Individual Counseling

InIndividual therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and rooted in mutual respect. I work with adults who are tired of people-pleasing, burned out from keeping it all together, or overwhelmed by emotions they don’t fully understand—especially anger. All of my sessions are offered virtually, so you can do this work from the comfort and privacy of your own space without the added stress of commuting or rearranging your entire day.

In our work together, we’ll look beneath the stress, frustration, and self-doubt—not to “fix” you, but to help you understand your emotional patterns and reconnect with the needs you’ve been overriding for years. Many of my clients carry complicated family histories, especially with emotionally immature parents, and feel stuck in dynamics that run on autopilot. We’ll talk about boundaries, anger, identity, and what it actually means to stop outsourcing your self-worth to other people’s reactions.

You don’t have to come into therapy with perfect insight or a detailed plan. You just need to be willing to show up. I’m a warm, no-nonsense therapist who will challenge you when needed and sit with you through the messy moments. My job is to help you feel your emotions without being consumed by them—and to help you reclaim what safety, clarity, and self-acceptance feel like in your body, not just in your mind.

Each session is shaped around what you bring that day. I draw from EMDR, relational therapy, and nervous system education to help you build the emotional muscles needed for change that lasts. This isn’t surface-level self-care or temporary symptom relief. It’s deep, steady work that helps you understand who you are, what you want, and how to move through the world with confidence instead of fear.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a well-researched therapy that helps people process overwhelming experiences so those memories or patterns don’t keep hijacking the present. While EMDR is often used to treat trauma, it can also be incredibly effective for things like social anxiety, driving-related stress, work overwhelm, or fears that don’t always make logical sense.

EMDR works by helping the brain and body reprocess distressing memories in a way that feels safer and more complete. You don’t have to relive everything in detail—instead, we stay grounded in the present while your nervous system does the work of filing things where they belong. Many of my clients are surprised by how powerful it can be.

I’ve used EMDR in my own therapy, and it helped me work through a lifelong fear of the dark—something I didn’t expect to shift as deeply as it did. That experience gave me a real appreciation for this work. If you're curious about EMDR and whether it might be helpful for you, we can talk more about it in session and move at a pace that feels right.
