EMDR Therapy in Michigan (Online)

Mayo Clinic–Trained EMDR Therapist in Michigan

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an evidence-based approach designed to help the brain process and integrate distressing or traumatic experiences. As an EMDR therapist in Michigan, I provide specialized, trauma-informed care for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and the psychological impact of chronic illness.

My work is informed by over 15 years of experience in trauma treatment and advanced clinical training through the Mayo Clinic, where I worked with individuals managing complex medical and neurological conditions. This including traumatic brain injuries and chronic illness. This background supports a nuanced, integrated approach to EMDR that considers both psychological and physiological processes.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy is a structured, research-supported treatment that helps the nervous system reprocess experiences that have become “stuck” or unintegrated. Rather than focusing solely on talk therapy, EMDR works directly with the brain’s natural processing systems to reduce emotional intensity and support adaptive resolution.

EMDR is widely used in trauma treatment and is also effective for anxiety, chronic stress, depression and experiences that that continue to impact daily functioning. It uses bi-lateral stimulation to address how traumatic memories are stored in your brain and promote symptom reduction.

What EMDR Can Help With

EMDR therapy may be beneficial for individuals experiencing:

• Trauma, PTSD and complex trauma.

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression

• Chronic illness and medical trauma

• Domestic violence and sexual assault recovery

• Persistent stress and nervous system dysregulation

My approach is particularly attuned to the intersection of trauma and chronic illness, recognizing how psychological and physiological experiences are often deeply interconnected.

A Specialized Approach to EMDR

EMDR therapy is not a one-size-fits-all intervention. My approach integrates EMDR with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and somatic practices. This allows for a treatment process that supports both emotional processing and nervous system regulation.

With a clinical background in domestic violence,  sexual assault and medically complex populations,  I bring a high level of attunement to the treatment of traumatic experiences. 

Treatment is structured and collaborative, particularly for individuals who may feel overwhelmed by traditional therapy approaches.

EMDR and Chronic Illness

For individuals living with chronic illness, EMDR can support the psychological impact of long-term health conditions. My clinical training through the Mayo Clinic informs an understanding of how illness, stress, and trauma interact within the nervous system.

This allows for a more integrated approach to care. One that acknowledges both the physical and emotional dimensions of your experience without requiring you to separate or justify them.

What to Expect

EMDR therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment and the development of a treatment plan that works for you.  Sessions focus on building stability and resources before moving into trauma processing.  I will take an accurate trauma history and address root causes of symptoms before we begin the process.

Clients are not expected to have a clear narrative of their experiences. Therapy is guided, with attention to pacing, safety, and the  your individual history.
