Intensive EMDR Therapy for Anxious Women | Connecticut
From holding it all together— to finally being able to breathe.
Therapy for women who've tried it all but still feel stuck.
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—Therapy, journaling, meditation apps.
Your social media algorithm screams introspection & self-growth.
You see your patterns. Insight isn't the issue.
But you just don’t feel better or feel like yourself.
Here's the thing: you can't out logic what your body is holding onto.
You’re not looking for more coping strategies. You’re looking for actual relief.
You long to:
→
→
→
→
→
Sleep without your mind running through tomorrow's to-do list or 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 probably already know that healing isn't a straight line and you're ready for an approach that honors how far you've come and where you still want to go.
I use EMDR therapy (weekly sessions or intensive format) to help your nervous system finally catch up with the life you're trying to build. The work is structured, but it's also deeply human as there's room for both the hard stuff and the moments of lightness as things start to shift.
Here's the good news: you don't have to endlessly rehash the past to heal from it. Real change happens when your body stops bracing and your mind stops spinning—so you can actually live differently.
Maybe anxiety has you stuck in loops you can't think your way out of. Maybe perfectionism and people-pleasing have convinced you that your worth depends on how much you achieve or how little you rock the boat. Maybe grief or old wounds still have you waiting for the other shoe to drop, even when things are okay.
Whatever brought you here, this work happens at your pace. Over time, your nervous system learns it doesn't have to work so hard anymore. You get to feel calmer, lighter, and more like yourself—without constantly white-knuckling your way through the day.
I support women who are…
What change looks like:
Instead of:
Lying awake replaying conversations, worrying about what people think
✘
Carrying everyone else’s emotions and problems
✘
Pushing through anxiety and burnout because "you should be able to handle it"
✘
Having old wounds hijack your relationships and reactions
✘
You’ll experience:
A calm confidence, the ability to rest without earning it
✔
Responses that come from your adult self, not old patterns
✔
The freedom to care without carrying, to support without sacrificing yourself
✔
Clear boundaries without guilt, decisions made from your own wisdom

How it Works

Get in Touch.
Reach out to schedule a free consult. We’ll talk through logistics, questions, and make sure it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure, just information and space to decide.

Start the work.
If it’s a go, we’ll schedule your planning session. You’ll receive a customized therapy workbook to help clarify your goals and value so we start with a clear roadmap in hand.

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.
