ONLINE EMDR THERAPY FOR ANXIETY IN OREGON

Anxiety Therapy Just for You

The impact of anxiety can be insidious whether it’s an old friend or a new nightmare. You shouldn’t have to navigate it alone. I offer EMDR therapy for teenagers and young adults looking for a sense of peace and calm and a good night’s sleep.

Life with anxiety is challenging

but you don’t have to face it alone.

Anxiety’s got this way of making you feel like you’re entirely alone and no one’s ever felt this way before. It’s defeating- you’re steeped in the isolation of a fight-or-flight response, plagued by the “what ifs” and panic that leaves you feeling helpless. 

You might be feeling like you can’t share your anxious thoughts with your loved ones or that these feelings are weird or make you dramatic or otherwise untrustworthy. But that’s not the case at all. You feel alone but you are not: anxiety is just really good at deceit.

EMDR therapy for anxiety

might be exactly what you need right now

So how do we actually start to calm the chaos?

I use EMDR therapy to help teens and young adults process the experiences, memories, and beliefs that fuel anxiety. Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, or just a constant feeling of dread, EMDR helps your brain rewire how it responds to stress.

Instead of talking in circles, we get to the root of the anxiety — the places where your brain got stuck in “danger mode” — and help it find a new way forward. EMDR doesn’t require you to explain everything in detail or relive every painful moment. You just need a willingness to show up, and I’ll guide you from there.

We can work together in standard weekly sessions, extended formats, or even EMDR intensives if you’re looking for faster relief.

Why choose online EMDR therapy for anxiety

Finding the right kind of support can be half the battle when anxiety is running the show. Virtual EMDR therapy offers flexibility, comfort, and meaningful progress — without the added stress of getting to an office.

  • Therapy is portable— it goes with you anywhere you want to be

  • Built-in space to decompress from your therapy session in the space you prefer

  • Ideal for those with severe anxiety, panic attacks, or an aversion to social situations

  • We can still use cues like body language and expression, but you may feel less vulnerable

  • Less barriers to access like hidden costs, transportation and missed shifts

Should I still be feeling this much anxiety as an adult?

You’re an adult now so you can handle all this on your own. 

Let’s go ahead and add that to the pile of utter nonsense you’ll never hear from me now, okay? 

Being a young adult woman today comes with a million invisible pressures. You’re expected to figure everything out — career, relationships, identity, purpose — all while pretending you're totally fine. Add anxiety to the mix, and suddenly even the smallest decisions feel overwhelming.

You’re still growing, shifting, becoming — and it makes total sense that you're feeling stretched thin trying to be all the versions of yourself at once. The one you were. The one you're becoming. The one the world wants you to be.

Here’s the truth: you don’t have to “have it all together.” Anxiety is a natural response to a culture that asks too much and offers too little support. Whether you're navigating work stress, transitions, people-pleasing, or feeling like you're not measuring up — it’s a lot. And it doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you're human.

Here’s the truth: anxiety in your 20s and 30s is real, and you don’t have to “just deal with it.” Whether it’s panic attacks, racing thoughts, people-pleasing, or just that constant sense of pressure — EMDR therapy can help you get to the root of it.

We won’t just talk in circles. We’ll work together using EMDR to target the beliefs, memories, and stressors that keep your nervous system on high alert. From career stress and identity shifts to big transitions and messy relationships, we can calm the overwhelm and create new patterns that actually stick.

You’re not “too much,” and you’re definitely not alone. With the right support, you can feel grounded again — and I’m here to help you get there.

Ask Me

Anything

You’ve got questions and I want to make sure you’ve got the space to ask them! Here are just a few of the questions I get the most.

  • No single age group is the most at risk of developing anxiety. It can profoundly impact your life at any age. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is at increased risk of anxiety since the world has shifted so much. 

    If you are an overachiever, feel the pressure to do well, or struggle to cope with uncertainty, anxiety may impact you more profoundly than it does others.

  • Anxiety disorders are a class of mental health disorders that are identified most often by a feeling of restlessness, racing thoughts and intense fear or phobia of uncertainty or failure. Some of the anxiety disorders you may know by name are: 

    • Panic Attacks or Panic Disorder 

    • Social Anxiety Disorder

    • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder 

    • Situational anxiety or phobias 

    • Generalized Anxiety Disorder

    EMDR therapy can help by targeting the thoughts, experiences, and patterns that fuel these symptoms — offering real relief without needing to talk through every detail.

  • There’s no single metric that will tell you if your anxiety is “worth” treating but I can ask you a single question to help you decide: do you want help? 

    Because I want to help you find your next steps and feel a little better about the way your world is moving around you, but only if that feels good to you.

  • You definitely don’t! While medication can help, it isn’t required to feel more in control of your anxious moments, moods, and triggers. 

    EMDR therapy offers a non-medication approach to healing anxiety by helping your brain reprocess the root of the issue — so you're not stuck managing symptoms forever.
