When talking isn’t enough.
Online EFT Tapping for anxious adults across CO & CA.
Do you get stuck in thought spirals you can’t seem to think your way out of?
You feel something in your body that people call “anxiety,” but it almost feels like a foreign presence that takes over your focus and makes it hard to stay present. You’ve probably thought a lot about your anxiety. But the thinking often leads you in circles rather than anywhere helpful. What makes it even more frustrating is that the anxiety isn’t just in your thoughts. You feel it in your body, the tension, the tightness, the restlessness, and you’re not quite sure what to do with it.
Your mind has helped you solve a lot of problems in life.
But this isn’t one of them.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping is a body-based approach that helps calm your nervous system so you can process emotions that feel overwhelming or hard to access.

When using EFT, we focus on a specific emotion, memory, or belief while calming the nervous system at the same time.
We gently tap on certain points on the face and upper body using our fingers. As we tap, you bring attention to what feels charged. Maybe a memory, a body sensation, or a familiar anxious thought.
The tapping sends calming signals to your nervous system. Instead of your body staying locked in fight-or-flight, it begins to regulate. And when your nervous system feels safer, the emotional intensity around that memory or belief can begin to shift.
You don’t have to force it. You don’t have to “think your way out of it.”
Over time, the brain updates its response. A memory that once triggered anxiety may start to feel neutral. A belief that once felt absolute may soften. The emotional charge decreases in a real, embodied way.
I sometimes use tapping alongside Internal Family Systems work. Tapping can help parts of you feel safer and less overwhelmed. Sometimes it helps us move through particularly charged memories. Sometimes it simply helps the nervous system settle enough for deeper work to happen.
It’s a practical tool — but in the right moment, it can create powerful shifts.

Is EFT tapping the right fit for you?
EFT Tapping can help you connect with your emotions in a way that actually shifts things.
EFT tapping may be a good fit if your anxiety feels physical, like your mind won’t slow down or your body can’t settle, even when you understand what’s happening. By combining focused attention with gentle tapping, this work helps your nervous system settle while creating space for deeper emotional processing. It’s not about pushing feelings away, but shifting how they’re held in your body.

Frequently asked questions

That’s completely fair. Many people feel skeptical at first, including me when I was first introduced to it.
Tapping can look unusual on the surface. But when you understand what it’s doing in the nervous system, it starts to make sense. You don’t have to fully “believe” in it. You just have to be open to noticing what happens in your body when we try it.

EFT is part of a growing field referred to as Energy Psychology. While it is not yet considered a gold-standard treatment like CBT or EMDR, there is a growing body of research supporting its effectiveness for anxiety, trauma, and stress-related symptoms.
More importantly, I use it thoughtfully and strategically within the context of our broader work. If you’re interested in the research, I’m always happy to share more.

Then we’ll talk about it.
You are always in control of what we do in session. If tapping doesn’t feel helpful or doesn’t resonate, we adjust. Therapy is collaborative.
And sometimes, discomfort is simply newness. We can explore that together.

No. Tapping is one tool I use. Some sessions may involve it. Others may focus more on parts work or relational processing. We use it intentionally, not automatically.
