How It Works
What is attachment based EMDR?
EMDR works with the experiences that wired your attachment system, the moments when support wasn't there or came and went. Attachment based EMDR also builds your capacity to receive care, so a secure state starts to feel like home.
Why insight isn't enough
You can understand your pattern beautifully and still walk right back into it. You can't create security while your nervous system is operating from threat. EMDR works where the pattern lives.
The receiving wound
A lot of people with anxious attachment carry a receiving wound. Care is offered and it doesn't land. In our work, you practice feeling loved, supported and chosen until it becomes familiar.
What to look for in an EMDR therapist
Look for advanced attachment training, experience with couples, and an honest treatment plan. I'm a Level 2 PACT therapist, and I teach you how to resource yourself.
Online and in person
Online sessions happen over secure video, plus in person intensives in Lagunitas. Learn about anxious attachment therapy and EMDR in California.
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
What days do you work?
I work Mon to Thurs, 10:30 to 4 Eastern (7:30 to 1 Pacific). I'm extremely selective about who I work with these days, so inquire for availability.
CAN YOU MEET EVERY OTHER WEEK OR ONCE A MONTH?
I work with people either weekly or every other week depending on their goals. Weekly clients get a decreased rate to support this frequency.
ARE YOU OPEN TO WORKING NIGHTS OR WEEKENDS?
I occasionally offer VIP weekend day-long intensives for individuals or couples looking to do more extensive work.
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
Unfortunately I don’t do insurance at this time (although I can sometimes take flex cards that people use like credit cards, and I can offer super bills if your insurance takes out of network therapists).
do you work in person?
At this time I am almost exclusively working over video over on an encrypted platform, but I will do intensives in person in Lagunitas, CA.
do you offer in person retreats?
