EMDR Therapy
Online EMDR Therapy in Seattle & across Washington
If you feel stuck in emotional patterns that do not shift even after understanding them or using coping skills, EMDR therapy may be helpful for you.
You may notice that you understand where your reactions come from, but your body and emotions still respond as if the experience is happening now.
EMDR helps you work with these deeper emotional and nervous system responses so things can begin to feel different.
EMDR Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, and Low Self-Esteem
EMDR therapy can support you if you are struggling with:
Anxiety, chronic stress, or feeling on edge
Trauma or distressing past experiences that still feel triggering
Low self-esteem or harsh self-criticism (for example, “I am not good enough” or “I am unlovable”)
Emotional overwhelm or shutdown in relationships
People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
Depression linked to past experiences or unresolved emotions
It can also help if you feel like therapy has helped you understand your patterns, but you still get triggered or feel stuck in the same cycles.
What is EMDR ? And how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you process distressing experiences by working directly with the brain and body.
In EMDR therapy, we focus on:
Specific memories
Emotional triggers
Body sensations
Core beliefs about yourself and others
Using bilateral stimulation such as eye movements, tapping, or tones, I help you reprocess these experiences so your nervous system no longer reacts as if the past is happening now.
Over time, emotional intensity decreases, triggers soften, and more balanced, supportive beliefs about yourself can emerge.
