This thing called therapy can feel vulnerable but also comforting. It’s a container for every aspect of you - the silly, the sarcastic, the tender, the frustrated, the explorer... These services are specifically tailored to support every unique facet of what makes you, well...you!
I believe your sensitivity and depth are your strengths, not your kryptonite. I also believe that you’re far more than your symptoms and what’s happened to you. But I know they cause pain and disconnection. You deserve relief, a refuge and access to the moments of joy that also live inside your story.
You don’t have to continue alone, or in the same ways. I will help you to decide what to make out all of the messy and unexpected stuff life throws at you.
Feeling physically tense or on edge, like your body is always in "fight or flight" mode
Afraid to slow down because the quiet feels overwhelming
Struggling to sleep because your mind won’t stop racing
Constantly overthinking and second-guessing every decision you make
I combine EMDR and compassion-focused therapy with other proven methods to help you calm your mind, reconnect with your body, and regain control over your thoughts and emotions. This is about moving beyond managing symptoms to creating a life that feels lighter, freer, and more balanced.
Through a tailored approach that incorporates EMDR and other evidence-based techniques, we’ll address what’s fueling your anxiety rather than just putting a bandage on the symptoms. You’ll learn how to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and respond to challenges with confidence instead of fear. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s finding a way to live fully and freely, even in the face of uncertainty.
Does anxiety feel like a constant shadow, whispering doubt and fear into every corner of your life? You’ve worked hard to hold it all together, but beneath the surface, it’s exhausting to feel “on” all the time. Anxiety doesn’t just affect your thoughts—it weighs on your body, your relationships, and your sense of self. But what if life didn’t have to feel this way anymore?
Unsure how to grieve “correctly” or worried you’re doing it “wrong”
Carrying silent grief from transitions, disappointments, or unspoken losses
Feeling disconnected from the world around you, as if no one truly understands
Struggling with feelings of emptiness or overwhelm after a loss
Grief can feel like a heavy fog, leaving you disoriented and unsure of how to move forward. My approach blends compassionate grief care with EMDR therapy and other specialized methods to help you honor your loss, process complex emotions, and rediscover a sense of purpose in a world that feels forever changed.
In our work together, you’ll find a safe space to express the unspoken, uncover what your grief needs from you, and begin to rebuild your life on your own terms. Using EMDR and compassionate dialogue, I’ll help you navigate the pain without rushing the process. This isn’t about forgetting or moving on—it’s about finding a way to carry your loss while still embracing the possibilities ahead.
Does it feel like everyone expects you to “move on” while you’re still trying to make sense of life after loss? Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a painful life transition, or the grief of unmet expectations, loss can leave you feeling untethered, misunderstood, and alone. Grief isn’t a problem to be solved—it’s a process to be experienced with care and intention.
Feeling trapped by expectations that no longer align with who you are
Longing for a life that feels more meaningful and true to yourself
Struggling with the silent grief of transitions like divorce, career change, or motherhood
Facing a life-changing decision but unsure which direction to take
Seasons of transition often bring a mix of emotions: grief, uncertainty, hope, and even fear. My approach focuses on helping you pause, reflect, and uncover the clarity and strength needed to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
With a blend of relational and evidence-based techniques, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and uncover the values, strengths, and dreams that can guide you forward. You don’t have to have all the answers right now—you just need a starting point. Together, we’ll chart a path that feels right for you, helping you embrace life’s changes with confidence and purpose.
Do you feel like you’re standing at a fork in the road, unsure which path to take? Life’s transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can shake your sense of identity and leave you wondering where to go next. These moments may feel overwhelming, but they’re also opportunities to reconnect with yourself and redefine what you want your life to look like.
You are more than your achievements or your ability to hold it all together. Here, you’ll learn to embrace a life led by authenticity, not perfectionism—where self-worth isn’t earned, but honored.
We’ll uncover the underlying wounds, beliefs, and narratives that keep you stuck. Lasting change comes from understanding why—and then reshaping your relationship with yourself.
This is not a passive process. Together, we dig deep, challenge unhelpful patterns, and do the work—not just to understand, but to transform. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.
The name Counseling Connected was born from a fundamental truth: healing begins within. We are wired for connection—to ourselves and others—but life's pressures, past wounds, and unrelenting expectations often sever these links. Many move through the world outwardly successful yet inwardly adrift, trapped in anxious thought loops, burdened by perfectionism, or disconnected from their own emotions.
True connection—deep, sustaining, and transformative—begins by restoring the relationship we have with ourselves, allowing us to build more fulfilling relationships, pursue meaningful work, and live in alignment with who we are.
