Your body has been trying to manage more than it was meant to carry alone.
If you’re here, something inside you is tired of running on tension and alertness.
Maybe your mind feels busy, your body feels braced, or your emotions feel too close or too far away. None of that is failure — it’s your nervous system doing its best to keep you moving.
Therapy here isn’t about “trying harder” or talking your way out of anxiety.
It’s about helping your body find a steadier, more grounded place to land.
Does this sound familiar?
You might notice:
-
Your mind moves fast, worrying or anticipating the next thing
-
Your body feels tight, on edge, or over-sensitive to stress
-
You feel easily overwhelmed or overstimulated
-
You shut down or disconnect when everything feels too much
-
You carry a constant sense of “something’s about to go wrong”
These aren’t personal flaws — they’re nervous-system responses that make sense given what you’ve lived through and how much you’ve had to carry.
What you’re feeling isn’t a failure
Anxiety, irritability, shutdown, emotional intensity, burnout — these are all survival patterns. Your body is trying to help you cope, even when the patterns feel uncomfortable or confusing.
Our work helps you understand these reactions with compassion and gives your nervous system new experiences that don’t rely on constant bracing or over-functioning.
Hi, I'm Lindsay.
I’m a trauma-focused therapist specializing in somatic EMDR.
I support people whose anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional intensity have become part of their everyday lives — whether through parenting demands, burnout, or high sensitivity.
In our work, we slow down the pressure your system has been holding and invite space for something different:
less tension, more breath; less reactivity, more choice; less survival mode, more connection to yourself.
Clients often describe therapy here as feeling like a long exhale they didn’t realize they needed.
How Somatic EMDR Can Support You
When anxiety keeps your system in a heightened state — alert, tight, or shut down — your body starts to believe it needs to stay there.
Somatic EMDR gently helps you:
-
Notice and understand your body’s signals
-
Work with where anxiety lives in your system
-
Move through held tension without forcing anything
-
Create new patterns of calm and presence
You don’t have to relive painful memories.
We follow what your body is ready for, at a pace that feels doable and supportive.
Specialties
When constant caregiving leaves you anxious, overstimulated, and stretched thin, we create space for your nervous system to settle so you can feel steadier and more connected.
If life’s demands have pushed your system past its limits, therapy helps you understand the anxiety and shutdown patterns behind burnout — and rebuild from a grounded place.
If you feel everything intensely and find yourself easily overwhelmed or anxious, we work gently with your nervous system so sensitivity becomes a strength, not a burden.
