Are you the one everyone relies on, but you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly burning out? You can’t just relax because if you stop holding it all together, everything feels like it might fall apart. What looks like control on the outside is often a need for safety underneath, shaped by old patterns and unresolved trauma. You might notice it in overthinking, sensitivity, or frustration when you’re overwhelmed. You want something easier, with more clarity and energy in your relationships, and less resentment in the background. That’s possible.
If you're a high-functioning adult who feels overwhelmed beneath the surface, I can help. Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work, we don’t just talk about what’s wrong — we actually process what’s stuck. This work helps you move out of overthinking and emotional exhaustion into something more steady, clear, and sustainable.
You’ve been holding a lot together for a long time...and I know it’s exhausting. If you’re ready for something to actually change, not just manage it or "cope" better, this work can help. We’ll focus on what’s underneath the patterns that keep you stuck so you can feel more steady, clear, and in control. You don't have to keep going at it alone.

Maybe you've tried therapy before without much change — or maybe this is your first time. Many of my clients feel frustrated, numb, or out of sync with themselves, even if they're functioning well on the outside. Using EMDR and somatic, parts-based approaches, we don't just talk — we process what's underneath. I come prepared, and I won't just nod my head.
