Maybe you’re tired of holding everything together, putting your needs last, and still feeling disconnected from yourself.
Healing isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about uncovering who you've always been.
Childhood trauma can shape the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the way you move through the world. Therapy can help you process what you've been carrying, gently pull back those layers, and reconnect with the person beneath them.
Be the one everyone depends on.
Have a hard time asking for help.
Put everyone else's needs before your own.
Keep pushing through, even when you're exhausted.
Understand your patterns, but still feel stuck.
Feel disconnected from yourself.
Wonder who you are beneath the roles you've spent so long carrying.
If these experiences feel familiar, you've come to the right place. Together, we'll begin making sense of your story and creating space for something different.
You may…
The person you've always been is still there.
Maybe you've spent so much time trying to be who everyone else needed you to be that you're no longer sure who you are.
Maybe you've become so used to pushing through that you don't even know what it feels like to slow down and ask yourself what you need.
I don’t believe you've lost who you are. I believe she's still there beneath the layers of experiences, expectations, and survival patterns you've carried for so long.
Therapy will help you gently pull back those layers so you can begin trusting yourself again, honor your needs without guilt, set healthier boundaries, and create a life that feels more like your own.
Not all trauma looks the same.
Many women hesitate to use the word trauma because they compare their experiences to someone else's.
"Nothing that bad happened."
"Other people had it worse."
Trauma isn't only about what happened. It's also about what was missing.
Maybe you grew up feeling like your emotions were too much. Maybe you learned to become the responsible one, the peacekeeper, or the caregiver. Maybe you didn't feel emotionally safe, truly seen, or free to simply be yourself.
Those experiences matter. And when we begin to understand them with compassion instead of comparison, we create space to respond differently instead of simply surviving.
You may still feel the impact today.
It may show up as…
Feeling responsible for everyone else's needs while ignoring your own.
Struggling to say no without feeling guilty.
Constantly questioning yourself or wondering if you're "too much."
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted even when life looks "fine."
Having a hard time slowing down because you're always pushing through.
Repeating relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or unfulfilled.
Feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure of what you truly want.
Whether you describe your experiences as childhood trauma, emotional neglect, people-pleasing, perfectionism, chronic anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can help you understand the deeper patterns behind them so they no longer have to shape every decision, relationship, or expectation you place on yourself.
Healing Beyond Talking
Many of the women I work with have spent years trying to understand why they feel the way they do. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and spent time reflecting on their past.
Insight is an important part of healing—but it isn't always enough.
Sometimes healing also means helping your mind, body, and nervous system experience something different.
That's why I integrate approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, therapeutic yoga, mindfulness, and nervous system-informed care. Each one is simply a different way of helping you process what you've been carrying and create lasting change—not just understand it.
Therapy is tailored to your individual needs and may include:
EMDR Therapy
Somatic Therapy
Therapeutic Yoga
Parts Work
Mindfulness & Nervous System Regulation
Strengths-Based Therapy
I’m glad you’re here.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for therapy, especially if you've spent much of your life believing you had to carry everything on your own. My hope is that from our very first session, you'll feel seen, supported, and accepted exactly as you are.
I created Wholehearted Counseling to be a space where women can slow down, make sense of the patterns that have shaped their lives, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for them. I believe healing isn't about fixing who you are—it's about understanding what you've been through with compassion and gently uncovering the person you've always been beneath it all.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. I'll ask thoughtful questions, celebrate your strengths, and gently challenge the beliefs and patterns that may no longer be serving you. Together, we'll create a space where you can process difficult experiences, build self-trust, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and compassion, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. If it feels like we may be a good fit, I invite you to schedule a free consultation, or check out more About Me.
Ways to Work Together
Individual Therapy
One-on-one therapy tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Sessions are available virtually throughout Arizona.
Therapeutic Yoga Group
An experiential therapy group that combines movement, mindfulness, and connection to support healing in a small, supportive environment.
Getting Started is Simple
1) Schedule a free consultation call.
We’ll spend 15 minutes talking about what brings you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and any questions you have. This also gives us a chance to see whether we may be a good fit.
2) Begin with an intake session.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your initial intake. This first session gives us more time to understand what you’ve been experiencing, what you hope to change, and what support may be most helpful.
3) Start therapy at a pace that meets your needs.
We’ll typically meet weekly or every other week, depending on your goals, clinical needs, and preferences. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels supportive, manageable, and meaningful to you.
