“You can outdistance that which is running after you, but you cannot outdistance that which is running inside you”…..It’s never too late to heal. It’s not about forgetting what happened — it’s about freeing yourself from the grip it still has on your body, mind, and relationships. EMDR therapy helps you process the pain, rewire the patterns, and finally feel peace where there was once only survival.
⠀
You don’t have to carry it forever. Healing is possible. 💫

Starting the morning with something I genuinely love—learning more about EMDR. 📚💛 This work is not just about protocols or steps—it’s about deeply understanding how trauma lives in the body, how healing unfolds, and how I can continue to show up for clients in the most attuned, effective way possible.

The learning never stops, and honestly, I wouldn’t want it to. The more I grow, the better I can help others find relief, connection, and hope. Grateful to do this work, and even more grateful to keep learning how to do it well 🤓🩷

Anxiety. Burnout. Relationship struggles. Grief. Trauma.
Maybe you’ve been telling yourself, “I should be able to handle this.”
But the truth is—healing happens faster, and it’s more effective, when we are connected. As humans, connection is vital for our survival and wellness.

Therapy is a place to slow down, reconnect to yourself, and find new ways forward—without judgment.

If you’re ready to stop just surviving and start truly living, I’m here to help.

The EMDR hangover is real! I know this on a personal and professional level. Sometimes a break through can feel like a break down but one thing I know is that the only way out is through. It’s messy, complex, hard, but so incredibly worth it when your nervous system can fully take a deep breath, and let it go 🩷☀️ ❤️

A hill I would gladly die on- this is TRUTH. 💯

What if mental disorders like PTSD, anxiety, depression, or ADHD aren't disorders at all? Biological anthropologists make the case that they are something else entirely.

✨As both a therapist and someone who’s experienced the life-changing impact of EMDR personally, this completion feels deeply meaningful. EMDR has not only helped me heal my own wounds—it’s transformed the way I support others in their healing journeys.

Completing EMDR Basic Training is just the beginning. I’m actively pursuing EMDRIA certification because I believe in doing this work with integrity, skill, and heart. Certification matters—it means your therapist has continued consultation, advanced learning, and the depth of experience to use EMDR safely and effectively.

This isn’t just a modality. It’s a passion, a calling, and a powerful path to healing. And I’m just getting started. 💛

At the end of the day, we are all just human, just trying to figure it out one moment at a time 🩷
