Does This Sound Familiar?
You're thoughtful and capable, but inside, something still feels heavy
↠ From the outside, you're doing fine.
You show up, get things done, and remember everyone's birthdays. People describe you as reliable, strong, or "so put together." No one would guess how tired you are.
↠ You're the one people lean on.
You notice when someone is upset before they say a word. You smooth things over, fix what needs fixing, and put your own needs at the bottom of the list. Then you wonder why you feel so empty.
↠ You understand your patterns, but can't seem to change them.
You've read the books. Maybe you've done years of therapy. You can explain exactly where it comes from. And yet your body still reacts: the tight chest before a hard conversation, the guilt after saying no, the inner critic that never takes a day off.
↠ Rest doesn't feel like rest.
Even on a quiet evening, part of you is scanning for what's next. Slowing down feels uncomfortable, or even unsafe.
And quietly, you wonder:
Why can't I just feel okay?
If any of this feels familiar, let's slow down together for a moment. Your patterns made sense once. They helped you get through. They just don't have to run your life anymore.

heal from guilt, inner criticism, toxic shame, & Emotional Exhaustion
THERAPY THAT GOES DEEPER
I help you:
✔ Break patterns your mind already understands but your body still lives
✔ Heal the emotional residues that show up in relationships, stress, and tension
✔ Move beyond coping to feeling safe, grounded, and whole
Talk therapy helps you understand. But trauma lives in the body, so we work with your nervous system and your inner parts too, not just your thoughts. That's often the missing piece for people who've "done the work" and still feel stuck.
Ways We Can Work Together
For when you're ready for real, lasting change and don't want to spend another year week after week. Several focused hours over 1–5 days, at a pace that feels safe.
Weekly Therapy
Steady, ongoing support with EMDR, IFS parts work, and Somatic Experiencing. For when you want time to build trust, go at your own pace, and heal layer by layer.
Couples Therapy & Couples Intensives
When old wounds keep showing up between you and your partner. IFIO couples therapy and couples intensives help you understand each other's inner world and reconnect.
Why Clients Choose to Work With Me
Hi, I'm Jane
I'm a trauma therapist, a mom, and an imperfect human. I also grew up with CPTSD, and I'm a sensitive person myself.
I understand that deep longing for healing—not just another coping skill or temporary sense of relief, but healing that reaches the core of your needs.
Again and again, I've witnessed people begin to remember their experiences without being overwhelmed by them. They feel more present in their bodies, more connected to themselves, and more able to move through life with steadiness and self-trust. Life no longer feels quite as depleting or "on edge" all the time.
Through our work together, many clients experience the sense of calm and safety their nervous systems have been longing for.
This kind of healing is possible.
If this is something you've been seeking, it would be an honor to support you in that process.

What It's Like to Work With Me
In our time together, you don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to be the strong one, or the "good client"
You don't have to explain why something small felt big
You can ask me to slow down, pause, or try a different approach
You can cry, rest, or sit quietly
You can tell me if something I said, or how I said it, didn't feel right. I'll be grateful you did.
Your needs come first here, maybe for the first time
Imagine what it would feel like to…
Say no without lying awake replaying it
Let a sharp tone pass through you, instead of ruining your day
Rest without guilt
Visit family without needing days to recover
Feel at home in your own body
Still care deeply, without carrying everyone
You get to keep your big heart, and finally put down the weight.

How to Get Started
Getting started is simple
Book a free 20-minute consultation. A gentle first conversation, with no pressure to book anything.
We choose your path together. Weekly therapy, an intensive, or couples work, whatever fits your needs, schedule, and budget.
We begin, at your pace. You'll know what to expect at every step.
As a mom and an imperfect human, I bring a culturally attuned, relational approach to therapy—shaped by identity, generational stories, and the work of coming home to yourself.
Clients often share that they feel supported going deeper into their bodies, patterns, and inner child in a way that feels gentle and contained. Many arrive carrying heavy emotional burdens alone, and while it can feel overwhelming, healing and meaningful change are possible.
If you’re seeking therapy that feels attuned, embodied, and grounded in genuine compassion, I’d be honored to work with you.
