EMDR Therapy Virtual/Online for California and Illinois
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a powerful tool for healing from trauma. If you live in California or Illinois and are struggling with the emotional and physical impact of trauma, online EMDR therapy offers a safe, effective way to address your healing needs — no matter where you are. With a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, I provide virtual EMDR therapy that can help you process and reduce the distress caused by traumatic memories and emotional wounds.

What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy helps individuals heal from trauma by reprocessing distressing memories. The process involves using bilateral stimulation (often through guided eye movements) to help your brain process and reframe traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge. EMDR is effective for treating trauma from a variety of sources, including abuse, accidents, and sudden loss.
How Does Online EMDR Therapy Work?
Online EMDR therapy follows the same effective process as in-person EMDR, with the added convenience and comfort of conducting sessions from your home. During virtual sessions, I guide you through the steps of EMDR therapy, ensuring that you feel safe and supported as we work together. Online therapy sessions use secure video platforms to provide a confidential and safe environment for your healing journey.
