INTENSIVE EMDR & IFS therapy for anxiety and relational trauma in Ann Arbor and ONLINE THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN

You deserve to live your best life and thrive

You’ve worked so hard to get to this point.

So why does it feel like painful experiences from your past are keeping you stuck?

You feel exhausted from running in circles.

You try so hard, but you still can’t shake the feeling. You over-schedule, overcommit, and always keep yourself busy. You listen to podcasts about stress and time management, but still have a hard time relaxing and having fun because your brain won’t shut off. You haven’t had a good night’s sleep in ages, and you never feel rested.

Maybe you …

  • Can’t stop thinking about an incident or situation—to the point where it’s hard to focus when usually you are on top of everything.

  • Watch yourself overreact to people and situations and don’t know how to stop.

  • Zone out and feel like you’re watching yourself from afar at a meeting or social event. Or maybe you lose hours at a time binging Netflix or getting lost in games or social media on your phone.

  • Spend lots of time worrying about other people’s behavior, motivation, and what they might be thinking about you. Say “yes” even when you don’t want to.

  • Know that you have so much more potential, but end up feeling exhausted. It feels like no matter what you do, you’ll never be “good enough.”

Hi, I’m Jean.

I’m here to support you with empathy, compassion and expertise.

I’m delighted that you’re here. As an experienced, certified EMDR therapist with extensive training in advanced EMDR techniques, somatic approaches, and attachment-focused therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS), I believe in addressing root causes and facilitating healing from the inside out. My approach is client-centered, compassion-focused and strengths-based. I’m passionate about helping people lead their best lives and thrive.

Talk therapy can be helpful, but sometimes it’s not enough. Because “the body keeps the score,” we need to help our mind, body and emotions all get on the same page so we can put overwhelming and painful experiences in the past and focus on feeling good in the present. EMDR—a leading evidence-based therapy for processing overwhelming or traumatic experiences—can be powerfully life-changing! Customized EMDR Intensives can be an efficient and powerful way to get the permanent change you want in a lot less time than weekly therapy. 

Specializing in somatic, attachment-focused EMDR to help busy professionals and healthcare workers feel better sooner.

  • Whether it’s recent or decades old, trauma can shake our sense of self! Beliefs that we are not good enough, are not safe, need to earn love or approval, or can’t trust others stem from earlier experiences.

    EMDR helps you discover the origins of limiting beliefs in order to update old narratives about how you get to show up in the world, who you are, and what you deserve. Learn more.

  • When anxiety “runs the show,” it can be debilitating, keeping you from being able to enjoy your life. Anxiety can look like social anxiety, panic, perfectionism and imposter syndrome.

    EMDR is an effective tool to help quiet your inner critic so that you can stop ruminating about the past and worrying about the future, and instead focus on enjoying your present moment. Learn more.

  • When we are in our professional role taking care of others, it can be difficult to process traumatic experiences in the moment.

    Experiencing direct and vicarious trauma can have a lasting negative impact if left unprocessed. EMDR is the recommended therapy to help your body and mind recover. Learn more.

  • Performance anxiety, fear of failure, and procrastination can interfere with your confidence and “get in your head.”

    EMDR helps the brain think in a healthier, more adaptive way by addressing negative self-beliefs and physiological responses and helping you tap into your strengths. Learn more.
