Sheila has been the most amazing professional therapist that I have worked with. She has a lot of different skills to apply when needed in sessions, and her ability to know when to use which skill has kept sessions productive and healing. She has helped me through huge life transitions, including a very traumatic car accident. -A.
"I've had a lot of therapists over the years, but my experience with Sheila has been unique. I've finally been given practical skills to address my anxiety. Now, I feel more in control of my symptoms.. It's refreshing to work with a therapist who focuses on providing actionable tools. Highly recommend!" -S.
“I cannot express how transformative my experience has been working with Sheila. The combination of trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness practices, and depth of sessions provided me with the tools I needed to heal and grow, creating a fundamental shift I have been longing to have. EMDR has changed my life! Thank you!” -R.
It was a truly transformative experience. The focused, immersive nature of the intensive created a safe and supportive environment for profound healing and growth. I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity and am looking forward to more deepening sessions in the future. It was totally worth it! -E.
Meaningful change isn't measured by what happens in the therapy room—it's reflected in how you experience your life long after you leave it.

EXTENDED SESSIONS
What you'll gain:
Sometimes the most meaningful breakthroughs happen after the first fifty minutes.
Some conversations deserve more space. Extended therapy sessions are designed for clients who want the freedom to slow down, explore more deeply, and leave feeling complete rather than feeling like they were just getting to the heart of the work. Whether we're processing trauma through EMDR or ART, navigating a significant life transition, working through relationship patterns, or untangling years of perfectionism, anxiety, or burnout, having additional time often allows for deeper insight and more meaningful change.Extended sessions also create space to connect the dots between different areas of your life instead of having to choose just one topic each week.
. Rather than feeling rushed or stopping at a natural breakthrough, you'll have the opportunity to stay with the work, allowing your nervous system, mind, and emotions the time they often need to process and shift.They offer the depth of ongoing therapy while reducing the feeling of constantly starting and stopping. Like every service I offer, extended sessions aren't about fitting you into a predetermined model of therapy—they're about creating the right experience for where you are today. Together, we'll determine whether additional time can help you move toward the meaningful, lasting change you're seeking.

cOUPLES tHERAPY & dISCERNMENT Counseling
Your relationship deserves more than another argument.
Relationships rarely struggle because people stop caring—they struggle because stress, trauma, life transitions, unmet needs, and old patterns quietly begin shaping the way partners communicate and connect. Over time, the same conversations repeat, resentment builds, and it can feel like you're speaking different languages despite wanting the same things.
Whether you're preparing for marriage, adjusting to parenthood, recovering from infidelity or addiction, exploring nontraditional relationship structures, improving communication, or feeling like one partner has one foot out the door, therapy provides a structured space to slow down, understand what's happening beneath the conflict, and begin responding differently. Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your ability to repair after conflict, and help you build a relationship rooted in honesty, empathy, and mutual understanding.
For couples who feel uncertain about whether to stay together, Discernment Counseling offers a different path. Rather than jumping directly into relationship repair or separation, discernment counseling helps you gain clarity about your relationship, understand how you arrived at this point, and make thoughtful, intentional decisions about your future. It is especially helpful when one partner is leaning toward leaving while the other hopes to preserve the relationship.
No matter where you are in your journey, my goal isn't simply to help you communicate more—it's to help you understand one another differently so you can move forward with greater confidence, whether that means rebuilding your relationship or choosing your next chapter with intention.

EMDR & ART Therapy
Investment Starts at $180/session
Healing isn't about forgetting—it's about finally feeling free.
Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event, years of cumulative stress, complicated grief, or simply notice that old experiences continue to influence your relationships, confidence, or ability to enjoy life, EMDR and ART offer an evidence-based path toward meaningful healing. Rather than spending years retelling every detail of your story, these therapies help your brain naturally process distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. EMDR and ART can be helpful for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, perfectionism, performance anxiety, grief, childhood experiences, relationship wounds, medical trauma, and many of the negative beliefs that quietly shape how we see ourselves and move through the world.
Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your goals and may be integrated with parts work, somatic interventions, cognitive strategies, and practical tools to create an experience that fits your unique needs.
The goal isn't simply to reduce symptoms—it's to help you experience your life differently. When old wounds no longer dictate how you respond, you gain the freedom to show up more fully in your relationships, your work, and the life you're creating. Healing becomes less about surviving what happened and more about living with greater confidence, connection, and possibility.

Choosing private-pay therapy allows for greater flexibility, personalization, and privacy. Rather than being limited by insurance requirements or treatment restrictions, we can focus on the goals that matter most to you, adjust session length or format when appropriate, and tailor our work to your unique needs. My focus is on providing thoughtful, individualized care designed to create meaningful, lasting change—not simply meeting insurance guidelines.
Yes. One of the benefits of working together is flexibility. Some clients begin with weekly therapy and later transition to extended sessions, EMDR, or a therapy intensive depending on their goals and where they are in life. As your needs evolve, our work can evolve with you.
No. Many clients begin therapy with a general sense that something feels off but struggle to put it into words. Therapy provides space to better understand yourself, clarify your goals, and discover what's truly keeping you stuck before deciding where to focus.
Therapy looks different for everyone. Some clients come for a focused period to work through a specific concern, while others return at different seasons of life as new challenges or opportunities for growth emerge. My goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever—it's to help you build the insight, skills, and confidence to navigate life more effectively, knowing support is here whenever you need it.
My clients are often people who have already read the books, listened to the podcasts, and tried to figure things out on their own. They aren't looking for someone to simply listen—they're looking for meaningful change. My approach combines compassionate support with practical strategies, evidence-based therapies, and years of clinical experience so you leave sessions with new perspectives, actionable tools, and greater confidence in yourself.
Yes. Rather than relying on a single therapy model, I integrate evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, parts work, somatic strategies, attachment-focused interventions, and practical skills—to create a personalized experience based on your goals. Therapy should fit your life—not the other way around.
Not at all. Many of my clients are successful, thoughtful, high-functioning adults who aren't in crisis—they simply know they want more from life. Therapy can help improve relationships, reduce stress, process grief, navigate career or life transitions, build confidence, strengthen communication, and create lasting personal growth..
That's completely okay—and actually very common. Many clients come to me knowing something needs to change but feeling unsure which approach will help them get there. Part of my role is helping you understand your options and recommending the approach that best fits your goals, personality, and life.
Weekly therapy provides steady support and long-term growth over time. Extended sessions offer additional time for deeper processing, EMDR, ART, or working through multiple concerns without feeling rushed. Therapy intensives provide focused, uninterrupted time to make meaningful progress toward a specific goal, often accomplishing in hours what may otherwise take months of shorter sessions.
You don't have to decide on your own. During your consultation, we'll talk about your goals, what's bringing you to therapy, your schedule, and the type of support you're looking for. Together, we'll determine whether weekly therapy, extended sessions, a therapy intensive, EMDR, couples therapy, or another approach is the best fit. Because I offer multiple ways to work together, therapy is personalized to your needs rather than fitting you into one model of care.
