Trauma care · Online in Washington & Oregon
EMDR therapy
You can understand what happened and still feel it in your body. We can work with both—without asking you to tell every detail of your story.
You’re not doing it wrong
When the past feels present
Maybe you know you’re safe, but your body won’t settle. A memory, a relationship, or an ordinary moment can bring up fear, shame, or the urge to shut down. That isn’t a failure of willpower.
EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing—is an evidence-based psychotherapy used to treat PTSD. It can help reduce the distress attached to traumatic experiences. The goal isn’t to erase your history; it’s to help it feel more like something that happened then, rather than something happening now.
My practice focuses on childhood trauma, sexual abuse, complex PTSD, dissociation, and anxiety. We’ll consider your whole experience, not just a diagnosis.
What working together looks like
Your pace. Your voice. Your choice.
- 01
First, we get to know you
We talk about what brings you here, what feels difficult, and what you want to be different. You choose what you’re ready to share.
- 02
We build a foundation
Before memory processing, we work on grounding and ways to manage distress. Readiness matters—especially with complex trauma or dissociation.
- 03
We process, when you’re ready
EMDR combines attention to a memory with guided bilateral stimulation, such as alternating eye movements or taps. We check in, adjust, and pause when needed.
- 04
We make room for life now
We notice changes together and continue building practical ways to feel more connected, grounded, and able to make choices in daily life.
Care that meets you where you are
Sessions take place online across Washington and Oregon, for children, teens, and adults ages 7 and older. With younger clients, the work is adapted to their developmental needs.
The first session is $350; ongoing sessions are $300 per hour. Online care is available across Washington & Oregon State for ages 7 and older. We’ll talk through fit and any questions before you decide to begin.
If a longer block of focused work appeals to you, we can discuss whether EMDR intensives may be a fit.
A little clarity
Questions you might have
Do I have to describe everything that happened?
No. EMDR doesn’t require a detailed retelling of every traumatic experience. We still need enough context to plan care safely, and you can tell me when something feels like too much.
Can EMDR happen online?
Yes, EMDR can be offered through telehealth. We’ll discuss privacy, your setup, and ways to stay grounded during sessions, and decide together whether online care fits your needs.
How long will it take?
There isn’t a single timeline. Your history, current circumstances, readiness, and goals all matter. We’ll review progress together; I won’t promise a fixed number of sessions or a particular result.
You deserve more than just getting through the day.
A free consultation is a chance to meet, ask questions, and see whether working together feels right.
