Reclaim Wellness Therapy
For the intuitive, creative, deeply feeling soul who has always sensed there is more. This is a place to breathe, unravel gently, and come home to yourself.
I offer EMDR Holistic Trauma therapy and EMDR Intensives in Annapolis for adults, Imago couples therapy, and Restorative Sound & Energy Alignment Sessions, supporting healing from people pleasing, trauma, attachment wounds, and the exhaustion of trying to fit into spaces that were never built for sensitivity. Here, spirituality and psychology coexist, and healing happens with compassion, presence, and choice.

I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) Holistic Trauma therapy for sensitive, intuitive adults who are navigating people pleasing, low self-worth, shame, trauma, attachment wounds, life transitions, grief, and the weight of carrying so much for so long.
EMDR is a research & brain based therapy that helps the brain process and heal from difficult experiences. EMDR therapy helps your nervous system reprocess memories so they are no longer stuck.
Together, we create a clear roadmap for healing, so you can cultivate: self-compassion, self-love, confidence and joy. This work helps you nurture your inner child, reconnect with your authentic self, and reclaim your sense of safety, choice, power and sacredness.
Sessions include: a blend of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Spiritual therapy. If you've tried traditional talk therapy and it hasn't worked, you've come to the right place

Whether you are newly engaged, preparing for marriage, or longing for a deeper, more connected relationship, we will focus on safety, communication, and genuine emotional connection.
I'm an Imago trained couples therapist, supporting partners in understanding each other’s emotional needs, healing relational wounds, and navigating challenges with compassion and respect.
My practice is LGBTQIA+, ENM, and poly affirming, with a deep commitment to honoring diverse identities, relationships, and ways of loving.

Are you ready for something more or different than the traditional therapy sessions? Do you feel stuck? If so, EMDR Therapy Intensives for sensitive adults are for you! They're designed to help you with accelerated trauma processing and creating lasting change and growth within yourself.
This format allows more time than traditional talk therapy sessions to work through difficult experiences. Intensives blend: EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Somatic Therapy to assist you in resolving negative beliefs about yourself, working compassionately with your inner child, releasing shame and reclaiming your wholeness.
Intensives include 1-2 prep sessions and a 2 hour EMDR Therapy Intensive session. Together, we'll create a clear plan for your Intensives journey, depending on your goals.

Restorative Sound Healing & Energy Alignment Session:
These trauma informed restorative sessions include: gentle sound healing, bilateral stimulation, reiki, energy assessment and clearing, nervous system awareness and inner child attunement work for sensitive adults. Sessions are non-touch and deeply respectful of personal boundaries. You're fully clothed and lay on a massage table for the session. This service supports nervous system wellness and is not psychotherapy or medical treatment.
