EMDR & TRAUMA THERAPY · CONNECTICUT
For adults who've done the work and still feel stuck.
You've done meaningful work. Something hasn't fully settled. There's further to go.
What’s underneath
From the outside, you look like you’re managing it all.
But most people don’t see:
The jaw you’re constantly clenching
A mind with 26 tabs open all the time
The tightness in your chest despite the smile
The constant chatter of what ifs
Exhaustion from powering through
How you feel like an imposter
Your mind moving 100 miles per hour
The weight of taking care of everyone else
You've learned how to keep keepin' on. You've learned how to explain why you feel the way you do.
And for a long time, that was enough.
A Turning Point
Then something happened.
Maybe:
-the pressure at work finally tipped the scale
-the thing you’d been managing became impossible to handle
-you were caught off guard and sent spiraling
-that old thing resurfaced with a vengeance
-your bandwidth hit its limit and you crashed
The things that used to help aren't working the way they used to.
The masking is burning you out.
You’re white knuckling it through every meeting and conversation.
You’re holding so much and not sure what to do anymore.
What you long for
A little less holding on.
A Little Less
managing.
monitoring.
bracing.
A Little More
trust in yourself.
room for your own needs.
energy for what you love.
and to feel
like life isn’t something to simply stay ahead of.
It’s exhausting trying to out-logic your body.
Where this work begins.
You've built meaningful understanding. You see your patterns. You've developed coping skills. Yet some of what you're carrying has roots that understanding alone hasn’t been able to reach.
It may not necessarily be a single event you can point to. Sometimes it's quieter than that. You may be holding the steady accumulation of what was expected of you. The feelings you learned to set aside or manage quietly on your own. The ways you made yourself smaller or steadier so someone else could feel okay.
You may not think of any of that as trauma. Many people I work with don't. Those experiences have a way of showing up long after they're over. Sometimes in our thoughts. Sometimes in our reactions. Sometimes in ways we can't fully explain.
That's where this work begins.

Building on the work you've already done.
You’re in the right place if you’ve already done meaningful healing and you’re looking for depth-oriented work to support your body catching up to what your mind has worked so hard to understand. All the prior healing work you’ve done matters here. We don’t discard it, we build on it.
I use EMDR and parts work to help the changes you understand intellectually start to feel more true in daily life. We aren't here to talk you out of your feelings. We're here to understand what keeps the pattern going and help it loosen its hold → read more about EMDR and partswork
The format of therapy should fit the work, not the other way around. We co-design a container that matches the depth you're looking for — a steady weekly rhythm, or longer blocks of two or three hours (EMDR intensives) so the nervous system has time to settle and process.
We start with a 90-minute deep-dive intake to map out your goals, then choose the format that makes the most sense for your life. As the work evolves, the format can too.
How We Begin
1
Consultation Call
We explore what’s bringing you in and whether this approach feels like a fit.
2
Design your format
We decide which format we start in: weekly sessions, extended 2-hour blocks, or 3-hour intensive sessions.
3
Start the Process
We start where you are and move at a pace that supports you and your goals.
If you’re ready to chat.
Start the Conversation.
The next step is a 25-minute phone call, no cost, no pressure. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what you've already tried and whether working together feels right to both of us. If it doesn't, I'll do my best to point you somewhere that fits better.
You don't have to know what format you want, or how to describe what's stuck. You just have to be willing to start the conversation.
