EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Therapy for Adults Who Look “Fine” — But Feel Anything But

Trauma Therapy for High-Functioning Adults in Bethlehem, PA

I help high-achieving adults and Adult Children of Alcoholics release the nervous system patterns learned in chaos — so you can stop surviving and actually live.

When Talk Therapy Isn’t Enough

You’ve done the insight work. You can explain what happened and why it affected you — yet your body still reacts as if the danger hasn’t passed.

That’s because trauma doesn’t live in your thoughts alone. It lives in your nervous system.

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who grew up in addicted, narcissistic, emotionally immature, or chaotic families — adults who learned early how to stay calm, capable, and self-reliant while feeling overwhelmed underneath it all.

If this resonates, there is nothing wrong with you.
Your nervous system learned how to survive — and it can learn how to feel safe again.

Work with me

You don’t need more coping skills.

You need integration.

Most clients come to me after years of talking about their trauma — and still feeling it in their body.

My work goes beyond talk therapy. I integrate:

  • EMDR

  • Brainspotting

  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

  • Somatic and nervous system–based approaches

This work is not about reliving the past.
It’s about helping your body release what it’s been holding so you can feel grounded, connected, and calm in the present.

Therapy with me is not about perfection or fixing yourself.
It’s about presence — and learning you were never meant to carry all of this alone.

Current Availability

My schedule for ongoing weekly therapy is currently full.

If you’re looking for short-term, high-impact work, Trauma Healing Intensives are offered on a limited basis. My next opening is in March, and I encourage interested clients to reach out early, as spots fill quickly.

These intensives provide focused, immersive support to help you move through longstanding patterns and trauma—without the structure of weekly therapy.

You may also join the waitlist to be notified when future openings for ongoing therapy become available.
