There comes a moment when you realize the way you have been coping is no longer working, no matter how hard you try to push through. Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns that don't align with the life you want. You want things to feel different in your relationships, your body, your choices, and your day-to-day life. You want to stop escaping, stop overthinking, and feel more connected to yourself, more at peace. You are looking for real change, and you want a therapist who can help you become more confident, more self aware, and ready to truly transform. Hi, I'm Mattie, a trauma-informed therapist supporting high-functioning adults who are ready for real change. I work with individuals who feel stuck in stress cycles, overthinking, or disconnection despite doing all the “right” things. I help you build emotional clarity, self-trust, and lasting transformation using tools like somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, and inner child work.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and what you are hoping will feel different. I will ask about your current challenges, your history, and what has worked or not in the past. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling seen, grounded, and with a clear sense of what working together will look like. No pressure, no fixing, just space to begin.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What makes my approach effective is my ability to help clients go deeper without feeling overwhelmed. I blend insight with structure, supporting you emotionally while helping you build practical tools for change. I am trained in EMDR, somatic therapy, CBT, DBT, and parts work, and I tailor the process to meet your pace. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood and finally able to shift the patterns they have been stuck in for years.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are high functioning on the outside but exhausted on the inside. You may feel pressure to keep it all together, but deep down, you are craving peace, purpose, and emotional clarity. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional numbness, or a big life shift, you are not looking for surface-level tips; you want real insight and change. If you are ready to understand yourself on a deeper level and build a more connected life, I can help.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients process unresolved memories, trauma, and negative beliefs that still impact their relationships, confidence, and self-worth. Through guided bilateral stimulation, we reduce the emotional charge of past events so you can respond to the present with more clarity, ease, and self-trust.
Somatic
I use somatic therapy to help clients reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and regulate emotions stored physically. This approach builds awareness of how anxiety, stress, and past experiences show up in the body, so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and in control during dating, intimacy, and everyday life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and change the unhelpful thought patterns that drive anxiety, avoidance, or low confidence. We work together to replace self-defeating beliefs with realistic, empowering perspectives — so you can take action, communicate effectively, and create the relationships and life you want.
