EMDR THERAPY

What is EMDR?

EMDR is a psychotherapy approach developed to help people heal from distressing memories, traumatic experiences, and core beliefs that feel hard to shake. Instead of relying solely on talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to activate both hemispheres of the brain and facilitate natural emotional processing.

Clients often describe EMDR as powerful, surprising, and deeply clarifying — especially when paired with body-based awareness and nervous system regulation.

what can emdr help with?

Explore what’s been stuck — and begin to move through it

EMDR can support you with:
  • Early attachment wounds and relational trauma
  • Complex PTSD and the long-term effects of childhood experiences
  • Emotional overwhelm, fear-based thought patterns, and chronic anxiety
  • Patterns of high-functioning burnout, perfectionism, or people-pleasing
  • Experiences of betrayal, abandonment, or relationship ruptures
  • Internalized shame, guilt, or persistent self-doubt
  • Emotional shutdown, numbness, or disconnection from the body
  • Reactions that feel “out of proportion” but make sense in your nervous system

What to Expect in EMDR Therapy

If talk-based approaches haven’t felt like the right fit, or if you sense there’s something your body is still holding onto, EMDR offers a different way of working. It focuses less on verbal processing and more on supporting the nervous system as it connects memory, emotion, and present-day patterns. This approach may align with individuals who notice a disconnect between how they feel and what they logically know.

Sessions are available:
  • In-person in Whitby
  • Online throughout Ontario via secure video
  • 60-minute sessions: $150
  • 2-hour extended sessions (ideal for processing work): $285

Please note: I offer free 15-minute consultations to help us explore whether EMDR is a good fit for you.


Some things weigh more than we realize. EMDR offers a different way of exploring the past and how it shows up in the present.

EMDR Therapy in Whitby & Online Across Ontario

Ready to Begin?

Before we begin processing memories, we’ll work on resourcing your nervous system — helping you access internal safety, regulation, and grounding. This is especially important for those with complex trauma or who feel overwhelmed easily.

EMDR sessions typically include:
  • Identifying key memories or themes
  • Exploring current triggers or patterns
  • Installing positive beliefs and body-based safety
  • Using bilateral stimulation to process stuck material

You’ll never be rushed, and you’re always in control of the pace.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process painful experiences without needing to relive them in detail. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, PTSD, C-PTSD, trauma responses, or chronic emotional overwhelm, EMDR helps your brain and body reprocess what’s stuck — so you can move forward with greater ease.

I offer EMDR therapy in Whitby and online across Ontario, using a trauma-informed, somatic approach that meets you where you are.
