What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach that helps your brain process difficult experiences so they feel less overwhelming over time.

Rather than reliving the pain of your loss, EMDR works gently to help your mind and body integrate the experience—so memories feel less intense and more manageable.

How EMDR Helps With Pet Loss

Grief after losing a pet can be especially complex. Many people experience:

  • Intense sadness that comes in waves

  • Guilt around decisions (especially euthanasia)

  • Replaying final moments

  • Feeling stuck or unable to move forward

EMDR can help you:

  • Process painful memories without becoming overwhelmed

  • Reduce feelings of guilt and “what if” thinking

  • Feel more at peace with your pet’s passing

  • Hold onto the love and connection without the same level of pain

What to Expect in Weekly Sessions

Weekly EMDR sessions provide a consistent, supportive space to work through your grief at your own pace.

In sessions, we will:

  • Gently identify what feels most distressing

  • Use EMDR techniques to process those experiences

  • Focus on both emotional and physical responses to grief

  • Move at a pace that feels safe and manageable

You are always in control of the process.

This May Be Right for You If…

  • You feel overwhelmed by the loss of your pet

  • You’re struggling with guilt or unanswered questions

  • The grief feels stuck or isn’t easing over time

  • You feel alone or misunderstood in your loss

  • You want a structured way to process your emotions

You Don’t Have to Relive Everything

A common concern with EMDR is having to revisit painful memories.

This approach is designed to be gentle and contained—you won’t be forced to go deeper than you’re ready for. You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re unsure whether EMDR is right for you, we can talk through what you’re experiencing and what support might look like.

You Don’t Have to Face Pet Loss Alone

Losing a beloved pet can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply painful. You deserve support that truly understands the depth of that bond.

Experience compassionate, inclusive EMDR therapy designed to help you process grief, cope with guilt, and begin to find a sense of peace—at a pace that feels right for you.

FAQ

  • $200/50 minute individual sessions. Heath Savings Account (HSA)/ Flexible Savings Account (FSA) are accepted to cover the cost of sessions, and a billing statements called a “superbill” can be provided upon request.

    If you have PPO insurance you can check your out-of-network coverage with your insurer directly to determine how much is covered, and a superbill can be provided monthly for you to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.

  • Running a private practice involves many costs beyond session time—License renewal fees, professional insurance, professional membership dues, continuing education, administrative work, and so on, that all add up. This funding model helps me:

    • Offer therapy at a lower cost to those who need it

    • Maintain a sustainable income to provide quality, consistent care

    • Grow my practice responsibly

    I’m committed to transparency and fairness. If you have questions about fees or availability, please don’t hesitate to ask. My goal is to make therapy accessible while ensuring I can continue offering high-quality care for all clients.

  • For Individual Therapy and Intakes: Your intake and follow-up sessions are scheduled just for you and to ensure you have a chance to build a solid therapy connection with your therapist, our session times are kept at regular days and times. This means that our reserved sessions cannot easily be offered to another client. To ensure clarity and fairness, please take a moment to review my cancellation policy:

    • All late-cancellations and No shows are charged at the full session rate, if notice is less than 24 hours from the scheduled session time. If you would like to reschedule a session, then you will need to purchase an additional session.

    • Please complete all rescheduling, and cancelations via the Carepatron portal. Messaging me is appreciated, but will not remove the need for you to modify your appointment via the patient portal to avoid a charge.

    • If you cancel on-time within the 24 hour window, then you will not be charged. Please keep in mind that frequent cancelations, or rescheduling of sessions may lead to discussing a better meeting time to ensure consistency, or a referral if needed.

    Other situations where a partial refund cannot be provided:

    • If you attend under the influence or drugs/alcohol.

    • If you are in another state outside of CA.

    • If you are actively driving, or in a moving vehicle and unable to park within 10 minutes.

    • If you are unable to obtain the privacy needed to conduct session, miss the appointment entirely, or attend 10 minutes past the grace period, then you may not be eligible for a 50% refund.

    Thank you for understanding! This policy helps me keep my schedule fair and ensures that I can provide consistent, high-quality care to all clients.

  • I do not work with insurance, or bill insurance directly. This can be especially meaningful for those navigating grief after the loss of a pet or other deeply significant attachment, where healing often doesn’t follow a linear timeline. I offer private-pay therapy, which allows for greater flexibility and depth in supporting grief, trauma, and emotional processing without the restrictions of insurance-based care. This means we can focus fully on what you’re experiencing—at a pace that feels supportive for you—rather than working within limitations around diagnosis, coverage, or session caps.

  • A limited number of reduced-fee sessions are available.

Helpful questions to see if EMDR may be a good fit

Please answer these questions as best as you can. This form is anonymous and does not collect or store personal information. The purpose of these questions is simply to help explore whether EMDR feels like the right support for you right now. Healing can look different for each person, and sometimes building emotional support and readiness first can be the most helpful next step. If another therapeutic approach may be a better fit at this time, EMDR can always be revisited later. I’m happy to help guide you toward support that feels most aligned with where you are in your process.
