EMDR Therapy in NY & NJ
Heal the past, calm your anxiety, and rebuild your life — one layer at a time.
If you're an anxious, childfree woman who's been carrying the weight of old trauma, perfectionism, chronic overwhelm, or a sudden life event that flipped your world upside-down, EMDR therapy can help you finally feel unstuck.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based trauma therapy that helps your brain and body process what you’ve been holding onto — the memories, sensations, beliefs, and emotional “loops” that still shape your stress, anxiety, and self-worth today.
I offer online EMDR therapy for women across New York and New Jersey, specializing in supporting women who are rebuilding after unexpected change, loss, or emotional collapse.
Who EMDR Therapy Is For
EMDR is an excellent fit if you're experiencing:
Anxiety that won’t shut off, even when life is “fine”
Past trauma still affecting your current relationships, choices, or confidence
Burnout after years of holding everything together
A sudden breakup, loss, or life event that changed everything
Childhood wounds you’ve intellectually processed but still feel
Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or chronic self-blame
Emotional triggers that appear “out of nowhere”
Feeling stuck in the same patterns, no matter how hard you try to change
Many of the women I work with are high-performing, deeply self-aware, and used to doing everything alone — until something happens that cracks their internal foundation.
EMDR helps rebuild that foundation.
What EMDR Therapy Helps You Heal
EMDR therapy is especially effective for:
Trauma (big “T” and small “t”)
Anxiety disorders
Panic, hypervigilance, and nervous system overwhelm
Relationship trauma or attachment wounds
Childhood emotional neglect
Medical trauma
Burnout and chronic stress
Grief and sudden life changes
Self-worth wounds
Body-based trauma responses
In EMDR, you don’t need to relive trauma in detail and you don’t need to have the “perfect memory” of what happened.
EMDR meets your nervous system where it is — and helps it release what it has been holding.
How EMDR Works
Your brain has a natural healing process.
Trauma disrupts it.
EMDR restarts it.
Through bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements, tapping, or sound), we help your brain reprocess the stuck memories and beliefs that keep you anxious, triggered, or emotionally overwhelmed.
EMDR helps your brain shift from:
❌ “I’m not safe.”
❌ “I’m not enough.”
❌ “It was my fault.”
❌ “I can’t trust myself.”
to:
✅ “I’m safe now.”
✅ “I am capable.”
✅ “What happened wasn’t my fault.”
✅ “I can rebuild.”
This isn’t talk therapy alone — it’s deeper.
What EMDR Therapy Looks Like in Our Work Together
1. We build safety and stabilize your nervous system.
If you're anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out, your system is already working overtime.
We slow things down, get grounded, and help you feel internally steady.
2. We identify the experiences still affecting you today.
These might be obvious — or incredibly subtle.
We’ll explore the moments where your beliefs were shaped, your confidence cracked, or your sense of worth shifted.
3. We reprocess the memories, sensations, and beliefs.
This is where EMDR does its magic.
You stay fully present and in control while your brain rewires the emotional charge around these moments.
4. We install new patterns that support healing and growth.
After the emotional weight lifts, we help integrate confidence, safety, ease, and new ways of relating to yourself.
5. We rebuild your foundation.
This is where you grow into your “after” — the version of life that fits who you are now.
Why EMDR Works Especially Well for Anxious, Childfree Women
Childfree women often face unique emotional challenges:
High expectations from themselves and others
Feeling like an “other” in a family-centric world
Internalized pressure to overachieve
Hidden grief, transitions, or identity shifts
Burnout from being the dependable one
Trauma that’s been minimized or dismissed
A life that doesn’t follow the traditional script
EMDR helps:
quiet the anxiety loop
heal the perfectionist parts
release internalized guilt or shame
process past wounds without rehashing them
build confidence and clarity
create a life that actually fits you (not the one others expect)
EMDR is perfect for women who are tired of overthinking, exhausted from managing everything, and ready for deeper healing.
Online EMDR Therapy in New York & New Jersey
I offer EMDR therapy virtually, making it:
accessible
private
flexible
effective
comfortable in your own environment
Online EMDR is evidence-supported, widely used, and just as powerful as in-person sessions — often more powerful because you feel safer in your own space.
What You Can Expect to Feel After EMDR Therapy
My clients often describe EMDR as:
“The first time I’ve ever felt calm.”
“Like I finally stopped blaming myself.”
“I can breathe again.”
“The anxiety is still there, but it no longer owns me.”
“My body doesn’t freak out like it used to.”
“I feel like myself for the first time in years.”
EMDR won’t erase your history.
But it will release the emotional charge so the past stops running your present.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Do I need to know anything else before starting EMDR?
Nope! No advance preparation is needed- we will go through all of the phases together.
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail for EMDR to work?
No. EMDR does not require you to retell or relive painful experiences. You don’t need perfect memories, and you stay in full control throughout the process. EMDR works by helping your brain reprocess what’s stuck — so the emotional intensity fades, and you can finally feel calmer, lighter, and more grounded.
Does EMDR work online?
Yes — online EMDR is evidence-supported and just as effective as in-person sessions. Many women actually feel safer and more open when they can do trauma work from home. I use secure, structured tools to guide bilateral stimulation, making virtual EMDR a powerful option for women across New York and New Jersey who want consistent, flexible therapy without travel.
What if we try EMDR and I don’t like it?
That is TOTALLY OKAY. Some of my clients love EMDR and some don’t. It is quite different from traditional therapy, as it follows a specific script and structure. A lot of people like how quickly they feel symptom improvement. We will check in throughout the process and you can always stop at any time.
What are your fees and do you take insurance?
My current rates are listed on the Fees page. Therapy is an investment in rebuilding your foundation, reducing anxiety, healing trauma, and creating a life that finally fits. I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept insurance directly. However, many clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance’s out-of-network benefits.
I can provide monthly superbills to submit for reimbursement. I can also help you understand your benefits if needed.
