How It Works
How EMDR helps anxious attachment
EMDR works with the experiences that wired your attachment system, the moments when support wasn't there or wasn't attuned. Then we install the experience of receiving, so feeling loved and chosen starts to feel like home in your body.
Why attachment based EMDR
I'm a Level 2 PACT therapist with thousands of hours of couples work. I know what sabotages love and what creates security, and I bring that into every EMDR session.
Who I work with
Emotionally intelligent, high-functioning people who deeply want a relationship, have done years of therapy, and keep ending up with partners who can't meet them. Most lean anxious.
Online anywhere in California
Sessions happen over secure, encrypted video, anywhere in California. You get the depth of EMDR without the commute.
In person in Lagunitas
When a deeper, concentrated block of work is the right fit, I offer in person EMDR intensives in Lagunitas, CA, in Marin County.
A clear plan, and homework
I'll tell you honestly what I think it will take to shift your pattern, and we'll review it together. Homework between sessions is how change moves into your relationships.
FAQs
Do I have to live in California?
For therapy, including EMDR, you need to be in California during our sessions, because that's where I'm licensed. Outside California, my coaching and free training are open to you.
Does EMDR work online?
Yes. Online EMDR can be as effective as in person, so you can do deep EMDR work from the comfort of your own home.
How many EMDR sessions will I need?
It depends on your history and goals. Some people feel a shift in a single session. Deeper attachment work usually unfolds over a few months, and I'll give you my honest recommendation.
Is EMDR only for trauma?
EMDR began as a trauma treatment, and it also helps with relational wounds. Repeated small moments of not being met can wire anxious attachment just as deeply as one big event.
What days and hours do you work?
Monday to Thursday, 7:30am to 1pm Pacific. I'm selective about who I work with, so please reach out about availability.
What are your fees?
Please check with me for current fees and package options. I don't take insurance. I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement and accept FSA and HSA cards.
