EMDR Therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based way of helping you reduce negative beliefs about yourself, the world, and others, which helps you feel more safe, loveable, and worthy. And yes, it works in online therapy, too!

EMDR is a body-based treatment that includes using bilateral stimulation (meaning both sides of the body) through eye movements, tapping, or sounds while focusing on the trauma or upsetting event. The idea of focusing on the event(s) itself might sound scary. But I’ll be there to guide you, and each window of bilateral stimulation lasts only 30-90 seconds. We take breaks to help you process and experience shifts in bodily sensations and emotions, until you begin to experience relief.

Sessions can be completed during 50 minute sessions or can be done in an intensive format consisting of 3-6 hour blocks at a time.

Benefits of EMDR Intensives:

Intensives are a time-efficient and depth-oriented technique that can support you in feeling better faster. With more time devoted upfront, you shorten treatment by weeks or even months. This can be helpful for people who want to achieve change faster, for whom it is more urgent, or for those with busy schedules who may not be able to commit to weekly therapy every week and would rather do work in larger chunks. Another additional benefit of EMDR intensives is that it can reduce the amount of time in prolonged distress between sessions that may come up and impair daily functioning because we get through trauma memories more quickly.
