EMDR Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma & High-Functioning Professionals 

Over 25 years in practice - means excellence in training AND experience!

 

This is therapy for people who are tired of “coping” and ready for meaningful change.

​

Areas of Focus:

EMDR Therapy | Anxiety | Trauma | Depression | Burnout | Perfectionism | Performance Anxiety | Boundaries | Grief | Faith-Informed Therapy

​

I help high-functioning professionals who are successful on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside.

​​

All you need to do is join the session, and I've got the rest!

​You’re capable. Responsible. High-achieving.

 

From the outside, people think you have it together.

 

But internally, you may feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in overthinking, carrying unresolved trauma, or quietly overwhelmed by the pressure of holding everything together.

 

You may be successful in your career, supportive in your relationships, and dependable for everyone around you—yet still feel disconnected from yourself.

 

This is where deeper therapy matters.

 

I provide psychotherapy and EMDR therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, performance pressure, and the emotional weight of always being the strong one.

 

Together, we move beyond surface-level coping and work toward real healing.

 

My approach is warm, clinically grounded, and focused on lasting change—not just symptom management.

 

For clients who value faith and spirituality, therapy can also respectfully include those important parts of your life and worldview.

​

You do not have to keep functioning in survival mode.

​

Healing is possible and healing is not weakness - it's wisdom!

​

​Therapy offers a place to slow down, understand what is underneath the overwhelm, and create real, lasting change.

You’ve done enough surviving.

Let’s feel calm, clear, and fully present again.
