EMDR, is a particular form of therapy involving bilateral stimulation (BLS), utilizing eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones support the brain’s innate capacity to process and heal.
Some clients experience relief or positive effects in just a few sessions. EMDR can be effective in alleviating trauma-related and other symptoms (such as, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief).
Scientific research has established EMDR as an effective form of treatment for posttraumatic stress, anxiety and mood concerns, historical abuse, disturbing memories, complicated grief, addictions, and many other forms of mental and emotional distress.
Online sessions are held from the safety of your own home at a time that is convenient for you through my easy scheduling platform. I can offer virtual services to anyone who resides in New Brunswick.
I use Zoom for Healthcare which meets the standards outlined in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Some examples include:
In-Office & Virtual Sessions available for folks residing in New Brunswick.
50-55 minutes

Some people find EMDR processing is too rushed in a traditional 1-hour session. If you feel you would benefit from more time during processing, I do offer 90-minute sessions.
Please Note: 24-hours notice is required for appointment cancellations as a time commitment was made to you and was held exclusively for you. This also allows me the time to offer the appointment to another client who is waiting. There will be a half session charge for all late cancels and a full session charge for no shows. Thank you for your understanding.
Please Note: I only direct bill Blue Cross Insurance plans. For any other insurance provider (i.e., Sunlife, Manulife, Green Shield, etc.), you will need to pay the total cost of session upfront and then submit your receipts for reimbursement to your insurance company directly.
A friendly reminder - It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider to see if they cover "clinical counsellors, psychotherapists, or licensed counselling therapists".
