My ideal client? She’s that strong, resilient woman who’s always been there for everyone else but now feels lost—caught in cycles of people-pleasing, unsteady boundaries, and relationships that leave her questioning her worth. She craves clarity, peace, and the freedom to break old patterns. She’s ambitious, whether stepping into motherhood, entrepreneurship, or just tired of surviving on autopilot. She knows something has to change. She’s ready to find her voice, heal old wounds, and live a life that feels truly fulfilling from the inside out. If that woman is you. I have good news. I’m here to help you do just that.
Hi, my name is Merlyn! I'm an LCSW with a passion for helping women break free from old patterns using EMDR, a trauma-focused therapy, with an attachment lens. In working together, you’ll uncover the root of your struggles, gain insight into your behaviors, and develop tools to create lasting change.
I know how exhausting it feels to be stuck, no matter how hard you try. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and transform those deep wounds into lasting strength. You deserve clarity, confidence, and peace. If you’re ready to break free from old patterns and step into a life that truly feels right, reach out—your transformation starts here.
