Trauma Therapy for Adults Who Carry Significant Responsibility — and Are Ready for Deep Change
Therapy offers the opportunity to work at a deeper level — not simply managing symptoms, but understanding and resolving the experiences that continue to shape how you feel, relate, and move through your life.
When Insight Isn’t Enough
Many of the people who reach out for this work are thoughtful, capable adults who have spent much of their lives showing up for others — while quietly carrying experiences that were never fully resolved.
You may notice patterns that continue to repeat despite your best efforts. You may find yourself reacting in ways that don’t align with who you want to be, or carrying emotional burdens that don’t make logical sense.
Often, these responses are rooted in earlier experiences that have not yet been fully processed.
This work focuses on helping you move beyond insight alone and into deeper resolution — so you can experience lasting change, not just temporary relief.
My Approach
My work integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), two evidence-based approaches that allow us to work directly with the deeper roots of emotional pain and trauma.
Internal Family Systems helps you understand the different parts of yourself that developed over time — including the parts that learned to protect you and the parts that still carry the impact of earlier experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate these parts, we work to understand them, build trust with them, and help them release the roles they have carried for so long.
EMDR allows us to process specific memories that continue to influence how you think, feel, and respond in the present. As these memories are processed, their emotional intensity decreases, and new, more adaptive beliefs naturally emerge.
Together, these approaches support meaningful, lasting healing — helping you move beyond intellectual insight and into deeper emotional resolution.
The Work We Do Together
Therapy is not about fixing you.
It is about helping you understand yourself more fully, resolve the burdens you have carried, and develop a deeper sense of internal stability and self-leadership.
As this work progresses, many clients notice meaningful shifts in how they experience themselves and their lives.
You may find yourself:
• Responding rather than reacting
• Feeling less emotionally overwhelmed
• Experiencing greater clarity and confidence
• Relating to others in healthier, more secure ways
• Letting go of patterns that once felt automatic
• Trusting yourself in ways you couldn’t before
These changes do not happen through force or pressure, but through creating the conditions for genuine healing.
This process is thoughtful, intentional, and deeply transformative.
Who I Work With
My practice is designed for adults who are ready to engage in meaningful, depth-oriented therapy.
Many of my clients have experienced trauma, attachment wounds, or difficult life experiences that continue to affect their present relationships, sense of self, or emotional well-being.
Therapy is conducted via secure telehealth sessions, allowing for privacy, consistency, and flexibility.
RES Counseling Services is a private-pay practice, and session fees are $200.
About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting adults through meaningful and lasting change.
My clinical background includes work in community mental health, hospice and palliative care, domestic violence and sexual assault, school counseling, and private practice. These experiences deepened my understanding of how trauma, loss, and life experiences shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to navigating high levels of responsibility, complex roles, and frequent transitions — often while continuing to show up for others in meaningful ways.
Over time, I found that many people had already developed insight into their struggles, yet continued to feel stuck in patterns that insight alone could not resolve. This led me to focus my work on trauma-informed, depth-oriented therapy using Internal Family Systems and EMDR.
My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to explore what may have felt difficult to face alone. I see my role as helping you understand yourself more clearly, work through the experiences that have shaped you, and move toward greater stability, freedom, and self-trust.
It is a privilege to do this work and to walk alongside people as they reconnect with themselves and create meaningful change in their lives.
