As a certified EMDR therapist, I would love to help you break free from your past in order to live a fuller, more meaningful life in the present. If traumatic memories, depression, or anxiety are keeping you feeling stuck, I can help you find healing. Trauma is stored in the nervous system, and can leave you feeling constantly on edge, or completely checked-out. I incorporate somatic interventions into my work to also help your body work through the trauma that you may not have words for. My office is place where you can safely explore your issues, feeling unconditionally accepted and supported throughout the process.

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.

You may be feeling like you don’t quite fit the pace of others — like there are steps to complete before you reach the starting line everyone else walked into freely. Maybe you carry exhaustion, anxiety, or grief — wondering how to feel more grounded, creative, or understood. If your identity, transitions, or neurodivergence have brought both gifts and challenges, I see you, and I believe you deserve more than coping; you deserve clarity, resilience, and self-connection. You deserve to feel safe and confident in your relationships, including the one with your own self.
