EMDR Intensive therapy for women in Connecticut
Meet Laura
EMDR therapy for women 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 women who feel stuck—who've done the insight work but are 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
At its core, therapy is about exploration & curiosity
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. Sometimes we take detours. Sometimes we find things we didn't expect. That's how real healing works.
This work isn't about me having all the answers or fixing you. It's about creating space for your mind, body, and heart to finally process what's been stuck so you can move forward with more clarity, calm, and trust in yourself.
I'll bring tools, perspective, and steady support. You'll bring everything you already know about yourself, even the parts that feel buried right now. And you'll always be in the driver's seat.
Healing can feel exciting, vulnerable, and even a little scary at times. But you won't be doing it alone.
We are on a journey together.
Clients often share that working with me feels steady and clear.
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 dance.
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 energy work: things like stones, chakras, or other grounding practices.
Choose your path to healing
Both paths lead to the same destination: feeling like yourself again, but calmer, clearer, and free from the exhausting inner chatter. And yes, you can do a hybrid of both!
