Are you feeling stuck or trapped with behaviors or thoughts that no longer serve you? Maybe you have seen a few therapists, talked endlessly about your trauma, learned coping skills, and you know in your mind that it’s over and in the past but your body still feels disconnected, on high alert, or both. I am certified in EMDR Therapy, a trauma-focused therapy that works with our brain’s natural capacity to digest difficult experiences that keep us stuck. Whether your lived experiences have led you to struggle with depression, intrusive trauma symptoms, or relationship difficulties; I am here to carry it with you.

As a woman, you experience the intense anxiety of being the "perfect" spouse, parent, and/or adult child. You may be tired of feeling unseen, unheard, and alone. You might experience reoccurring intrusive thoughts of “am I messing it all up?” or "am I making the right parenting/life choices?" Even worse, the difficulty in saying "no" means far more on your plate than possible. Feeling anything else may seem like a distant memory. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief! You're ready to feel seen and heard! But most of all you're ready to feel safely and securely connected to the most important people in your life!
