As a practicing psychotherapist specializing in EMDR and trauma, I've spent years helping clients find stability and calm in the midst of anxiety and stress. Every week in my practice, I guide people through gentle, evidence-based stabilization techniques—like bilateral stimulation, the butterfly hug, and safe-place exercises—that can make a real difference in daily life. I founded Pathways with Saloomeh and developed the SAZ Method to bring these tools to more people, always with a deep respect for their power and their limits.
My motivation for creating this app comes from seeing how much my clients benefit from these techniques, not just in session but in their everyday routines. I know firsthand how important it is to have safe, structured ways to manage distress between therapy sessions, and how empowering it can be to track triggers, log distress levels, and prepare for deeper work with a therapist.
I designed this app to be a supportive companion—never a replacement for therapy or a tool for unsupervised trauma reprocessing, but a way to bring the stabilizing side of EMDR into your hands, whenever you need it. My hope is that these guided exercises and tracking features help you find more calm, resilience, and self-understanding, whether you're working with a therapist or simply seeking everyday relief from stress.
Above all, I want you to feel safe and supported as you use this app, knowing that every feature is grounded in real clinical experience and a deep commitment to your well-being.
