You do everything right so no one leaves. You explain your feelings instead of feeling them.You stay busy so you don’t have to slow down. & no matter how much you give, it never feels enough.
I help high-achieving women release the pressure, reconnect with their emotions, and finally feel safe enough to heal through EMDR & trauma-informed therapy across California.
Does This Sound Familiar?
-
“I can tell you what’s wrong, but it’s like I’m disconnected from actually feeling it in my body.”
-
“I don’t know how to stop. Even when I’m exhausted, I’m still taking care of everyone else.”
-
“I hate that I can’t just move on… maybe I really am too sensitive or too much.”
-
“If I say no, they’ll leave… So I just keep quiet and push my needs aside.”
If this feels familiar, I can help you reconnect with yourself and your emotions.
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone

Anxiety Therapy (Weekly)
When you’re an overthinker, overdoer, or people-pleaser, anxiety can feel like carrying silent pressure while your mind runs endless loops. Our sessions give you a steady space to quiet the noise, release what’s been weighing on you, and build lasting emotional safety.

Trauma-Informed Therapy (For the Past You Couldn’t Control)
Sometimes the anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing aren’t the whole story they’re signs of deeper wounds your body has been carrying for years. Together, we’ll gently untangle those patterns, release what’s been stored in your body, and help you feel safe, grounded, and fully present in your life.
Ways to Work Together
A Free 15 Minute Consultation Call
A gentle space to ask questions, fill things out, and see if we’re a good fit. No pressure, just clarity, safety and next steps at your pace.
EMDR Intensives
Feel like talk therapy isn’t cutting it? Are you ready for transformation? These extended sessions help you move through the root of what’s keeping you stuck, fast. Clear old wounds, calm your nervous system, and finally feel like yourself again.
50 Minute Individual Therapy Session
Weekly sessions offer a steady, supportive space to explore patterns like overthinking, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, and anxiety. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, which can be adjusted over time based on your needs and preferences.
Why Work With Me?
Therapy with me isn’t about talking in circles it’s about creating the kind of space where real change happens.
Clients often tell me they leave our sessions, feeling grounded, lighter, and more confident than when they came in. They know they can bring the real, unfiltered version of themselves and still feel completely safe.
My role is to help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels steady, supported and sustainable so the shifts you make in therapy stick in your every day life.
What Sets My Therapy Apart:
-
Most of us were never taught what emotions really are, or how to feel them safely. In our work, you’ll learn how to listen to your emotions instead of fearing or avoiding them. I’ll help you decode the signals behind your anxiety, anger, or numbness so you can respond with clarity instead of reacting from survival.
-
If you’ve ever tried deep breathing or “self-care” that didn’t touch the panic or overwhelm underneath, this is different. You’ll learn nervous system tools that meet you in the moment and help you come back to calm, grounded presence even when life feels chaotic.
-
You don’t need another list of tips to keep your head above water. EMDR therapy helps you release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying in your body for years, so you can finally stop bracing for impact and start feeling light, safe, and truly present in your life.
Therapy Can Help You:
Finally feel your emotions instead of just thinking about them.
Slow down without the fear of falling apart or losing control.
Say no without the guilt, fear, or second-guessing that usually follows.
Trust yourself enough to stop overanalyzing every word and decision.
Let go of the need to keep everyone happy at the expense of your own needs.
Feel safe showing up as the real you and not the “perfect” or “strong” version.
Release the weight of old hurts so you can be present in your life again.

Healing starts here:
EMDR & Trauma Therapy for burnout, anxiety & unresolved trauma.
I work with high-achieving women who feel like they’re always “on.” You give your best to everyone else, but inside you feel burned out, anxious, and disconnected like you can’t remember the last time you felt calm, grounded, or at peace with yourself.
I know how heavy that feels. When you’ve been carrying childhood trauma, heartbreak, or emotional wounds for years, it’s easy to believe you have to keep pushing through but you don’t.
Through EMDR therapy, emotional intelligence work, and trauma-informed care, we’ll slow down together. I’ll help you create a safe, judgment-free space to feel and release what’s been buried and not just cope with it.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel confusing.
Reach out.
We’ll talk for 15 minutes to see what’s been heavy, what you’re hoping for, and what would be help you feel safe to begin.Schedule Your Intake.
If it feels right, we’ll schedule your intake during your call… I will send you a welcome email with all the detailed and paperwork you need to prepare you for our first session together.Work At Your Pace.
Whether it’s weekly therapy or an EMDR Intensive, we’ll create a rhythm that fits your life and your nervous system. Every step is guided by your needs and goals.Feel like you.
Over time, you’ll feel clearer, calmer, and more connected to yourself. No performing or apologizing.
I help high-achieving, emotionally exhausted women who grew up with emotionally unavailable, absent, or critical caregivers (especially mothers) finally feel safe enough to stop performing and start healing. Most of my clients are cycle breakers, people-pleasers, or perfectionists who are ready to stop carrying the emotional weight of everyone else and reconnect with themselves using EMDR and nervous system regulation.
