[Verb] [Problem], [Verb] [Problem]
You may understand things logically, but your body keeps reacting anyway. This is a nervous system pattern, not a personal failure - and it can actually change.
You might be in the right place if you’ve tried therapy before and still feel stuck.
You replay conversations for hours or days
You panic someone is pulling away
You overreact and feel embarrassed afterward
You know why you react…but can’t stop the reaction
You shut down or go numb when conflict starts
You’ve done so much work on yourself, but you’re still quietly suffering. A part of you doesn’t think it’s possible to heal from what you’ve been through.
Why this keeps happening
Your brain stored danger, abandonment, or shame - not memory
Your body reacts before thinking
Relationships activate it most
Will power cannot override nervous system learning
How I work
I focus on safety in the therapeutic relationship first.
My approach is intentional, paced, and collaborative. We let your nervous system lead so that you feel stable, grounded, and see gradual improvement without feeling flooded.
Sessions are structured, but not rigid. We work toward processing when appropriate and slow down when your system needs more support.
The goal is meaningful progress — not pushing, rushing, or reliving experiences unnecessarily.
Many people who reach out don’t think of themselves as having trauma. They just know their reactions don’t match the present situation.
You don’t have to identify with the word “trauma”
Many clients I work with wouldn’t initially describe their past as traumatic.
They come in because:
they react more strongly than they want to
conflict feels overwhelming
they shut down or panic in relationships
they understand things logically but their emotions don’t follow
EMDR focuses on how your brain learned to respond - not on labeling your experiences.
Fee Structure
This practice is primarily private pay, which allows for focused, individualized care without insurance-based limitations.
Private pay means we’re not constrained by diagnosis requirements, session caps, or productivity-driven timelines. Treatment is guided by clinical need — not billing rules.
Sessions are designed to be intentional and effective, with many clients choosing EMDR specifically because they’re ready for meaningful change rather than open-ended therapy.
Current fees:
• Individual sessions: $175
• Free 15-minute consultation available
You don’t wait until things are worse
Most people don’t reach out when everything is calm and organized.
They reach out after:
a difficult conversation they can’t stop replaying
reacting in a way that scared or embarrassed them
panic, shutdown, or emotional overwhelm
realizing a relationship pattern keeps repeating
You are not expected to have a clear explanation yet. Reaching out early is often what prevents patterns from deepening.
Starting a conversation is slower than you think
You won’t be asked to relive everything right away. Many sessions don’t involve processing at all - sometimes we’re just understanding patterns and stabilizing reactions.
The first phase of this support focuses on:
understanding what’s been happening lately
identifying patterns you want to change
building stability and emotional control
making sure the pace feels safe and manageable
EMDR processing only begins when you feel ready and have tools to stay grounded.
Many clients tell me they expected therapy to feel overwhelming - and were surprised it felt relieving instead.
Why EMDR (and why insight alone hasn’t changed the reactions)
Many people who reach out already understand themselves pretty well.
They’ve thought about their past.
They’ve made connections.
They may have even done therapy before.
But the reactions still happen.
You might notice you logically know you’re safe or that a situation is minor — yet your body reacts as if something important is at risk. The response shows up before you can stop it.
That’s because these patterns are not stored only as thoughts.
They’re stored as nervous system learning.
When something in the present resembles an earlier emotional experience — especially in relationships — your brain activates a protection response automatically. You don’t choose it, and you can’t reason it away in the moment.
EMDR helps your brain update those stored responses so the present stops feeling like the past.
Instead of just understanding why you react, your reactions begin to match what is actually happening now.
You don’t have to relive everything for this to work. The process is gradual and paced so it stays manageable.
Schedule a free 15-minute consultation
This brief call is a space to ask questions, share what you’re hoping to work on, and determine whether this approach feels like the right fit for you.
There’s no pressure to commit — just a focused conversation to see if working together makes sense.
You can schedule even if you’re not sure therapy is what you need.
It’s okay if you’re unsure - most people are when they schedule. You don’t need to know what to say.
You don’t have to explain everything clearly during the call. It’s completely okay if you’re unsure what to say, get emotional, or need pauses - I will guide the conversation and keep it manageable.
You are not committing to therapy by scheduling.
Many people use the consult simply to:
ask questions
understand options
see if they feel comfortable talking with me.
You can decide afterward. I won’t pressure you to schedule sessions.
What happens in the 15-minute consult
You won’t be expected to share your whole story
I’ll ask a few simple questions about what’s been hardest lately
You can keep things as general as you want.
You can ask about EMDR, cost, or how therapy works
At the end, you decide whether you want to move forward - not me.
There is no obligation to schedule therapy after the call.
