You’re the One Everyone Relies On.

But Who Supports You?

Move from survival to steadiness — with virtual EMDR and trauma therapy that helps you release guilt and trust your decisions again.

Serving Virginia and Florida

You’ve handled a lot.

You show up. You take care of what needs to be done. You keep things moving. From the outside, you look “ok.”

But inside, anxiety, guilt, or unresolved grief are wearing you down.

Pushing through isn’t working anymore.

Therapy can help you:

  • Fall asleep without replaying the conversation again

  • Notice the guilt in your stomach without letting it take over

  • Make a hard decision — and stand by it confidently

  • Walk into a difficult conversation without your inner critic

  • Say no without explaining yourself into exhaustion

  • Hold a boundary and feel the benefit

  • Interact with playfulness instead of resentment

  • Feel steady in your body instead of bracing for impact

  • Spend your energy on what you love instead of wasting it on worry

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about feeling solid again — in your body, your relationships, and your decisions.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

You’re in the right place to begin.

Specialties

I specialize in grief and trauma work for adults who carry a lot — and carry it well — until it starts to feel unsustainable.

Guilt & Over-Responsibility

If you feel responsible for how everyone else feels, question yourself after setting a boundary, and worry you were too much — or not enough…guilt might be taking over.

When guilt runs your decisions or shrinks your needs, therapy helps you untangle what’s truly yours from what never was.

Identity Loss & Major Transitions

Caregiving. Divorce. Diagnosis. Career shifts. Chronic illness. A new relationship.

When the version of you that “worked” no longer fits, there can be grief — even if no one else sees it. Therapy becomes space to mourn what was, recalibrate, and move forward with steadiness instead of panic.

Traumatic Loss & Complicated Grief

Sudden death. Suicide. Overdose. Medical crisis. Violence. Grief that lingers long after others expect you to be “back to normal.”

When loss is shocking, unfinished, or tangled with guilt and trauma, your body may still be trying to process it. We work to help what happened feel integrated — not looping.

Trauma & Survival Mode

You look functional. You keep showing up. But inside, you’re bracing. Your stomach drops. You’re scanning constantly. You stay slightly on edge.

When the past still lives in your nervous system, therapy helps your body register that you are safe now — not back there.

Hi, I’m Carly,

A licensed trauma therapist specializing in EMDR and integrative approaches for adults struggling with guilt, burnout, and grief. I help you get measurable progress — not just talk about it.

If you’re like me and my clients, you’re capable, intelligent, and not used to asking for support. Maybe you’ve spent many years masking or putting everyone else first.

I know the feeling. When I was 20, I lost my brother to cancer. At 30, my dad died by suicide. I tried to white-knuckle it through, which led to even worse anxiety, serious guilt, lot’s of “I’m fine,” and ultimately, burnout.

Now, I’m proud to offer therapy and resources to help you heal the root of chronic guilt and relational wounds.

Ready to find some peace? I’m here to meet you with warmth, clarity, and tools that you can use for a better life, today.

Types of Therapy

Step 1:

Free Consultation

We’ll start with a 15-min phone call to talk openly about your life and what you want out of therapy. This is a low-pressure way for us both to confirm we’re the right fit.

Step 2:

Online Intake Session

This 75-min session helps us clarify the life you want to build, map out your specific goals, and choose the right tools (EMDR, Somatics, IFS) to get you there.

Step 3:

Continue Therapy

In therapy, we process trauma, regulate your nervous system, and shift your patterns. You'll notice more internal harmony as you build a more secure life.
