I specialize in supporting high-achieving women, femme-identifying professionals, and BIPOC leaders across Washington State who are carrying more than most people can see. 

Many of my clients are leaders, helpers, therapists, educators, and caregivers. They are competent and capable - and often exhausted.

They’re navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, identity-based stress, and high-functioning depression while still showing up for everyone else.

As an EMDR therapist in Kirkland, WA, I help driven individuals slow down enough to heal - without asking them to shrink their ambition.

You don’t have to fall apart to deserve support.

I don’t separate mental health from lived reality.

My work is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in a social justice lens. That means we name how stress is shaped by systems, culture, identity, family roles, and generational patterns - not just “mindset.”

I integrate EMDR therapy, nervous system regulation, and attachment work so we move beyond surface coping and into deeper processing.

We don’t just manage symptoms.We help your nervous system resolve what it’s been bracing against.

If you’re looking for an EMDR therapist in Washington State who understands both high performance and systemic stress, you’re in the right place.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel stuck or overwhelming.

When stressful or traumatic events aren’t fully processed, they can continue to impact how you think, feel, and respond — even years later. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help the brain integrate these experiences in a healthier way.

Many clients seeking EMDR therapy in Kirkland or across Washington State report:

• Reduced emotional intensity

• Fewer intrusive thoughts

• Greater clarity and self-trust

• Relief from long-standing anxiety patterns

EMDR doesn’t erase what happened. It helps your nervous system recognize that it’s no longer happening now.

Yes! I offer EMDR therapy intensives in Kirkland, WA (Eastside) as well as extended-format sessions for clients across Washington State.

Therapy intensives are designed for individuals who want focused, accelerated healing rather than waiting months in weekly therapy. Options typically range from 1–3 day intensives and are ideal for:

• Professionals with limited weekly availability

• Clients preparing for major life transitions

• Individuals wanting to process specific traumatic events

• High-achievers ready for deeper nervous system reset

EMDR intensives allow us to move beyond surface coping and into meaningful reprocessing in a structured, supported format.

Yes — both!

I provide:

• In-person therapy in Kirkland, WA (Eastside area)

• Virtual therapy for clients located anywhere in Washington State

In-person sessions are available in my Kirkland office, offering a private, calm space for deeper trauma work and EMDR intensives.

Virtual therapy allows clients across Washington State to access specialized EMDR therapy without commuting — while still receiving structured, effective treatment.

Both formats are held with the same level of presence, care, and clinical depth.

Because high-functioning doesn’t mean unburdened.

Many of my clients are praised for their strength and leadership - and privately depleted.

They may feel:

• Chronically exhausted
• Emotionally numb or reactive
• Responsible for everyone else’s stability
• Afraid that slowing down will cause everything to unravel

You don’t need a visible crisis to justify support.

As a trauma-informed EMDR therapist in Washington State, I help driven professionals address the nervous system patterns underneath over-functioning and burnout.

You are allowed to want rest.
You are allowed to want peace.

If this resonates, scheduling a consultation is a powerful first step.
