You don’t have to carry the weight of your trauma alone. Whether you’re navigating the lasting impact of childhood wounds, identity-based harm, or the deep pain of relationship trauma, healing is possible, and you deserve a therapist who understands your lived experience.

At our Philadelphia-based practice, we specialize in Online EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps you process and release painful memories stored in your nervous system, so you can finally move forward. EMDR gets to the root of your pain instead of just talking around it. While many people may have heard about the desensitization and reprocessing phases of EMDR, EMDR is actually a 8 phase protocol. In phases 1 and 2 I learn about what you have gone through and help teach you resources and skills so that your body can feel safe again.

I provide trauma-informed EMDR therapy online tailored specifically for:

-Women and LGBTQIA+ folks who have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual trauma

-Those impacted by discrimination, marginalization, or identity-based violence

-People healing from childhood trauma, or recent current single-event trauma

-Individuals living with anxiety, depression, or persistent negative beliefs rooted in past painful events

As a therapist in Philly, I understand the complexities of navigating identity, safety, and healing in this city. This is a space where you won’t have to explain or defend who you are, I get it, and I’m here with compassion and respect.

Have you experienced a painful event and can’t stop thinking about it? Trauma impacts all parts of our life including our mood, sleep, beliefs about ourselves and the world, and can even limit where you go and who you spend time around. After a scary event you might avoid reminders of the scary event including people, places or situations like it. You might find that you are more irritable, on-edge and can’t stop thinking about what you went through. Philadelphia is lucky to be full of caring medical professionals and first responders who regularly put themselves in fast paced, and scary situations for the benefit of others. This hard work doesn’t go un-noticed and you deserve care and support for your mental health too.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps your brain reprocess trauma on a deeper level, without having to rehash every painful detail. Many clients experience real shifts in how they think, feel, and respond, sometimes after just a few sessions.

EMDR can help you:

-Feel less triggered and more grounded

-Replace shame and fear with confidence and self-trust

-Break free from patterns that no longer serve you

-Reclaim your sense of wholeness

Doing EMDR therapy online allows you to get the benefit of therapy from the comfort of home whether you are by the Art Museum or in South Philly.
