EMDR Therapy for Women

with Anxiety in Washington

If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and still feel stuck in old patterns, EMDR might be the missing piece. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a evidence-based therapy that helps you process painful experiences, shift limiting beliefs, and find relief from anxiety that feels stuck in your body.

I use EMDR with women who are high-functioning but struggling—those who feel like their anxiety "doesn't make sense," or who keep looping through the same thoughts no matter how much insight they gain. EMDR helps untangle those loops at the root.

How EMDR Works

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, tapping, or sound) while you revisit past experiences in a structured, guided way. This allows your brain to reprocess memories and beliefs that are fueling anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt—without needing to talk through every detail.

The process is gentle but powerful. We go at your pace, and you remain in control throughout. Many clients report feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded after sessions.

Is EMDR Right For You?

EMDR may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel stuck in patterns you can’t talk yourself out of

  • Struggle with self-worth, even if you “know better” intellectually

  • Have anxiety connected to past experiences, family dynamics, or inner criticism

  • Want a body-based approach to healing, not just more coping skills

It’s especially helpful if you’re tired of overthinking everything—and ready to feel differently, not just think differently.

What EMDR Looks Like in My Practice

You can choose to integrate EMDR into your therapy sessions gradually, or focus on it more directly depending on your goals. I offer EMDR in both online telehealth sessions and walk-and-talk therapy, adapting the process to fit your comfort and lifestyle.

We always start with building safety and trust—there’s no rushing or pushing. When you’re ready, we’ll begin the EMDR process with care, collaboration, and a lot of grounding support along the way.

Ready to Get Unstuck?

If anxiety has been weighing you down and you’re ready for lasting change, EMDR could be a powerful next step. I’d be honored to guide you through it.
