"What if my story is too much?"

It's not. And you're not.

The container is built for strong, sensitive women who've carried a lot. We pace for depth and dignity. Your trauma history isn't too much...it just requires the right modality, the right nervous system support, and a practitioner who isn't afraid of intensity.

This space was designed to hold all of you. Not the edited version. Not the "manageable" version. All of you.

"What if nothing changes? I've lost trust in healing."

You don't have to believe yet...just be willing to show up.

Your skepticism is welcome. We measure progress practically: sleep quality, startle response, shutdown patterns, guilt after setting boundaries. We track change with evidence...distress levels ratings, body sensations, lived experience.

You'll know what's shifting because you'll feel it in real time. Not because I tell you it's working, but because your body shows you.

"I can't justify spending on myself."

You're already paying...in exhaustion and self-abandonment. This is reclamation.

Investment here compounds everywhere else: capacity, relationships, leadership, rest, clarity. Private pay maintains privacy and pace that insurance doesn't get to dictate. This isn't an expense. It's the foundation everything else is built on.

What would it be worth to finally feel safe in your own body? To trust your intuitive knowing? To stop managing symptoms and actually resolve what's driving them?

"I don't know what I need."

Your body knows. We'll start there.

The Readiness Consultation clarifies goals, pace, and immediate supports. We begin with what your nervous system shows us...not perfection or overexplaining. In less than 20 minutes, we co-create a plan that suits your needs.

You don't have to have it all figured out. That's what the process is for.

"I don't have time."

This doesn't add to your plate. It helps you finally put things down.

A 4-hour intensive is designed for high-capacity women who can't add another weekly commitment. As your nervous system softens, tasks feel lighter, decisions get clearer, and time pressure eases.

This creates space...it doesn't consume it.

"What if it stirs up too much?"

We move at the pace of safety. Nothing is forced. Your nervous system leads.

We build your container first...before any trauma processing begins. We titrate inside your window of tolerance. Session structure, regulation tools, and aftercare planning keep you resourced throughout.

You're in control of the pace. Always.  

"How is this different from talk therapy?"

Not more talk. Cellular-level integration and body-based insight.

We blend EMDR, trauma-conscious yoga, mindfulness, and EFT so your body can complete what talk therapy named. We track change with self reported measurable markers.

But here's what makes it different: meaning-making happens through the body. Insights emerge not from analysis, but from processing. Understanding lands because you felt it shift. You learn to trust your body's wisdom instead of overriding it.

You get resources that actually work...not performative coping skills that don't reach your nervous system.  

"Why won't I see testimonials?"

As a licensed therapist, I follow ethics that protect confidentiality and prohibit client testimonials.

What I can share:

We use objective tools, measurable rating scales, and your lived experience to track change: less reactivity, more breath, steadier days, deeper sleep, clearer decisions.

Trauma isn't a life sentence. It's an adaptation we can gently unwind. Therapy with me has resulted in clients reporting life-changing results...resolving PTSD symptoms, releasing generational trauma patterns, and discovering insights that transformed how they understand themselves.

You'll know it's working because you'll feel it...not just understand it.

"Do I have to do a 4-hour intensive, or can I start with regular sessions?"

All new clients begin with a minimum 4-hour intensive. This isn't arbitrary...it's what creates the conditions for your nervous system to fully process trauma memories and access the insights waiting on the other side.

Traditional 50-minute sessions often don't provide enough time for your system to complete the processing cycle. The intensive format ensures you're not left mid-process, and that meaning-making can actually happen.

After your initial intensive, follow-up sessions are flexible: 55 minutes, 2-4 hour intensives, multi-day retreats, or even destination intensives to Puerto Rico. We'll co-create what serves your continued healing.
