EMDR for Anxiety

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

I use EMDR with women who feel like their anxiety "doesn't make sense," who experience physical effects of anxiety, 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.

EMDR can bring up difficult emotions as we process past experiences, which is why we prioritize preparation and moving at a pace that feels manageable for you. As therapy progresses, you may begin to feel clearer, lighter, and more grounded.

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 rooted in past experiences that you can’t seem to shake

  • Constantly overthink or replay conversations in your mind

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

It’s especially helpful if you’re tired of overthinking everything and are 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 through online telehealth sessions across Washington, adapting the process to fit your comfort and lifestyle.

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

Yes! I offer EMDR therapy virtually to clients throughout Washington State. Online EMDR uses approaches adapted for telehealth, allowing us to work together from a private, comfortable space of your choosing.

Can EMDR therapy be done online?

1


Not necessarily. While EMDR is well established as a treatment for PTSD, it can also be used to address experiences and beliefs that contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, and other concerns. We'll explore whether EMDR is appropriate for your individual needs.

Do I need to have experienced trauma to benefit from EMDR?

2


That depends on your history, goals, and what you'd like to work through. Some clients focus on a particular experience, while others benefit from longer-term work. We'll collaborate on a treatment plan that fits your needs.
