Eye Movement Sensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

If you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional reactivity, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.

Often, these patterns are connected to past experiences that your nervous system hasn’t fully processed.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps your brain process those experiences so they no longer feel as intense or overwhelming.

I offer EMDR therapy for clients in Wisconsin, Iowa, and New York and am in-network with several insurance plans, making trauma-focused care more accessible for those seeking EMDR therapy covered by insurance.

Many of my clients are used to holding everything together, but feel exhausted, on edge, or disconnected underneath.

You may:

  • Feel stuck in anxiety or constant overthinking

  • Experience emotional overwhelm or reactivity

  • Struggle with self-doubt, shame, or relationship patterns

  • Feel disconnected from yourself or others

  • Understand your patterns but still feel stuck

  • Experienced childhood trauma

  • Have PTSD

  • Have complex trauma

EMDR helps bridge the gap between understanding and actually feeling different.

EMDR is a structured therapy that helps your brain “unstick” experiences that are stored in a distressing way. During EMDR, we use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) while you briefly focus on aspects of a memory or feeling.

Over time, many people notice that:

  • Memories feel less intense

  • Triggers decrease

  • They feel more grounded and present

We don’t jump into processing right away. We begin by building a sense of safety, developing grounding tools, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for you. EMDR is always collaborative—you remain in control, and we adjust based on what feels supportive.

Why I Use EMDR

I choose EMDR because I've seen how powerful it can be when insight alone isn't enough. Many people understand why they feel anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed—but still feel stuck in those same patterns. EMDR helps bridge the gap between understanding and lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, gentle, and paced according to your nervous system. We spend time building safety and coping skills before processing difficult memories, so you always remain in control of the work we do together.

Virtual EMDR Therapy for Adults in Wisconsin, New York & Iowa

I offer EMDR therapy through secure telehealth sessions for clients located in:

  • Wisconsin

  • New York

  • Iowa

Many clients find online therapy to be just as effective, while allowing them to be in a familiar and comfortable environment. Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything figured out before you begin. If you’re used to holding everything together on your own, this can be a space where you don’t have to. We can move at your pace and begin to make sense of what’s been difficult—together.

You don’t have to hold it all by yourself.

FAQs

  • I currently provide virtual therapy (telehealth) for adults located in Wisconsin, New York, and Iowa. Online sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Research has shown that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including trauma, anxiety, and EMDR therapy.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process distressing memories so they no longer feel as emotionally overwhelming. Rather than talking about the same experience repeatedly, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or tapping—to help your brain reprocess memories in a way that promotes healing.

  • Yes. EMDR is one of the most well-researched treatments for trauma and PTSD and is also effective for many people experiencing anxiety, panic, phobias, grief, and other concerns related to difficult life experiences. Many clients notice they feel less emotionally reactive, more grounded, and better able to move forward after treatment.

  • That's completely understandable. We don't begin processing traumatic memories right away. First, we'll spend time getting to know each other, building coping skills, and making sure you feel safe and prepared. EMDR is always collaborative—you remain in control of the process, and we'll move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

  • The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, history, and the concerns you're bringing to therapy. Some people experience meaningful relief after working through a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term therapy to address complex or longstanding trauma. During our initial sessions, we'll create a treatment plan that's tailored to your needs.
