This season in life isn’t what you expected.

Does the cycle of negative self-talk, unrealistic expectations, & lack of support have you feeling physically, mentally, & emotionally exhausted?

This season in life is hard and it often feels like you can’t catch a break. You’re no longer able to stand tall while carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s hard to remember exactly who you were before this and it’s even harder to love and appreciate who you are today.

It’s getting harder and harder to keep up with the daily demands of life, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

I get it, it’s hard to ask for help when you need it. People have offered to help before but you’ve convinced yourself time and time again that you’d be a burden. You’ve convinced yourself that it’s easier to keep trying to do it all on your own. But things aren’t easier, in fact, they’re only getting harder. You’ve come to realize that the only one standing in your way… is you.

The truth is, you are human and life can be messy — you aren’t alone.

My practice is dedicated to helping women just like you.

**This kind of support could be life changing.**

“...owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”

- Dr. Brené Brown, LMSW

EMDR Therapy for Women

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing. This type of therapy isn’t focused on talking about a traumatic experience over & over again, but rather uses a model based on the application of bilateral stimulation (typically side-to-side eye movements) to help support the body through reprocessing “stuck” information. This evidence-based approach encourages & promotes healing from within the mind, body, & nervous system.

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, I know that healing can be incredibly transformative. Healing isn’t being your “best self” as many may believe, but rather being your most loved, compassionate, & safe-feeling self. EMDR Therapy can help you heal from the inside, out.

HOW THIS WORKS

Ready to focus on you?

1. Schedule a Complimentary 15-min Consultation

You are in the right place, at the right time! I’m currently accepting new clients and scheduling complimentary 15-minute consultations! There’s no obligation — this is simply us having a conversation so that you can get a better sense of who I am and how I can help. I’ll answer any questions you have about starting therapy and we will determine if I’m the right therapist for you. If I am, great! Right now is the perfect time for you to take this first step.

2. Intake Assessment & Treatment Planning

Your first appointment will be a clinical intake assessment. During this session, I’ll ask you questions to get to know you better, learn more about what you’re struggling with, and gain a better sense of what is needed to help you reach your goals. If desired, we can further explore any diagnoses if clinically indicated. A mental health diagnosis is not required for us to work together.

3. Personalized Care & Support

Therapy sessions are usually scheduled on a weekly or every other week basis depending on your needs & goals for therapy. Every aspect of your care will be personalized to meet your needs. During your consultation call, we can talk more about what that might look like!
