EMDR Therapy
In-person & online · New Jersey
Some memories don't stay in the past. They show up in your body, your sleep, your reactions, as if the thing that happened is still happening. EMDR is a structured, research-backed therapy designed to change that.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain do what it does naturally: process and file away difficult experiences so they stop feeling so present. I'm EMDR-trained and use it with adults across New Jersey, in person in Bloomfield and online.
Single-incident trauma
Accidents, assault, medical trauma, loss, events that left a mark.
Complex & developmental trauma
The accumulated weight of things that happened over years, often in childhood.
Grief & loss
When mourning gets stuck or tangled with guilt, EMDR can gently help it move.
Anxiety & panic
Reprocessing the experiences feeding today's fight-or-flight responses.
How EMDR works in practice
Stabilize first
We never dive into the deep end. We build coping resources and safety before any reprocessing begins.
Reprocess gently
Using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements), we revisit memories in a contained, manageable way.
Integrate
The memory stays, but its grip loosens. You can recall it without being hijacked by it.

Questions about emdr therapy
Still wondering about something? The free consult is the perfect place to ask.
Is EMDR evidence-based?
Yes. EMDR is recognized by the World Health Organization and the American Psychological Association as an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma, supported by decades of research.
Will I have to talk through every detail of what happened?
No. One of the things people appreciate about EMDR is that you don't have to narrate every detail out loud for it to work. We focus on how the memory is stored, not on reliving it.
How long does EMDR take?
It varies. Some single-incident traumas resolve in a handful of sessions; complex trauma takes longer. We'll go at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system.
