Virtual EMDR & Trauma Therapy for Guilt, Grief, & Over-Responsibility
You’re the One Everyone Relies On… But Who Supports You?
Using structured, evidence-based EMDR, we’ll help you move out of survival mode and into steadiness. You can think clearly, feel more grounded, and stop carrying so much on your own.

Private-pay therapy for adults ready for deeper, focused work
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.
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’re safe now, not back there.
Hi, I’m Carly,
A licensed trauma therapist specializing in EMDR and somatic therapy 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, smart, and not used to asking for support. Maybe you’ve spent 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 to help you heal from the inside.
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.
