Intensive EMDR & Therapy for Overwhelmed 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.
When you’re stuck despite all your efforts.
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 know you’re feeling stuck. But all your insight hasn’t given you the full embodied relief you are searching for. The type of relief where you don’t just think differently about yourself but you actually FEEL differently.
Here's the thing: you can't out logic what your body is holding onto. Insight and logic alone can’t 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

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 …
