Have you ever felt like you’re constantly starting over each month? You might be a high-achieving woman who feels steady and capable most of the time, only to have a week where coping skills vanish or past traumas feel brand new—leaving you feeling reactive, misunderstood, or lost in your own life. These hormonal shifts often create painful ripples in your closest relationships. I help women and couples who are tired of this exhausting cycle. Whether you're navigating the fog of premenstrual challenges or the echoes of attachment trauma, I provide a compassionate space to move from feeling emotionally hijacked to feeling whole.

I integrate EMDR for individuals and EFT for couples to heal the root of emotional reactivity. For women, EMDR helps desensitize past trauma that your monthly cycle tends to uncover. For couples, I use an attachment-based approach to stop the cycle of painful arguments and build a secure, lasting connection that can weather any internal storm.

You deserve a life that feels consistent all month long. Whether we are working individually to heal attachment wounds or together as a couple to stop the reactive arguments that drain your connection, the goal is lasting peace. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to discuss how we can use EMDR to help you reclaim your narrative and your relationships.
