Virtual EMDR trauma therapy for high-achieving women attorneys in the DMV

Chevy Chase, Georgetown, McLean and Beyond

Your life changed in an instant—now, nothing feels the same.

I help high-achieving women attorneys heal from recent trauma before it turns into PTSD, so they can regain control, protect their success, and move forward with confidence—without sacrificing their drive or ambition.

My clients struggle as you do. They are strong, capable women who have built lives they’re proud of. They’re lawyers- they’ve always handled challenges, pushed through the hard times, and figured things out on their own. No one would guess that right now, they’re barely holding it together.

The trauma came out of nowhere—a car accident, an assault, a medical emergency, a moment of sheer helplessness. One minute, life was normal. Then next, everything changed.

And now, the memories won’t stop. The flashbacks come out of nowhere. Sleep is restless or nonexistent. Certain sounds, smells, or places bring a rush of fear. The feeling of control—the thing they’ve always prided themselves on—has disappeared. They’ve always fought through adversity. All their skills they would typically use just aren’t working this time.

When my clients first come to me, they’ve already done their work and have been through the fluff. They know their worth and they just want to get in, regain control of their lives, and begin navigating their new normal after being shook by this trauma.

Guilt and responsibility also burden them. They tell me they should be “over it” by now. That other people have been through worse. That they should be strong enough to push past it. They try to keep moving, to keep up appearances, to will themselves back to normal.

But deep down, they know something isn’t right.

They’re not looking for someone to tell them to “move on” or “think positive.” They just want to feel safe again—in their own body, in their own mind, in their own life. The intrusive images are re-traumatizing.

Before the came to see me, they were avoiding reminders of the incident- driving their normal route to work now felt unsafe. They used to go through their day smoothly. Now they take bathroom breaks to cry in peace. Trying to outrun their emotions force a smile was exhausting.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to go through this alone.

I help women heal from trauma using EMDR therapy, a powerful approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they stop feeling like they’re happening right now. You don’t have to relive the worst moments over and over. You don’t have to stay stuck in fear, anxiety, or numbness. Healing is possible.

You are not broken. You are not weak. You are human.

If you want to feel lighter, cry a little less, and get back to how you normally would feel after experiencing something difficult, let’s talk. Schedule a consultation today.
