Attachment-Focused EMDR · 100% Virtual
EMDR for the grief that hasn’t moved.
Licensed in CA, WA & AZ · Insight-Friendly · Nervous-System First
EMDR is not about reliving what hurt you. It is a structured way to help the nervous system finish a piece of work it never got to finish, so a memory or grief stops running underneath everything else. Angela works in the Attachment-Focused EMDR model created by Laurel Parnell.
100% virtual. Every path starts with a free initial conversation.
What an EMDR session looks like
No flooding. No big retelling. We work in small, contained pieces, and you stay in the driver’s seat the entire time.
We get oriented
We start by mapping what you are carrying and what your body has been bracing against. Together we set the targets: the memories, beliefs, or losses that have been running quietly.
We reprocess gently
Using bilateral stimulation and resourcing, your nervous system metabolizes what it could not before. You stay present, regulated, and in choice the whole way.
We integrate
We close every session in a settled state, with language for what shifted. The deeper work continues in your body in the days that follow.
This is for you if
Talk therapy has helped, and you know there is more underneath that words have not reached.
You are carrying mother loss, attachment grief, or memories that still hijack the present.
You want a structured, time-bound way to move what has been stuck without endlessly re-telling the story.

About this work
Trained in the attachment model of EMDR.
Angela is a licensed therapist trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR, the model developed by Laurel Parnell. It is a gentler, more relational evolution of standard EMDR, designed for people whose pain lives in early relationship as much as in single events.
That means we will not be sitting across from each other recounting trauma in detail. We will be in conversation, resourced, and working in small pieces, so your system can finish what it was never able to before.
If you have done a lot of talk therapy and know there is more underneath, this is often what reaches it.
Common questions
What actually happens in an EMDR session?
We work with a specific target — a memory, a belief, or a feeling that keeps coming back. With light bilateral stimulation, your brain metabolizes it the way it would have originally if conditions had allowed. You stay present, talking with me, the entire time.
Will I have to relive my trauma?
No. Attachment-Focused EMDR is specifically designed to avoid flooding. You stay resourced and in choice, and we slow down or stop whenever you need to.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on what you are working on. Some people come in for a focused piece in three to six sessions. Others stay longer for deeper attachment work. We figure it out together after the initial conversation.
Is EMDR right for grief?
Yes. EMDR is especially powerful for the grief that does not have a death attached, for mother loss, and for the losses that keep returning. It helps the body finish what it was carrying.
Do you take insurance?
Angela does not bill insurance directly, but you can request a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
How do we start?
Every path begins the same way: a free initial conversation. From there, choose the package that fits. The first session is intake and pacing, not reprocessing.
