EMDR therapy online.
Rewire your mind, virtually anywhere.
Sometimes it feels like you can’t breathe, like you’re heavy or trapped.
You know there are things you need to work on, but facing the confusing mess of your past seems impossible. Maybe you’ve tried talk therapy before, only to feel like it didn’t help. Anxiety shows up unannounced, nightmares disturb your rest, and triggers seem to come out of nowhere.Concentrating is hard—tasks go unfinished, conversations feel like a blur, and zoning out has become second nature. Being in public makes you feel on edge, as if something bad is about to happen. Whether you’re reading, writing, or just trying to connect with others, it’s exhausting.
What is EMDR?
Similar to an infection that prevents a wound from healing, an upsetting experience can fester long after it’s over. The brain is built to adapt and change as we learn from new experiences. When the experience is too disturbing, this process is interrupted and unhealthy things happen.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), is a tool to clear out the “rotten” memories so the brain can get back on track. This therapy goes deeper than talking and helps your mind physically rewire itself for healthier thinking. The results are so powerful that they can be photographed by an MRI machine. During our sessions I guide you in thinking about these difficult memories, while engaging your brain with a repetitive activity.
(Ex. follow a moving dot with your eyes, tap your hands in a pattern, listen to a series of tones etc). This connects both sides of your brain so you can process the memory at the nervous system level. EMDR therapy targets the root of your distress by transforming the way you (and your body) respond to things. We will go deeper than surface-level conversation to achieve results that feel instinctual & effortless. We can actually undo those automatic responses you wish you didn’t have and change the patterns that leave you wondering, “Why am I like this?”. With EMDR, healing happens without the need to recount every detail. You only need to share as much as you feel comfortable with, and even that can be minimal.
How does EMDR work online?
-
My practice is entirely virtual and sessions are done by video call. I’m passionate about offering EMDR online because it ensures therapy remains accessible & effective, no matter a person’s circumstances. I was among the first generation of EMDR therapists trained to adapt this therapy to a virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time when many clients felt unsafe meeting in person, we had to get creative and resourceful. We refused to quit on our clients, and in doing so discovered that EMDR could be just as impactful online with the right tools and approach.
-
The technology I use turns any of your devices into the most cutting-edge EMDR equipment. I use a web-based platform called ‘Bilateral Base’ to provide the same high-quality experience as in-person EMDR . I’ve watched this field evolve rapidly since its start in 2020 & I believe this platform is one of our greatest breakthroughs yet.
