You may be the woman surviving in “go mode” — appearing capable and high functioning on the outside while internally carrying anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, unresolved trauma, or a constant sense of overwhelm. Even while managing daily responsibilities, you are stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or disconnection from yourself and others, despite deeply wanting things to feel different. EMDR therapy helps reprocess painful and overwhelming experiences, so you no longer feel emotionally stuck in the past, creating space to move forward.

"It's not forgetting that heals. It's remembering." - Amy Greene. My area of focus is working with women and men who want to heal their mind and bodies from negative or traumatic experiences. Forgetting is not always an option because our bodies do remember. Common symptoms and complaints that can be related to traumatic events may be anxiety or depression, irritability and anger, frequent headaches, stomach-aches and fatigue. It can be difficult and overwhelming to reach out for support, but "forgetting" may no longer feel like an option for you.

I love working with and specialize in helping clients who struggle with perfectionism, people pleasing, and codependency. I find that these ways of being in relationship can often be traced back to early childhood traumatic experiences of neglect, abuse and/or abandonment. Clients who cope in these ways typically believe that they are not enough in some aspect of their personhood and often compensate for their lack by being overly responsible and overly doing in many aspects of their relationships. Left unresolved, these ways of coping can lead clients to experience burn-out, anxiety and depression.
