Are you tired of feeling like you have to hold it together all of the time?

You’ve always been the strong one, the go-to support for your friends and family. From the outside, it seems like you have it all figured out: a good job, fulfilling relationships, and the love and support from the family you’ve always dreamed of.

But behind that smile, there is a void and an underlying current of dread and anxiety. You struggle with feeling truly seen and connected in your relationships. You want to quiet that critical inner voice that tells you nothing is ever enough, that you are not enough. You push it all down and forge on, giving so much of yourself until you are left feeling exhausted and empty. You’ve hit your limit.

You want to be free from anxiety, the pressure of holding it all together, and that nagging critical voice. You are ready to feel more confident and connected with yourself and others. It’s time to take care of you, but you aren’t sure where to begin.

You've come to the right place.

Hi! I’m Dr. Shara, and I can help. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to help you feel heard and seen, supporting you in your journey toward healing and personal growth. Through EMDR therapy, we will examine how important events and relationships in your past may be resurfacing in your present beliefs, relationships, and patterns of behavior. We will identify how some of these patterns may be holding you back or contributing to feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, or empty. Together, we will develop tools and resources to help you feel more grounded, calm, and confident, enabling you to feel more connected to yourself and your relationships.

EMDR Specialties

EMDR Therapy

I use EMDR therapy to help individuals process and recover from traumatic memories by guiding them through eye movements and other forms of bilateral stimulation. This approach is effective in treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and phobias, helping you reframe distressing experiences into more manageable and adaptive mental states. EMDR therapy is a powerful tool for healing from trauma, allowing you to move forward with a renewed sense of peace and well-being.

EMDR Sessions

I provide EMDR consultation sessions for clinicians who are looking to deepen their skills, strengthen their confidence, and receive support with their clinical work. In these sessions, I offer guidance on case conceptualization, complex client presentations, treatment planning, ethical considerations, and best-practice application of EMDR. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and effective in your EMDR practice, while supporting the quality of care you provide to your own clients. If you’re a clinician looking for EMDR consultation, contact me to get started.

EMDR Consultation

Are you a clinician looking to become EMDR certified? I can support you through the EMDRIA certification process while helping you strengthen your clinical skills in treating complex trauma. Together, we’ll focus on integrating EMDR therapy into your existing practice in a way that feels natural and effective, whether you work with children, families, couples, or individuals. EMDR therapy can help clients move beyond symptom relief toward deeper healing, growth, and lasting change.

An Integrative EMDR Approach

Therapy for Trauma

EMDR therapy is like a mental rewire for trauma, using things like tapping or eye movements to help your brain sort through tough memories. It can dial down the emotional intensity. it can help address unhealthy ways of coping with trauma such as substance abuse, sex addiction, and negative beliefs.

Therapy for Anxiety

When it comes to anxiety, EMDR therapy tackles those racing thoughts and jittery feelings head-on. It helps you process what’s causing the anxiety, so you can feel more in control and less overwhelmed. Treatment is also known to help with depression, panic disorder, and certain phobias. Find understanding, resolution, and clarity.

Therapy for Self-Esteem

Working on self-esteem with EMDR therapy is like giving your self-image a makeover. It helps you swap out those negative thoughts about yourself with more positive ones, so you start feeling more confident and comfortable in your own skin. Address the underlying issues that leave you feeling disconnected, depressed, and emotionally spent.

Depression

EMDR therapy helps identify and release the painful memories, negative self-beliefs, and emotional patterns that feed depression. It’s not just about managing symptoms; it’s about creating real change by addressing the root causes. Together, we’ll work to restore a sense of meaning and hope so you can reconnect with yourself and your life.

PTSD & C-PTSD

Whether you’ve experienced a single traumatic event or a series of ongoing wounds over time, PTSD and Complex PTSD can disrupt your ability to feel safe, whole, or present. EMDR therapy is one of the most effective treatments for both. We’ll work gently but intentionally to reprocess trauma, reduce flashbacks or emotional triggers, and rebuild your nervous system’s sense of safety. Healing is possible even if you’ve lived with the pain for a long time.

Therapy for Therapists

As a fellow therapist, I understand how heavy the work can be especially when your own history intersects with what you’re holding for others. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can receive the same depth of care you so often give. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, imposter syndrome, compassion fatigue, or your own unresolved trauma, we’ll use EMDR therapy and compassionate reflection to help you find grounding, insight, and restoration.

You don’t have to continue doing this alone and pretending to have it all figured out. It’s time to take care of you.
