Hello there, Midlifer!
You’re in the right place if you’re struggling with:

✔ Midlife Transitions: divorce, caregiving, health issues, empty nest, grief, career change, compassion fatigue & burnout, depression, menopause
✔ Self-Concept: low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, trust issues, poor boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, fear of failure or
✔ Physical or Emotional Dysregulation: overreactions to minor issues, inability to relax the body, constant worry
✔ You’re located in Illinois, Florida, South Carolina, or Texas. If you are located elsewhere, contact me about coaching options.
And Maybe…
You’re not sure if you have experienced “trauma,” but you feel your past getting in the way of the present.
Your body and mind feel “dysregulated” like your feelings or body’s reactions are too extreme or out of control, making it hard to handle situations normally.
You’ve tried traditional therapy before and not made much progress, and the idea of doing intensive and highly effective work to heal the root causes sounds much more like you.
Or, you have a weekly talk therapist you like, but feel something is missing. Often it’s the brain + body piece, which can be addressed with EMDR, Brainspotting, and other methods that we can do alongside your talk therapy.
I work with Midlife Women to help them REIMAGINE themselves and their lives in three main ways:
60-90 Minutes
You want the power and transformation of EMDR and Brainspotting, but you’re not quite ready to commit to an Intensive Retreat. Standard weekly sessions may be the best fit for you.
EMDR & Brainspotting Intensives
1, 2, or 3 days
Invest in your health, healing, and happiness using super effective and powerful body and brain tools that disrupt distressing memories, and free the body from a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze.
EMDR Adjunct Therapy:
Customized to Fit Your Needs
You already have a talk therapist but want to add the power and transformation of EMDR and/or Brainspotting to supplement your current talk therapy schedule to target the trauma stored in the body.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Before scheduling a therapy session, I offer a complimentary meet and greet to all potential new clients.
This gives us the chance to get to know each other. Here’s what you can expect:
I’ll ask you about your reasons for seeking therapy.
I’ll share a bit about myself and my approach as a therapist.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions I haven’t covered.
01
So we’re a good fit. What next?
If we both decide we’re a good fit after our intro call, we’ll schedule our first therapy appointment. I’ll send you a couple of quick forms to complete before our first session, as well as a link for our weekly video calls.
02
What’s a therapy session like?
As a therapist, I have a relaxed, warm, nonjudgmental, and relatable approach that will make getting started easier. During our first session or two, I'll ask you questions to gain a better understanding of your life journey. I will listen to you without judgment, and together we will establish goals for what you hope to accomplish in therapy.
Throughout therapy, you'll have the opportunity to vent, gain perspective, develop new insights, challenge your thoughts, receive feedback, and practice new coping skills. Sometimes therapy can be tough work, and other times it is fun and full of laughter. Either way, I am here to support you and will help you achieve the change and growth you are seeking.
