good at achieving. It’s what you were taught to do. Achieve. Fix. Repair. Rescue others.

But inside, you are always second-guessing yourself and worried about what others think of you.

This has been with you as long as you can remember—dread around people, feeling anxious, insecure, never quite safe. You grew up not talking about feelings. You learned to take care of others, run for cover, or walk on eggshells, but you were never really seen.

You do okay when you’re alone —back in school, at work, even at home. But you’re lonely. Even when you’re with people, you feel separate. You wonder if they’ll leave once they really know you. And sometimes, they do. Especially if you set boundaries, or ask for what you need.

You tell yourself you should be different: less weird, less emotional, less insecure, less… you. You keep striving, but it’s never enough. You achieve things, but it doesn’t land. You still feel like a failure waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sometimes you wonder if it will ever change. If you’ll ever feel safe in your own body, or good enough just as you are.

You aren’t weak and you haven’t failed.

It’s your nervous system still carrying old survival patterns from relationships and environments that didn’t give you what you needed. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, especially when it’s attachment-focused, can bring lasting change.

Hi, I’m Marca, I’m Not Your Average Trauma Therapist. And That’s On Purpose.

Healing trauma requires more than technique — it requires safety, atunement, and someone who is seasoned in helping you creatively hold the full weight of your story, without judgment.

I'm an LMFT and registered nurse with over 30 years of experience in trauma, crisis, and integrative healing. I’ve worked as an EMT and RN, including in emergency rooms and ICUs, and am deeply trained in Nonviolent Communication. Because of this I am hands on, and I’ve led people in their deepest trauma healing as a therapist for over 15 years, holding space for first responders, therapists, veterans, artists, and seekers.

I completed my EMDR training at the Native American Health Center of San Francisco. I am also an artist who helps heal through creativity and imagination and a spiritual practitioner with the lived experience of being a “wounded healer”.

 

This Isn’t About Retelling Old Stories, It’s About Repatterning Your Nervous System

With attachment-focused EMDR therapy, we work together to gently shift those patterns at a deep level—so that you can finally feel safer in your own skin, more connected in your relationships, and freer to live the life you’ve already worked so hard to build.

My clients report experiencing profound shifts:

  • Breaking cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or addictive behaviors

  • Ending toxic family or relationship patterns

  • Developing self-compassion and confidence

  • Reconnecting to creativity, rest, joy, and healthy boundaries

  • Building more authentic and sustainable lives


 What EMDR Therapy in Tulsa Looks Like

This isn’t regular talk therapy. This is a focused and intentional process, with a protocol that also leaves space for an approach that is uniquely tailored to your needs.

With me, EMDR Therapy look like:

  • Attachment-Focused EMDR A specialized approach that combines the power of EMDR with the understanding that healing happens in relationship.

  • Protocol EMDR There is a clinically proven protocol for EMDR therapy. I Many therapists don’t fully follow it and focus on the bilateral stimulation component. I deliver the full protocol (including bilateral stimulation) for maximum effeciveness.

 FAQs

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment that helps your brain and body reprocess trauma, anxiety, and painful memories so they no longer run the show. Instead of endlessly talking about your story, EMDR helps your nervous system resolve it at the root — creating new pathways for safety, resilience, and self-worth.

    When EMDR is combined with an attachment focus, it doesn’t just address traumatic memories. It helps heal the earliest wounds of not feeling seen, safe, or fully accepted. That’s why so many of my clients finally feel like they can step into life authentically — with more trust, connection, and self-compassion.

  • EMDR therapy can be profoundly effective for people struggling with:

    • PTSD and complex trauma

    • Panic attacks and chronic anxiety

    • Childhood trauma and attachment wounds

    • Emotional abuse or neglect

    • Depression linked to unresolved trauma

    • Grief, loss, or loneliness that never seems to shift

    • Relationship patterns of codependency, people-pleasing, or fear of abandonment description
