Thinking your way through everything — but rarely feeling it.

If you tend to overanalyze, rationalize, and intellectualize your emotions, you likely learned early on that thinking was safer than feeling. You can name your patterns, explain your trauma, and understand why you are the way you are — yet the same emotional cycles keep repeating.

This work supports people who feel stuck despite years of insight. Together, we move beyond understanding your emotions and into safely experiencing and integrating them in the body.

Using EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), therapy focuses on:

• noticing when analysis replaces feeling

• processing emotions through the nervous system, not just the mind

• building self-trust without needing certainty or control

• releasing the pressure to figure everything out before healing can happen

This approach is especially supportive for high-achieving thinkers who are tired of managing their emotions instead of actually moving through them.

When being everything for everyone is quietly exhausting you.

People-pleasing and perfectionism often look like strengths — until they lead to chronic burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion. You may feel responsible for others’ comfort, struggle to say no, or keep pushing past your limits even when your body is asking for rest.

This therapy supports clients who are tired of overgiving, overfunctioning, and holding it all together at their own expense.

Through trauma-focused and somatic therapy, we work to:

• understand people-pleasing and perfectionism as survival responses

• address burnout as a nervous system issue, not a personal failure

• reconnect with your needs, boundaries, and internal signals

• build safety around rest, saying no, and taking up space

This work is especially helpful for high-achieving women who feel depleted, emotionally drained, and stuck in cycles of overdoing.

When relationships trigger anxiety, shutdown, or self-abandonment.

If relationships feel overwhelming, unpredictable, or emotionally activating, attachment trauma may be at play. You might struggle with closeness, fear abandonment, shut down during conflict, or lose yourself in relationships trying to maintain connection.

This work supports clients navigating relationship patterns rooted in early attachment experiences and relational trauma.

Using IFS, EMDR, and somatic therapy, we focus on:

• understanding attachment patterns without blame or shame

• working with the nervous system responses that show up in relationships

• increasing emotional safety, capacity, and self-trust

• learning how to stay connected without self-abandoning

This therapy is well-suited for those who want healthier relationships — not just insight into why relationships feel hard.

Trauma-focused therapy that goes beyond talking.

EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy support healing at the level where trauma lives — in the nervous system and the body. This approach helps process distressing experiences, negative beliefs, and emotional blocks without requiring you to relive everything verbally.

This work is especially helpful for:

• unresolved trauma

• chronic stress and emotional overwhelm

• negative self-beliefs and internal conflict

• feeling stuck despite years of talk therapy

Together, we focus on helping your nervous system experience safety, resolution, and integration — not just understanding.

When confidence is shaky and self-doubt runs the show.

Low self-worth often develops in environments where you had to earn love, approval, or safety. You may second-guess yourself, struggle to trust your decisions, or rely on external validation to feel okay.

This therapy supports clients who want to rebuild a grounded sense of self-worth and internal trust.

Through trauma-focused and somatic work, we focus on:

• unlearning internalized shame and self-criticism

• strengthening self-trust and internal authority

• reconnecting with your intuition and inner knowing

• developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself

This work is especially supportive for those ready to stop outsourcing their worth.

Support during pregnancy and after birth — without minimizing your experience.

Pregnancy and postpartum can bring anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm. These experiences are more common than people admit — and they deserve real, attuned support.

I provide trauma-informed therapy for:

• prenatal and postpartum anxiety

• postpartum depression

• intrusive thoughts

• identity and relational shifts around motherhood

This work centers emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and compassion — without judgment or pressure to “just enjoy it.”

When anxiety or low mood feels constant, overwhelming, or hard to explain.

Anxiety and mood disorders often show up as racing thoughts, tension in the body, irritability, emotional numbness, or persistent worry. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this work looks at how your nervous system has learned to stay on high alert.

Using a trauma-focused, somatic approach, therapy focuses on:

• regulating the nervous system

• reducing chronic anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• building internal safety and emotional capacity

• understanding symptoms as adaptive responses, not failures

This approach is especially helpful for clients who want more than symptom management.
