Intensive EMDR Therapy for Anxious Women | Connecticut
From holding it all together— to finally being able to breathe.
For women whose minds get it, but their bodies are still holding on.
Every day shouldn’t feel like survival mode.
From the outside, it looks like you've got it together. But inside? Your chest is tight. Your jaw clenches at night. Your mind runs on a hamster wheel of what-ifs and should-haves.
You've done so much work to help yourself. You see your patterns. You understand the "why" behind your anxiety, overwhelm and need to be perfect. But all that insight hasn’t given you the relief you are searching for.
Here's the thing: you can't think your way out of what your body is holding onto. No amount of thinking can fix the way your body braces for criticism before anyone has even spoken, how your nervous system goes into a panic over the smallest misunderstanding, why some moments send you spiraling down the rabbit hole even when you know better. You don't need more insight. You need a way to help your body catch up to what you've worked so diligently to understand.
You long to:

Sleep without your mind running through tomorrow's to-do list or rehashing yesterday's mistakes
Stop second-guessing every thought, email, text, and decision
Feel happy without needing to curate a picture-perfect version of your life
Look toward the future with hope, not dread
Feel steady on the inside even when life outside is messy
Hi, I’m Laura.
If you're here, you're ready for an approach that honors how far you've come and helps you break the patterns that are keeping you stuck. You’ve noticed the anxiety loops you can’t out logic. You’ve felt the perfectionism that ties your worth to achievement, and the people-pleasing that leaves you quietly exhausted.
You’ve done the insight work. Now you’re looking for something that helps your mind, body, and spirit actually feel free.
I use EMDR therapy to help your nervous system release the old patterns that keep you bracing for impact so you can move through the world with more calm, confidence, and trust in yourself.
This isn’t about learning more coping skills or getting quick answers. It’s about going deeper and moving towards full, embodied relief.
The work is grounded and structured, but it also makes space for intuition, meaning, and the wisdom your body already holds. There’s room for both the hard stuff and the moments of lightness as things start to shift. And it asks something of you: curiosity, willingness, and a genuine commitment to your own growth.
Over time, your nervous system learns it doesn’t have to work so hard anymore and you get to move through the world feeling calmer, lighter, and more present, without constantly waiting for the ground to give out beneath you.
I support women who are…

You’ll experience:
A calm confidence, the ability to rest without earning it

Feel the Change.
I truly love the work I do with clients, but my goal is for you to not need to come see me forever. I want you to feel real change not just inside the therapy space, but in everyday life.
