Intensive EMDR Therapy for Anxious Women | Connecticut
From holding it all together— to finally being able to breathe.
For women whose minds get it, but their bodies are still holding on.
Every day shouldn’t feel like survival mode.
From the outside, it looks like you've got it together. But inside? Your chest is tight. Your jaw clenches at night. Your mind runs on a hamster wheel of what-ifs and should-haves.
You've done so much work: therapy, journaling, meditation. You see your patterns. You have a sense of the "why." Insight isn't the issue. But somehow, you still don't feel better or like yourself.
Here's the thing: you can't think your way out of what your body is holding onto. You're not looking for more coping strategies or quick fixes. You're looking to go deep to finally experience actual, lasting relief.
You long to:

→
→
Sleep without your mind running through tomorrow's to-do list or yesterday's mistakes
Stop second-guessing every thought, email, text, and decision
Feel happy without needing to curate a picture-perfect version of your life
Look toward the future with hope, not dread
Feel steady on the inside—even when life outside is messy
Hi, I’m Laura.
If you're here, you probably already know that healing isn't a straight line, and you're ready for an approach that honors how far you've come and where you still want to go.
You're familiar with the anxiety loops you can't think your way out of. The perfectionism and people-pleasing that tie your worth to achievement. The old wounds that keep you waiting for the other shoe to drop, even when things are okay.
Here's what I know: you don't have to endlessly rehash the past to heal from it. Real change happens when your body stops bracing and your mind stops spinning so you can actually live differently.
I use EMDR therapy to help your mind, body, and spirit finally catch up with the life you're trying to build. This isn't about learning more coping skills or getting quick answers. It's about going deeper and shifting the patterns that keep you stuck so you can show up in your relationships, your work, and your own skin in a way that actually feels like you.
The work is grounded and structured, but it also makes space for intuition, meaning, and the wisdom your body already holds. There's room for both the hard stuff and the moments of lightness as things start to shift. And it asks something of you: curiosity, willingness, and a genuine commitment to your own growth.
Whatever brought you here, healing happens at your pace. Over time, your nervous system learns it doesn't have to work so hard anymore. You get to move through the world feeling calmer, lighter, and more present—without constantly waiting for the ground to give out beneath you.
I support women who are…
What change looks like:

Lying awake replaying conversations, worrying about what people think

Carrying everyone else’s emotions and problems

Having old wounds hijack your relationships and reactions
✘
You’ll experience:
A calm confidence, the ability to rest without earning it
✔
Responses that come from your adult self, not old patterns
✔
The freedom to care without carrying, to support without sacrificing yourself
✔
Clear boundaries without guilt, decisions that feel right in your gut not just your head

Reach out to schedule a free consult. We’ll talk through logistics, questions, and make sure it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure, just information and space to decide.

Start the work.
If it’s a go, we’ll schedule your planning session. You’ll receive a customized therapy workbook to help clarify your goals and value so we start with a clear roadmap in hand.

Feel the Change.
I truly love the work I do with clients, but my goal is for you to not need to come see me forever. I want you to feel real change not just inside the therapy space, but in everyday life.
