Therapy for Women Ready to Move Forward

You don’t have to stay stuck in emotional loops or repeating patterns.

  1. Struggles may stem from hormonal changes, past relationships, or long-term emotional overwhelm.

  2. This is a space for healing and growth.

  3. I offer trauma-informed therapy for women using:

    • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

    • Polyvagal Theory

    • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

    • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  4. The goal: reconnect with your body, reclaim your voice, and move forward with clarity.

Why You Feel Stuck—and How We Can Shift That

So many women carry invisible emotional burdens. You might appear “fine” on the outside, yet inside you feel anxious, disconnected, exhausted, or resentful. You may notice:

• You keep attracting emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners.

• You feel intense guilt or shame when trying to set boundaries.

• You’ve lost a sense of who you are outside of being needed by others.

• Your emotions feel unpredictable or overwhelming, especially during hormonal shifts.

• You struggle with self-trust or feel unsure about what you really want.

The truth is: you are not broken. Your nervous system is doing its best to protect you based on past experiences.

Therapy can help you rewire those survival patterns so you can live with more ease, authenticity, and emotional regulation.

Hormones & Trauma: The Overlooked Connection

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can intensify symptoms like anxiety, depression, irritability, and memory issues.

  1. Declining estrogen and progesterone can reactivate unprocessed trauma, especially from relationships.

  2. These changes make the nervous system more sensitive, resurfacing old emotional wounds.

  3. You're not "going crazy"—your body is calling for nervous system support, trauma healing, and compassion.

Therapy can help you:

  • Navigate hormonal changes with more grace and awareness.

  • Understand how past trauma may be amplifying current symptoms.

  • Reconnect to your body’s natural capacity to heal and self-regulate.

Healing from Relationship Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, and Codependency

Have you been in a relationship that made you question your worth, your reality, or your sanity? Maybe you were with someone who was emotionally manipulative, unavailable, or narcissistic— and now you’re left sorting through the emotional wreckage.

You might struggle with:

  • Feeling overly responsible for others’ emotions.

  • Losing yourself in relationships.

  • Avoiding conflict out of fear of abandonment.

  • Internalizing blame or criticism.

Using tools from IFS, we’ll explore the protective parts of you that developed to keep you safe—and help them soften so your authentic Self can lead. With EMDR, we’ll process stuck memories and rewire your brain’s emotional responses. Polyvagal techniques will help you feel safer in your body again. And with DBT, you’ll build emotional resilience, boundary skills, and mindful awareness.

What Therapy Looks Like With Me

What Therapy Looks Like With Me You don’t need to have all the answers to begin.

Our sessions are gentle yet transformative, honoring your story while helping you create new pathways forward. Here’s what you can expect:

You Deserve to Feel at Home in Your Life

You don’t have to keep living in survival mode. You don’t have to numb, over-function, or hide parts of yourself to stay safe. You can create a life that feels calm, connected, and aligned with who you truly are. Whether you're at a crossroads in your relationships, moving through midlife changes, or finally ready to heal the wounds you’ve carried for years—therapy can be the catalyst. This is a space for you to reconnect, reclaim, and rise.

  • We’ll start by slowing down. You’ll be invited to tune into what’s happening in your body, not just your thoughts. This helps deepen emotional clarity and reduce overwhelm.

  • You’re not one-size-fits-all. We’ll weave together DBT tools (like mindfulness and emotion regulation), Polyvagal exercises (like grounding and breathwork), IFS parts work, and EMDR reprocessing as needed. Some sessions might focus on practical coping, while others go deeper into past memories.

  • You’ll learn to differentiate between your wounded parts (the people-pleaser, the inner critic, the avoider) and your true Self—the calm, curious, compassionate part of you that’s always been there underneath the survival strategies.

  • We’ll use somatic (body-based) practices to help shift your physiology out of fight, flight, or freeze. This is essential for healing trauma and restoring a sense of safety and trust in yourself.
