Therapy for high-functioning, overwhelmed women who are tired of holding it all together

If you’re here, chances are you’re doing a lot “right” on the outside — and still feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted on the inside.

You might be the one others rely on. The one who shows up, over-prepares, anticipates needs, and rarely falls apart in front of anyone else. And yet, internally, your nervous system feels stuck in overdrive. Your mind doesn’t rest. Your body doesn’t fully exhale.

This is the kind of work I specialize in.

You Might Be Struggling With Things Like:

  • Feeling emotionally high functioning but internally overwhelmed

  • Chronic anxiety, overthinking, or mental hypervigilance

  • Perfectionism and fear of getting it wrong

  • People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries

  • Persistent self-doubt or low self-trust

  • Emotional burnout that doesn’t improve with rest

  • Identity shifts, motherhood, career changes, or role transitions

You may often find yourself thinking:

“I know why I feel this way but knowing hasn’t changed it.”

That’s not a personal failure. That’s a nervous system issue.

How I Work

I specialize in EMDR therapy and trauma-informed care for women who are insightful, capable, and stuck in patterns their intellect can’t undo.

Rather than focusing solely on thoughts or behaviors, our work centers on:

A nervous-system-informed, trauma-focused approach

  • The nervous system

  • Emotional memory

  • Patterns shaped by lived experience

  • What your body learned long before you had words

This approach is especially effective for anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic emotional overwhelm even when there isn’t a single “big trauma.”

You Don’t Need to Be Broken to Need Support

Many of my clients hesitate to reach out because they worry they’re “not struggling enough.”

You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need a dramatic story.
You don’t need to justify your pain.

If your inner world feels loud, tense, or unsafe, that’s enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and nervous-system informed. I integrate EMDR therapy with insight-oriented talk therapy to help clients understand their patterns while also addressing anxiety and overwhelm at a deeper level. Sessions move at a pace that feels safe and supportive, with a focus on long-term emotional regulation rather than quick fixes.

  • I specialize in working with high-functioning women who experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and chronic stress. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals and mothers who carry a heavy mental load and feel pressure to hold everything together. If you’re outwardly capable but internally exhausted, therapy with me may be a good fit.

  • While EMDR therapy is a central part of my practice, I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. I combine EMDR with talk therapy, nervous system regulation, and practical support to meet your specific needs. Some sessions focus on trauma or anxiety processing, while others focus on grounding, insight, and emotional stabilization.

  • No. EMDR does not require you to share eery detail of your experiences. We move at a pace that feels manageable, and you remain in control of what you choose to share. Safety, consent and collaboration are central to how I work with each of my clients.

  • When engaging in EMDR for anxiety, we gently explore and work through  experiences at a pace that feels supportive. You don’t need a specific trauma history for EMDR to be effective. If certain patterns, beliefs or emotional responses keep showing up in your life, EMDR can help you understand and shift them with compassion and care.

  • Yes. Many people seek EMDR for anxiety, especially when anxiety is rooted in past experiences, chronic stress or relational patterns. EMDR can help reduce emotional reactivity and support a greater sense of calm. Especially when anxiety may have been present for a long time.

  • Many clients come to me after previous therapy experiences that felt helpful intellectually but didn’t lead to lasting change. EMDR for anxiety and trauma can be especially effective when insight alone hasn’t reduced emotional reactivity or overwhelm. We work at both the cognitive and nervous system level to create meaningful, sustainable shifts.

  • No. You don’t need a single traumatic event to benefit from EMDR therapy. Anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic overwhelm often develop from repeated stress or emotionally demanding experiences over time. EMDR can help address these patterns even when there isn’t a clear or obvious trauma.

  • Clients often describe therapy with me as grounding, supportive, and emotionally clarifying. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform or stay composed. Together, we focus on reducing anxiety, increasing emotional regulation, and helping you feel more connected to yourself and your life.

  • My role is to guide, support, and help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, not to tell you who to be or how to live your life. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside you to help you feel more regulated, empowered, and connected to yourself, both in and outside of sessions.
