What This Means For Your Life
Imagine..
You stop reacting from old wounds.
Your mind feels quieter.
Your body feels lighter.
You no longer carry the responsibility for everyone around you.
What this actually looks like in your life:
Conversations feel easier
Boundaries become natural
You stop taking on everyone’s stuff
Triggers lose their power
You feel grounded and in control
This is the transformation high-achieving women experience when they finally get the support they’ve always needed. EMDR Intensives create change in days, not years.

If you’ve spent years feeling “not enough”… you’re not alone
Maybe you learned to stay small.
Maybe you learned to keep the peace.
Maybe you learned that love meant being perfect, helpful, or low-maintenance.
Now it shows up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or pressure to perform. It’s not beacuse something is wrong with you, it’s because your nervous system adapted to survive.
I help high-achieving women release that old survival wiring through EMDR intensives, so you can come home to yourself again.
If You’re Experiencing Trauma, Anxiety or Emotional Burnout…
You’re Not Alone
You’ve probably gotten really good at:
Saying “I’m fine” while overthinking everything
Holding yourself to impossible standards
Feeling guilty anytime you slow down
Giving endlessly while feeling unseen
None of this means you’re broken. It means your nervous system has been in survival mode for a long time and it’s exhausted.
Intensives help you shift out of survival and into safety, clarity, and calm.

Anxiety Therapy
When your mind won’t stop replaying conversations or future “what ifs,” anxiety therapy helps you slow down and breathe again.
We’ll work on grounding your body, understanding the root of your stress, and breaking the cycle of self-pressure and perfectionism that keeps you stuck in survival mode.

You may look strong on the outside, but inside, you’re tired of holding it all together.
Trauma-informed therapy helps you heal the past you couldn’t control (whether from childhood wounds, emotional neglect, or painful relationships) so you can feel safe, seen, and enough in the present.

Grief Counseling
Grief shows up after heartbreak, divorce, miscarriage, family estrangement, or even the loss of the life you thought you’d have.
The waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness can make you feel disconnected from yourself and others. Together we’ll honor your pain and rebuild connection after loss.
