Telehealth & Virtual EMDR Therapy | PA, NJ, FL & SC

Who I Work With Through Telehealth

I offer telehealth therapy for adults who want meaningful, high-quality support — and need the flexibility to access it on their own terms. Many of my virtual clients are balancing demanding jobs, family responsibilities, or unpredictable schedules that make consistent in-person appointments difficult. Some live close to my Newtown, PA office but simply prefer the ease of logging in from home. Others are in New Jersey, Florida, or South Carolina and are looking for a therapist they can connect with from a distance.

Some clients come to me specifically asking about virtual EMDR — wanting to know whether this kind of deeper trauma work is truly possible online. I’m glad to say that it is. Virtual EMDR is not a compromise. It’s a thoughtfully adapted format that I’ve found to be just as effective as working in person — and for some clients, even more comfortable.

What everyone I work with virtually has in common is this: they’re not just looking for convenience. They’re looking for real, lasting change. They want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of their thoughts and emotions. They want support that actually fits their life — and moves something inside them.

Telehealth Therapy: How I Work Online

As a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), I’ve completed specialized training in delivering effective, ethical therapy through virtual formats. This credential reflects something I take seriously: online therapy isn’t just about moving sessions to a screen. It requires intentional adaptation of clinical practice to the virtual environment — and I’m committed to doing that with care.

All of my telehealth sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform. The depth of the work, the pacing, and the therapeutic relationship I build with each client feel the same online as they do in person. Many of my clients tell me they actually feel more at ease in their own space — which often allows them to go deeper, faster.

Through telehealth, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, divorce, and more. If you’re in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, or South Carolina, I’d love to connect.

Virtual EMDR Therapy: Trauma Processing From Wherever You Are

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — is one of the most well-researched, evidence-based approaches to trauma treatment available. And yes, I offer it virtually.

In a telehealth setting, I adapt EMDR thoughtfully and carefully to ensure it remains safe, supported, and therapeutically effective. Many of my clients find that the comfort and familiarity of their own environment actually enhances the grounding and presence that EMDR work asks for. The virtual format doesn’t diminish the quality of the work — for many people, it makes it more accessible and less intimidating to begin.

How I Approach Virtual EMDR

I’m trained in EMDR and am currently completing my certification through Evergreen, deepening my work in EMDR-informed and attachment-focused approaches to trauma. My approach is shaped by attachment-oriented principles — including the work of clinicians like Dr. Laura Parnell — with a strong emphasis on safety, pacing, emotional regulation, and the therapeutic relationship. I don’t use EMDR in a rigid, protocol-only way. I weave it into our sessions when it feels appropriate, aligned with your goals, and matched to your readiness. It is always one tool among many — never required, never used in isolation.

The Preparation Phase: Where We Always Start

Before any trauma processing begins, I build a strong foundation with every client. This preparation phase isn’t optional — it’s essential, and it’s a core part of how I practice ethical, effective EMDR-informed therapy.

During this stage, we focus on grounding techniques, emotional regulation skills, and “resourcing” — which means strengthening positive internal states and building tools you can use when things feel overwhelming. My goal is for you to feel genuinely safe, supported, and in control throughout the entire process. EMDR processing only begins when I’m confident you have enough internal stability and readiness — and we always move at a pace that feels right for you.

What Virtual EMDR Can Help With

I use EMDR as part of my work with clients processing:

• The lasting effects of traumatic experiences — including single-incident trauma and complex, relational trauma
• Memories or past experiences that feel “stuck” and haven’t shifted through talk therapy alone
• A nervous system that stays on high alert, even when things are safe
• Emotional reactions that feel disproportionate to what’s happening in the present
• Grief, loss, or life disruptions that haven’t fully processed
• Anxiety that is rooted in past experiences rather than present circumstances

An Integrative Approach: EMDR Is One Part of the Work

I want to be clear: I don’t practice EMDR in isolation, and I don’t believe any single method is right for every person or every moment. My telehealth sessions are integrative by design. Depending on what’s most helpful for you, our work together might include talk therapy, coping skills, insight-oriented exploration, psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approaches, and EMDR — woven together in whatever combination feels most supportive and aligned with your goals.

The focus is never on using a particular method for its own sake. It’s on creating therapeutic work that helps you heal in a way that feels safe, collaborative, and genuinely tailored to you.

What to Expect in Your First Virtual Session

In our first session, I’ll mostly want to get to know you — to understand what’s been feeling most difficult and what you’re hoping to feel differently. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you to therapy, any questions you have about how I work, and whether this feels like the right fit. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we start.

If EMDR is something you’re curious about, we can briefly discuss whether it might be helpful and what the process would look like. There’s no pressure to commit to any particular approach in a first session — we simply begin with a conversation and build from there.

Over time, progress tends to show up in meaningful ways: reduced symptoms, greater emotional awareness, improved regulation, and a steadier, more grounded sense of yourself in daily life.

Where I Offer Telehealth

I offer telehealth therapy and virtual EMDR to adults in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina. I also see clients in person at my office in Newtown, PA — and many of my clients move fluidly between both formats depending on what fits their week.
