EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people reprocess difficult memories to reduce distress and improve emotional well-being.

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer EMDR therapy online for clients anywhere in Ontario using secure and effective virtual protocols adapted for remote sessions.

Accepted Answer

EMDR can support people dealing with trauma, anxiety, work-related stress, performance blocks, childhood wounds, or lingering patterns that feel hard to shift.

Question 4

What happens in an EMDR session?

Accepted Answer

We begin by identifying key experiences or beliefs you'd like to work on. The process involves bilateral stimulation — often through guided eye movements — to help your brain reprocess and release what's stuck.

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. EMDR doesn't always require you to talk through every detail. Many clients appreciate that the process allows them to heal without retelling everything.
