Intensive EMDR therapy in Connecticut
Meet Laura
EMDR therapy for those ready to break old patterns and feel steady in their own skin.
I see you, I see the struggle.
You may feel all over the place right now, like you're managing some things REALLY well but crumbling under the weight of others. You don't need someone to fix you. You need help to discover a new way forward.
Hi, I’m Laura.
I work with deep-feeling, self-aware individuals who have worked hard to understand themselves but still feel stuck. They’re ready for something that goes deeper: real, embodied transformation.
You know your looping thoughts, anxiety, perfectionism, and over-functioning aren't working. You understand the patterns. You get it, but understanding and changing are two different things. That's where EMDR therapy comes in.
Together, we'll uncover what's been stuck underneath so you can finally feel lighter, steadier, and free to enjoy the life you've worked hard to build.
This is your invitation to go deeper, to get to the root & finally start feeling real relief.
My Approach: From Insight to Embodiment
Your mind gets it, but your body hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
I think of therapy like planning a road trip. We decide where we're headed, map it out together, and stay open to what we discover along the way. You bring the history and the destination. I bring the charting knowledge and the clinical tools to ensure we don't just drive in circles. Sometimes we take detours. Sometimes we find things we didn't expect, but we always have a plan.
This work isn't about me having all the answers or fixing you. You have spent years gathering insight through talk therapy. You know the why behind your patterns. EMDR is the integration point that finally delivers that memo to your body so you can feel steady in your own skin.
We look at your anxiety or burnout not as character flaws, but as Biological Wins. They are pieces of outdated survival software doing exactly what they were designed to do: keep you safe. Together, we update that wiring to match the life you have built today so you can finally feel relief.
Real connection.
Real change.
This work is about finding a pace that feels sustainable and a partnership that feels steady. I bring a calm, grounded presence and the confidence that whatever shows up, we can work through it together. I show up warm, engaged, and fully human, which means there's room for humor, small moments of connection, and the occasional tangent.
We might talk about the best coffee creamer (Chobani is 10/10, by the way) or share a laugh about something that came up during the week. Those little things matter because they remind us this is two real people doing this work together.
At the heart of it, I value consistency, reliability, and deep respect for your autonomy.
Let’s talk about the
past-present connection.
What feels heavy now (the anxiety, the patterns that don't serve you) often has roots in what you've carried for a long time. Childhood wounds, old relationships, or more recent experiences that left a mark.
Together, we'll explore those connections, honoring what's happening now while gently working with what's still living underneath.
That's the heart of this work: noticing how the past echoes into the present, and doing the steady work of breaking patterns that no longer serve you.
We'll explore how emotions live in your body and how different parts of you show up in moments of stress or safety. Sometimes that includes somatic tools and breathwork. And if it feels right, we might weave in tools like stones, chakras, or other grounding practices.
