EMDR Intensives & Somatic Trauma Therapy in WA
For the high-achiever who feels stuck; the deep feeler who feels disconnected; & the caretake who feels empty
YOU MAY RECOGNIZE YOURSELF HERE….
You’re thoughtful, capable, and emotionally aware—but inside, something still feels heavy.
Maybe you:
Feel responsible for other people’s emotions
Struggle with guilt when you rest, say no, or prioritize yourself
Notice your body stays tense or braced, even when life looks “fine”
Understand your patterns intellectually, but can’t seem to shift them
Grew up needing to be mature, helpful, or self-sufficient too early
You may have spent years trying to “work on yourself,” yet parts of you still feel unseen, burdened, or alone.
These patterns make sense given what you had to adapt to.
If any of these resonate, I am here to help.
“I help adults who grew up being the strong, responsible one—carrying emotional responsibility, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism—heal the guilt, shame, and emotional exhaustion rooted in early relationships, so they can feel grounded, connected, and at ease in their lives and relationships.”

Founder/Mental Health Therapist at KareKounseling PLLC
THERAPY THAT GOES DEEPER THAN INSIGHT ALONE
Many of my clients have already tried traditional talk therapy. They understand why they feel the way they do—but their nervous systems never fully caught up.
➔You know you want to stop people-pleasing
➔You want to stop doubting your worth.
➔You want to stop being pulled back into old memories and patterns.
You want to feel like you again — grounded, present, and whole.
My work focuses on helping your body and inner system gently release long-held patterns of emotional responsibility, self-abandonment, and hyper-vigilance—so change isn’t just something you understand, but something you feel.

WHY WORK WITH ME
Our work focuses on helping your nervous system gently release long-held patterns of bracing, over-responsibility, and emotional self-abandonment—so change happens not just in your thoughts, but in your body and in your relationships.
This is collaborative, attuned work, paced with care and respect for your system. We move slowly enough for real safety to build, and intentionally enough for meaningful change to occur.
I integrate trauma-informed approaches including:
Together, these methods allow us to work directly with the nervous system and the inner parts that learned to survive early relational stress—so healing doesn’t depend on willpower, positive thinking, or insight alone.
Over the years, I’ve seen people remember their trauma without being overtaken by it. They feel more present in their bodies, more like themselves again. They have greater capacity and resilience to meet life’s challenges, rather than feeling constantly depleted or on edge.
This kind of healing is possible—and I want this for you, too.

Hi, I’m Jane!
As a mom and a human being with flaws, I bring a culturally attuned lens to therapy—one shaped by generational stories, identity, and the ongoing work of belonging to yourself.
Clients tell me they value how I help them go deeper—into their bodies, patterns, and inner child—gently and without overwhelm. Many come to therapy carrying heavy emotional weight quietly and alone. While that burden may feel overwhelming right now, there is also real hope for healing, relief, and meaningful change.
If you’re longing for therapy that feels relational, attuned, and held with presence—something embodied, culturally thoughtful, and rooted in genuine compassion—I would love to work with you!
I specialize in:
↠ Healing childhood and generational trauma
↠ Navigating emotionally immature or critical parents
↠ Inner child work for parts that never felt safe
↠ Body shame, food guilt, and discomfort taking up space
↠ Emotional, physical, and sexual trauma
↠ Support for flight anxiety and fear of flying
↠ Test anxiety and performance stress
↠ Processing medical trauma held in the body
↠Healing toxic shame

Attuned Trauma Therapy that honors your nervous system
My clients often look a lot like you — strong, capable, and deeply caring on the outside… yet carrying so much on the inside.
Many are high-achievers who still feel stuck.
Deep feelers who no longer feel connected.
Caretakers who give endlessly but feel empty themselves.
Even with all their resilience, humor, and independence, life feels heavier than it should. They’re frustrated that childhood wounds still shape their relationships today. They notice old patterns showing up with partners, friends, or coworkers — even when they try so hard to rise above them.
They’re worn down by the relentless inner critic that chips away at their confidence. Anxiety disrupts their sleep. Stress makes it hard to focus. Their relationships feel fragile. And even surrounded by people, they still feel deeply alone.
Many try to handle everything by themselves — for years — because asking for help feels risky. They don’t want to be a burden. They fear being vulnerable. They fear being hurt.
And they fear that nothing will ever truly change.
But like my clients,
you deserve more than survival.
You deserve clarity, connection, and a life that feels like it truly belongs to you.
There is a path where you can stop living in fear, stop repeating old patterns, and begin to feel grounded, whole, and fully yourself. A place where your nervous system can settle, your inner critic softens, and compassion becomes a daily companion instead of a rare visitor.
If you’re ready to heal the parts of you that were never supported, loved, or heard the way they needed — I’d be honored to help you get there.
