If your mind never seems to slow down—constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or worrying about what’s next—you’re not alone. Maybe you’re the one others rely on. You show up, keep things together, and try to avoid conflict, even when it means putting your own needs last. Over time, it gets exhausting. You might feel anxious, on edge, or overwhelmed, even if it looks like you’re handling everything on the outside.

EMDR Therapy can help you feel more like yourself again. I’m a certified EMDR therapist, and I help clients work through anxiety, people-pleasing, and past experiences that still feel stuck in the present. Together, we’ll process what you’ve been carrying so it stops taking up so much space in your mind and body.

I also incorporate mindfulness and parts work to help you better understand yourself with more clarity and less self-criticism. This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you feel more grounded, confident, and able to express your needs. You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation through my website. You don’t have to keep doing this on your own.

I work with clients experiencing various mental health issues, but I specialize in complex trauma, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. The clients that I typically see have tried different forms of talk therapy, but they haven't found the type of healing and relief that they're looking for. EMDR goes deeper and is designed to work on the root of the issue.
