You are capable, driven, and used to holding everything together, but it has come at the cost of living in a body that rarely feels safe. You learned to stay alert in environments where power was unpredictable, criticism was constant, or your reactions were dismissed. Now you replay conversations, second-guess your instincts, and carry tension that never fully turns off. You are not looking for coping tips. You want to understand what happened, why it shaped the way you relate to others and yourself, and how to move through your work and your life without always bracing for impact.
I work with women shaped by emotionally unsafe or high-pressure environments, and by anxiety or OCD patterns. Using EMDR and evidence-based psychotherapy, I help you process what happened, shift unhelpful beliefs and habits, and reduce overcontrol so you can trust your mind, your decisions, and your boundaries again.
Therapy can help you feel steadier, less reactive, and more certain about your perceptions. You don’t have to keep overriding your instincts or wondering whether your experiences were “real enough.” If you want thoughtful, efficient work that helps you recover from what you’ve lived through—and supports real change in how you move through your life—I’m here.

I don't work with insurance companies, due to ethical concerns about privacy and patient care. If you have out-of-network coverage, I submit claims via Thrizer which simplifies reimbursement for my patients. Please speak with me regarding the pros and cons of private pay vs. out-of-network coverage.
