You're the one who holds everything together — at work, at home, in every relationship you're in. You've gotten so good at it that nobody questions it anymore, including you. But underneath all that holding together, you're anxious, frustrated, and running on fumes. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it didn't stick. Maybe perimenopause has made everything that used to keep you functional suddenly stop working. Here's what I want you to know: the pattern that got you here actually makes complete sense. Change is possible, not through willpower or another self help book, but by understanding where it came from.
I specialize in working with chronic over-givers navigating anxiety, trauma, and perimenopause. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in management consulting and personally understand the pressure and pace of Northern Virginia life. Using EMDR we get to the root of the problem for real and lasting relief, always approaching the work at your pace.
If you're done with the frustration of trying to figure this out alone, I'd love to connect. I offer weekly, bi-weekly, and EMDR intensive sessions in Fairfax, VA. My practice is affirming and allied to the LGBTQIA+ community, sex positive, and welcoming of poly, ENM, and kink-aligned clients.

My primary approach is relational EMDR — an enhanced form of EMDR that puts the therapeutic relationship at the center of the work. Most people carry wounds that formed in relationship with others. It makes sense that healing happens the same way. EMDR is body-based work — we process what's been stuck at your pace, through your nervous system, so the changes actually hold.
